What the title said. I'd like to learn a bit more about the different parts of the LGBTQIA+ community. I already know a bit about the LGBT part, but I'd love to learn more.

a lot of us have been through stuff, we are used to discrimination, hate, awkwardness. It's just another day when people hate on us, accepting us and treating us like people makes our day
(at least for me)

I feel bad that just being treated like another human is enough to make someone's day, are the standards really set that low?

That's its just another day I worry about being bullied for being me
That, no, i do not have a crush on you just because you're a chic
And, no, I am not confused.

Peak comedy is sometimes just watching homophobic potatoes try and offend us.

You can identify as bi sexual and never sleep with the opposite or same sex. You can just find someone else extremely attractive and it just not be wrong morally. That's all i got. 🙃

Definitely. I ocasionally get atracted to women but in like a 80-20% kind of way. But it realised about it when i was already dating my male SO. So yeah I dont have any intention to ever date anybody else. But that doesnt make me 100% straight

Beside a few great experiences in which I just let things go and tried myself out I have to mention that I’m a Cis hetero guy. Sure open minded and without any preconceptions, on Festivals I sometimes like to crossdress, but In the end just a usual cis Hetero man. Few years ago I had the great opportunity to join a few Queer parties at clubs in berlin, LGBT, LGBTQ call it what you want. Man this community is sooo lovely and kind, the spirit was mindblowing, I never felt so free and accepted like on these parties. It was really an honour for me to get invited and I enjoyed it to the maximum. It really opened my soul and i will never forget it. I feel so sad for all you LGBT people out there who have problems to be yourself just because community has these thoughts and preconceptions about you. I had many conversations about this with queer people and some of them were really heartbreaking.

That is my experience I had with the LGBTQ community and the fact you questioned for is: this community is just lovely and If you have the chance to get into it, take it.

Sorry for any „wrong“ descriptions, titles and so on. Sometimes it’s not easy to find the right words without steeping on someone’s toes. Peace

Thanks for the post, this is really helpful! I think your thing got posted twice, though.

just because we're gay does not mean we wanna sleep with you. and it's not an excuse for not wanting to sleep with you either. no one likes you. stop it. (you= you know who people)

When people say homosexuality is unnatural, they are in fact ignorant of the thousands of animals that are gay

Or trans. Lots of fish will change gender if necessary, and I had a chicken (biologically hen) grow spurs and start crowing

That’s it’s not easy to just “come out”. For some people it could mean the loss of a family, and the feeling of acceptance. It’s not that easy.

I would like to share that the LGBTQIA+ community is gay.

If you're bi, or pan, or anything else, it's common to have a preference. And it's not like 'Im bi, so I have to like all girls and some guys'. I'm bi, and I prefer guys but also like girls. Preferences are a thing.

Oh, also--I know this is the second one I'm posting but it's important.
It's possible to be gay, or biromantic, or panromantic, or anything else, and also be ace. Aromantic isn't always paired with asexual.

2 penguins being gay doesn't really sell homosexuality to me.

Bisexuality or homosexuality happens in almost any mammal and bird species studied. So it is more than "2 penguins".

I'm so tired of the rainbow alphabet soup. Everytime another identity pops up, we add another letter. It's gotten so ridiculous that now people are just adding a plus sign. I'm not straight. I'm gay. Not LGBTQIA. Just gay.

Also, while I love Pride festivals, parades, and honorary months and the like, I'm not "proud" to be gay, any more than I'm "proud" to be right-handed.
