When I come out to you, I don't want you to start telling me about how you totally accept me and you're glad i trusted you enough to tell you and how im still a human and blah blah blah, i would much rather you just say "that's cool" and move on. I don't need you to make a big deal about it, just accept it (make sure I know you heard me and understand, so I don't repeat myself when you already heard me) and move on.

I really think that the Bisexuals want you to know that we are not greedy, or confused, or indecisive, or more likely to cheat. It is NOT just a phase. We are not half gay, half straight, we are 100% bisexual. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Yours truly, a fellow bisexual panda

This goes for some lgbtq+ people as well.BISEXUALS AREN'T SLUTS OR WHORES.I'm bisexual and I'm still a virgin.Some of us are horny, and you know what?That's alright.We all have urges.And sometimes, we want to get laid.So yeah.Also, non binary is a very real gender.

I think you're thinking of agender. Nonbinary is an umbrella term for anyone outside the male-female gender binary, and doesn't necessarily mean an absence of gender :)

Exactly. Pansexual/panromantic people have types and preferences just like straights. I don't get whats so hard to understand about that.

Our personality is more than just our gender or sexuality so please don't make a big show of it and pretend that is everything that anyone ever needs to know about us.

Yessss, like I'm more than a lesbian but nobody else seems to think so.
Alyssa Sweat 4 years ago
Yah, a problem that you might face is once you tell people you are apart of the LGBTQ+ community, they might not see you the same way. Ever since a rainbow became the LGBTQ+ comuniy sign, I have never seen it the same way. Of course not everyone sees you differently once ou ell them. People can act differently.

I'm straight, but when I hear the cursed, 'This is my friend [name]... he's/she's/they're gay!' introduction pisses me off every time! It's like, do you do that with your straight friends?
Bird lover (Submission author) 4 years ago
Yes, I have some friends who do this so I introduce them as "This is my friend [name]... he's/she's/they're strait!"

That 1) lgb people like everyone they meet. Do straight people? Nope. 2) we are (or at least I am) probably already under a lot of stress due to this, please at least try to understand what is happening to us instead of writing us off as weird right away 3) I'm cool if you want to talk about it, but do you need to know every little detail about how I figured out I was a lesbian? Do I ask you for every little detail about how you figured out you were straight? Please stop asking, even if you are trying to be nice. And finally, 4) I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT "DOING THAT" WITH YOU! NOPE! The number of times I have been asked.... (sorry if this is offensive to anyone. I didn't mean it to be, and all sexualities are great. I'm just kinda blowing off some steam.)

These questions are so much more annoying when you're asexual (and nonbinary in my case). Like why do you care about whats in my pants, you never gonna see 'em

It is not ‘preffered pronouns’, it is CORRECT pronouns No, Margaret, I didn’t ‘used to be a girl’, because I am AFAB does not mean I was/am a girl You cannot laugh off misgendering/deadnaming someone on purpose It is NOT him/her, (s)he, or anything like that. Is it THEY We are not confused, or going through a phase It is not a damn choice! Thank you for coming to my TED talk. - A trans and queer Panda

When we come out to you, you do not need to say “just don’t crush on me” I just think it’s rude

And it makes everything weird. Like we can't control if we crush on you, we won't tell you if you don't want us to, but don't say not to crush on you.

For some reason people think they because I’m a lesbian, I must like every girl to ever exist. NAME ONE REASON I WOULD HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU AMANDA BECAUSE I’M STRUGGLING TO TOLERATE YOU.

Me- I'm pan. Straight bitch- Don't get a crush on me though lol. Me- You aren't my type. Straight bitch- *insert shocked Pikachu meme*.

1. We’re trying to take over the world 2. My sexuality does not concern you 3. I can’t change that I’m gay and if I could I wouldn’t 4. If trans peoples pronouns are what’s in their pants then my pronouns are Your/Dad 5. Don’t tell me to go kill myself maybe I will that would kinda make you a murderer right? 6. Dont assume anyone’s pronouns 7. Bisexuals are not whores or sluts 8. Don’t ask how gays f**k each other, ok? I wouldn’t ask you what your favorite sex position was randomly! 9. No I don’t hate straights 10. Super straight is not a sexuality

Asexual does not mean we don't have feelings and we can't care about people. We can still love people, just not sexually. We can still have romantic relationships if we want and platonic ones. We still have emotions. Also, asexuality is a spectrum. A very large spectrum, everyone is different.

HooowlAtTheMoon 4 years ago
Yeah, it's definitely a spectrum some ace people don't want ANYTHING, no cuddles, no kisses, no sex (duh), some are fine with cuddles/kisses, but still aren't interested in sex (that's where I am on the spectrum) and some ENJOY sex, they just do not feel sexual attraction.
Ash Trash 4 years ago
I'm grey-asexual-ish, the best way i can explain it is, i still want sex i still enjoy sex. I just don't see someone and go "damn they look good" i don't have celebrity crushes. I don't value my interest in someone based on "how hot they are". i do find people to look good, it just doesn't affect my interest in them
Ash Trash 4 years ago
Disclaimer, this is not everyone, just showing a part of the diversity on the asexual spectrum.

LGBTQ+ people have preferences just like straights. I don't know how thats hard to understand.
Broken Angel (Submission author) 4 years ago
Ikr it's just simple logic. Most people don't fall in love with everyone they see (not judging those who might) and we're still human, so they should at least be able to listen to us. "YoU DoN't EVen TrY To ExPLaiN!" Cause you won't bloody listen!

Coming out is hard. Way harder than you'd think. Be kind, accept, and move on.

HooowlAtTheMoon 4 years ago
Yeah, it's not like theres a "the worst thing" they can say when we come out, some parents literally kick people out and disown them, and we don't want to lose friends who will start to ignore us when we come out, we don't know how people will react so we put it off.
What do you think ?

The entry is closed, but the A in LGBTQIA+ DOESN'T STAND FOR ALLY! Its stands for asexual. If you say "I am the A in LGBTQIA+" thinking it means ally...um.
PineappleQueen 4 years ago
Yes! I fully agree with this. My pastor on the other doesn’t. He thinks it’s something you can switch or ignore. He says lgbtq is a sin because it goes against the Bible. I’m Christian and still support the lgbtq community, I’m also pretty sure he doesn’t know it works if this is what he said t do.
Bird lover 4 years ago
If it is so easy to switch sexuality then tell him to be gay for a month.
