Because why not
Except let's make this a bit more serious okay.

Basically a fanclub for anyone under the LGBT spectrum, which includes but is not limited to

Lesbian
Gay
Bisexual
Trangendered

Pansexual, asexual, omnisexual, demisexual, autosexual, grey a sexual, genderqueer, agender, bigender, and many other genders and sexualities are included. As well as allies.

I may be missing some, so if you can let me know of some other sexualities, that'd be great.

Anyways, I guess you can share your experience as a part of the LGBT community, stories you found, share pictures, etc.,etc.

Just keep loving okay.

Guys you suck at discussions

Like seriously

Does this mean I have to start and talk about myself

it's okay i love talking about myself
/shot

I'm basically a homosexual bi/panromantic (with some gynephilic tendencies?) but since most people don't understand the concept of being romantically attracted to gender but not sexually, I just say I'm a lesbian. For those who need some explaining, basically I like girls, but I can be romantically attracted to guys or girls (not sure about other genders to be honest which is why I say bi/pan, I've only ever felt attracted to cis women and cis men) and I find femininity more attractive on a person than masculinity. That being said, I'm not really sure of my gender because although I have no problem being a girl, sometimes I want to be a boy and just be able to switch between the two, which would be genderfluid. I wouldn't say I am genderfluid however because I am very unsure.

I came to accepting that I liked girls about January last year, and then around June of the same year I realized I did not find men sexually attractive at all and really had no desire to be with a man sexually. I've had a girlfriend for basically a year and none of us have faced any sort of hate for being gay even though we are very open at our school. I still haven't fully come out to my parents (they think I'm bisexual but decide to ignore it and just talk about how I'm going to have a husband and want me to have a boyfriend and stuff that's basically not going to happen).

Also I like reading gay and lesbian smut more than het.

Okay, everyone share now.
Story time.

K I guess I'm next. Let's see. I am christian and a pastors kid. Coming to terms with my sexuality was tough for me because of my strong religious backround. I first realized I was gay at the age of nine. But I didn't fully accept it until I was twelve. I came out to a few friends when I was fourteen. I still remember how nervice I was! But thankfully they didnt react NEARLY as bad as I thought they would and it felt REALLY good to get it off my chest after so long. My biggest challenge was coming out to my dad sinse he's a pastor I always thought of the worst case scenario. But I did it and you know what he said? He said that doesn't love me any less for it! Isn't that awesome!? I am fifteen now and I am proud to call myself gay and Christian! I love God and I love guys and I love kh, bitches!

That's really great!
Gay Christians are really strong people imo because they stand by their faith even if there are some unaccepting bigots in the same fate.
When I'm older, I'm hoping to go to a gay friendly Christian church (I've been Catholic my whole life but it's not really my thing).
Anyways thanks for sharing <3

[khfanXIII]

Thanks! That means a lot!

ooh ooh me next me next

I'm a panromantic homosexual; I'm only attracted to women (cis and trans) sexually, but romantic wise, idaf. ciswomen, transwomen, cismen, transmen, genderqueer, doooesn't really matter. for me, sex isn't a necessary thing in a relationship, just kind of an added bonus.

I'm Catholic, and come from a pretty homophobic family (as in, they would literally disown me if they found out I didn't like penis) so I obviously haven't come out to anyone there yet. I have come out to a couple close IRL friends (I actually just came out to my openly gay friend the other day) and they've all been really accepting and just overall amazing about it.

It took me a long time to come to terms with myself. I spent a long time worrying about it and lying to myself. when I finally did accept it (a little over a year ago) it felt really great!

I identify fully as female, but I've recently taken a serious interest in crossdressing. I'm pretty much out of luck until I get my drivers license (and a job lololol) later in the year, because there's no way my mom is buying me men clothes.

and there's my novel, hope no one fell asleep reading that.

I would try and type something coherent here but I just woke up from a bad dream, and honestly, I don't feel up to writing a wall of text even though it's overdue. I think I've had the chance to vent at least once on every other site I've been on but I can't even find any good copy/paste material to hand you guys about myself. Oh! How about a list. Lists are nice. And simple. Yeah. *sleepy nod and sips soda which does not have a bunch of little rocks in it like in the dream*

Okay~

• I'm lesbian.
• But I could swing both ways, I just never have. I'll be 22 in a month and I haven't kissed a boy since 1st grade. I think maybe if I were single, which I'm not, and when you're not single you shouldn't be looking for people IMO, and I found just the right guy, I could potentially settle down with one. At this point, it might just be too weird to.
• I'm not lesbian because I dislike guys.
• I just happened to fall in love with girls.
• I think the proper term might actually be panromantic/pansexual: I must fall in love romantically. It starts with similar interests, builds like a friendship, and just like anyone else, personalities have to click. I just relate to girls MUCH faster and I'm only sexually attracted, (in regards to real things, disregard fiction and fantasy), to someone if the relationship has been built up. I don't throw myself at anyone - female or male.
• I've had two relationships and both over five years each. The first time I was the one to flirt, but they acted back on it immediately and strongly, so... yeah. The second time I got sucked into a relationship because my current girlfriend really liked me (I didn't think I was ready for a new relationship yet).

Can I make my list into paragraphed lists? Yeah? Cool.

• Prior to my first relationship I had never EVER been told homosexuality was bad. In fact? I didn't even know it was something that people did until the previous year.
• I was 13 when I had my first girlfriend. It had to be secret from her parents, so it stayed secret from everyone.
• I'd never lied to my parents about anything so important beforehand so I felt extremely nervous for a long time. I still had every intention of telling them. As time went on and I saw how bad things were for others, we both got farther and farther into the closet about it.
• I didn't come out to my parents until after that first relationship was over. I was 18 and it was just before senior prom.
• It sucked.
• Especially because my father didn't tell me he was proud of me at graduation even though I graduated with a 3.8 or 3.9 out of the proper 4.0. I was always in the top 10% of my class. Always.
• Had panick attacks walking home from school. Collapsed and it hurt to breathe... eventually hailed a bus and got home and stopped walking alone after that. I couldn't handle the stress.
• Long car trip immediately after graduation cross country to visit family. Felt awkward the whole time and feared I'd be abandoned along side the road somewhere.
• When one of my older sisters found out over a holiday, she refused to sleep under the same room (our other sister's roof) as me.
• My other sister had a serious talk with her kids and I wasn't on proper terms with them again until the next spring, at which point, they said they didn't understand and felt bad that I was being so ostracized for it (not with such a big word, but yeah). My oldest niece was 13 at the time? I can't recall.

Another break in the list to say: I support NOT changing how you treat someone JUST because you found out they were gay. They probably have been for a while and there's no sense in changing that.

• By the next fall my relationship was back up to 99% with my parents.
• I think it had a lot to do with the fact my dad had a drunken confrontation with the neighbors over their illegal logging and -he- was the one who got thrown in jail for three months because they feared him because he owned guns. So, anyway, past all the ridiculousness of that situation, dad had a lot of time to think about things and the first night he was out I took him out to dinner and everything was great.
• My mom still has a 'she doesn't support what I'm doing because it's against her religion' clause, but she's willing to accept that it's between us and God and it's not something she's going to continue to fuss over.
• My girlfriend actually prays every night and goes to church as often as her work/sleep schedule allows.
• I am, incidentally, just as skeptical of all religions - which a phase my mother went through as well - so she's fine with that, too. She studied world religions in college, after all. She's not concerned I've lost touch with anything, and I guess I haven't, but this isn't a religious discussion. =| I give everything a quick brush over and skeptical glint, because there's not enough physical proof out there to be sure. Everyone is kind of born into their families' religion, and that's not their fault and all. Some wander, some don't, and all I know is that I understand the general 'need' for a belief system.
• My girlfriend was a victim of a hate crime at work last month. *sigh* She's fine, but just two days previously there had been protesters outside the store. >__<
• I support others as best I can. I'm an artist and on deviantART I refuse to give my art to groups that only allow hetero-normative artwork unless the club is for one specific pairing. If not all my pairings are welcome in a general club just because some of them don't portray the characters as straight but someone else's cracktastic nonsense straight pairing is welcome, then I refuse to be affiliated with such a group. I've actually been banned from a group because I made a fuss over their policies.
• My friend has two twin girls who just turned a year old and my girlfriend and I are the god-parents. >w< They're so adorable! I definitely have motherly instincts and when I feel we can support a child, we'd like to adopt.
• Did you know that despite not having an STD, I'm not allowed to donate blood or organs just because I'm lesbian? My friends would practically have to write it into a living will in case they fell into a coma and they needed my help and I was available.
• Not being married and all means I couldn't even do this for my own girlfriend. =|
• I don't even feel I need to get married to affirm my love and loyalty. I'd just like to someday. It's a ceremony and it has meaning. I think if I can find people willing to do it, it should be legal.

There, that wasn't so bad. More coherent than I thought. If anyone should feel the need to talk or would like support, I'm an open ear.

I think I'm gonna start updating this thread with like info on the lesser know of the LGBT community.

Let's talk about trans* individuals.
Now, a transgender/transexual person is someone who is born with the genitals of one gender but the brain of the other.
Their minds and their bodies just don't match up.
Now, you don't refer to these people as 'trannies', 'shemales', 'chicks with dicks', 'hermaphrodite' or any such ignorant thing. Especially hermaphrodite. Like seriously. That has nothing to do with trans* and is actual condition.
What DO you call these people?
You call them men or women, depending on what the identify as.
If someone is a male-to-female, she is a woman and probably would like the pronouns she/her.
If someone is a female-to-male, he is a man and probably would like the pronouns he/him.
If you're not sure about what pronouns someone prefers, ASK.

Now speaking of pronouns, there are also gender neutral pronouns which I believe genderfluid/bigender/agender individuals use. Some however do use she/her or he/him or singular they/them, it just depends.
Some gender neutral pronouns are

ze, sie, ey - equivalent to he/she

hir - equivalent to his/her

Being hetero is a sexuality. What's wrong with that?

[Kingdom Sora]

With the spirit of the fan-club I guess I should say something. It'll probably be long so warning now
I'm a Christian with homophobic parents and sister and I feel like I'm bisexual but I also feel asexual. It's very confusing in my mind since I've never had luck with girls even when I had one. Also I feel like I'm sort of attracted to guys but I'm afraid of t hat happening since my sister already told me that if I was ever gay (or bisexual maybe) she wouldn't be my sister. And my parents judge everyone and they don't really "like" gay people that much. I actually am the lucky one that doesn't judge and has friends who are different. I have a best friend who's a lesbian but I don't see her as one, I see her as my best friend. I have friends who are bisexual but I don't see a difference in them, so why can't I be friends with them? That's my motto but I feel like I'm asexual as well since I don't feel like getting hurt again from some girl. My last girlfriend didn't do anything and "was afraid of showing her emotions in public" which hurts since I felt like she was ashamed of being my girlfriend. But I still feel like I'm bisexual and I'm afraid of telling anyone except my best friend (who told me she was a lesbian before telling the rest of our friends in my 6th period) so I told her. I don't really know who to tell besides people I trust and I don't know who to really trust anymore. So I've just kept my mouth shut. But now I'm getting more afraid since I feel like I'd never be accepted in my family if I told them.
So, now you know.

never said there's anything wrong with it
but heterosexuals don't face the discrimination the lgbt community does.
when straight people are bashed for being straight, when they are not allowed to marry who they love because of their sexuality, when they are not able to adopt because of their sexuality, when they are seen as abnormal because theyre straight and when they have been shamed and called freaks of nature, we can throw a straight pride parade and fight for heterosexual rights.

So, now you know.

It's hard to be gay in a religious family, but you'll figure it out and you'll be fine :3
Who you attracted to shouldn't matter.
So if you like guys but then you figure out later that you don't, that's fine.
If you like girls but then you figure out later that you don't, that's fine.
If you like both but then you figure out that you don't, that's fine.
it's okay to be confused, it takes a while to determine your sexuality, but it's not a big deal.
Like who you like, nothing should stop you from that.

I don't remember anyone in this thread having any problem with it.

also, I'm not sure if this was what you were getting at, but, to quote this video:

"When straight people are kicked out and disowned by their parents for being straight, we can make a straight pride month. When straight people are told that they're less than by the government when they pay taxes just like everyone else and are denied the same basic rights of marriage, then I would march my sorry ass in a straight pride parade. When straight people are told that their love isn't real or, even better, that they're going to burn in Hell by their religions, that the beautiful love that they feel for their partner is evil, then we can have straight pride. When straight kids get teased, picked on, and bullied because they're straight, and commit suicide because they feel rejected in are unloved, then you need, yes, then we would need a straight pride parade. When straight people get tied up, beat, and killed simply because of who they are and who they love, then we would need some straight pride."

[Zero]

We have seem to have forgotten about the Anti-Straight Marches of the 1960's and early 70's. Also the 'Ban Straight' rallies in Eastern Europe and South Africa. The straight community has been attacked several times in history.For example, Roman Emperors were frowned down upon and sometimes harassed if they chose to only become a significant other with the opposite sex. I've also been personally been made fun of by a gay couple for being straight. It was a very harsh judgement that I feel no one in the straight community should have to face. Every group has been through their tough times, and I wouldn't say anyone, not even straights are out of it yet.

[Koko]

Straights still have more privileges than gays in thee present day though. Today there are more cases of anti gay violence than anti straight. Anything anti straight is hardly heard of
plus no one in the thread say anything bad about being straight so there's no reason for you to even bring this up or to continue this discussion because it has nothing to do with the thread
