do you support LGBTQ rights or a member of the LGBTQ community?

Straight man. Will always support the LGBTQ+ community. To any of you who are LGBTQ+, Happy Gay Pride Month and for any of you still in the closet. Get out of it. Never be ashamed of who you really are.

I´m straight but I´ll always be a supporter!!! Happy pride month everyone!! 🏳‍🌈🏳‍⚧😄

I’m lesbian. The only other gay person I know is my girlfriend (she’s pan) so U don’t really know much about pride month or other LGBTQ stuff.
And, f**k yeah. I would support them even if I were straight. :) :) :)

F**k yes I support rights for LGBTQ! What I don't understand is why anyone still cares about this. Even if gender preference and gender identity was a choice (I don't think it is) who cares? Cis, trans, gay, bi, who gives a c**p?

Straight, but I support every LGBTQ+ person with my whole heart. I have no patience for those who don’t, and don’t want to hear any tired excuses about religion or tradition. Love who you love!

I don't mind if people don't support LGBTQIA+ because of religion - they're entitled to their beliefs, it's when they use this religion as a reason to be hateful towards the LGBTQIA+ - there's a big difference between not exactly "supporting" it (but still somewhat accepting it) and being hateful.

Some people, like you, are non-binary. Everyone else is, therefore, binary. This divides everyone into two groups, thus making everyone binary. Hmm.

Gay male here- married to my husband (were both 42) 5 years in August but been together for 21 years "half our lives" . we are both big supporters obviously but we also try to help where we can. I used to be a VP for a Non-Profit that focused on making sure lgbt kids had some where to go and do and be themselves and my husband was a founding member of a lgbt committee at this auto manufacturing plant. we try to be good people and spread love and happiness but were not perfect by no means. which just makes us human.

Excellent response! I don't understand why, when we all want the same things-to be treated equally, without prejudice to race, or creed, we must insist on being recognized for our supposed differences when we are all more alike than different!!

No. I don't support them. But before you downvote me, let me explain.

I would love to. The LGBTQIA+ community deserves their rights to love and to live as they wish because it's normal.

Here's the problem. I'm a Christian. And as a Christian, I love everyone. But my parents aren't a big fan of homosexuality or anything along those lines. My mom was driving and on the sidewalk was a classmate who could either be non-binary or trans, and my mom literally said 'it doesn't matter what he says, that is a 'he'.'

Sometimes I would go off on absolutely homophobic rants just to p**s off my mom, calling them 'freaks' and 'non-humans' and my mom wouldn't have any of it. That's good. But she'll drop snide comments like that?

And my sister was dating a girl in high school. Parents found out. Forced her to break up over FaceTime.

And it eventually scared me when I thought I was bi-curious. Because if I realized I was actually bi one day, I would face some unwanted treatment from my parents. Honestly, it scared me into being straight again. I love my parents, but the way they think of LGBT people is too much for me. Especially since I have LGBT family members who aren't out for this same reason.

So, no. I don't support them. At least not openly.

Please go love who you love. You deserve it.

I understand your confusion, and I believe that you do see everyone as deserving to be themselves, but especially you deserve to be yourself without the fear of what your family thinks of you. Most lgbtq go through the exact same situations/fears as you. Don't judge yourself so harshly! Align yourself with your family who are lgbtq. You already have a support system within your family if you'd take the chance. Best wishes to you

I know that "gay" in this context means homosexual, but I still use the word to mean "happy, joyful", so, if you are gay, I also hope it means you are happy and joyful. I try to be as "gay" as I can every day!

2 of my children have declared themselves as being lesbian and nonbinary.
I'm having a difficult time with getting the vocabulary correct.
I've got no issue with them being themselves, but I'm having a difficult time finding positive role models for them as most gay/queer/nonbinary celebs are males who just shart on lesbian/nonbinary fems as if men invented it all.
Lots of wonderful lesbian comédiennes that I adore and encourage my kids to watch, and thank God for Ru Paul to make his series and be so honest (aj and the queen) , but Jonathan van Ness frustrates me with their series that focuses on male nonbinary and doesn't include females. Equality, Johnny!
I want my kids to be their best selves-
They know I'm going to make mistakes in how I "identify" them, but they've told me it's OK.
I love my kids as they are. Nothing will ever change that.

I will add that we are immigrants, and assimilation and acculturating is difficult enough, but when you're not sure of how you orientate, it makes life that much more difficult. My kids had a hard time going into adolescence in a foreign culture not understanding themselves, and already being treated as the "outsider". I fully support my kids to be their true selves-I want them to be happy with themselves and not conform to what any culture wants them to be.
