A single unified LGBTQ+ conversation

Well, Cygan was wondering why there wasn't one, so I made it. I guess we can talk about queer stuff. :3

(*LGBTQ+ Solidarity huggles*)

Oh, and if you're wondering, non-queer folks are welcome too.

So, hey, I'm trans, just tossing it out there.

...huh.

You know, I expected to feel slightly more fullfilled the day my suspicions were confirmed. Ah well.

You've gotten me to imagine a trans political party. I'm not quite sure what that'll entail.

You would get America to admit that it was ATC (America to Canada) and slowly help it to transition into a better, happier country.

Also, did we not know Cloud was trans? I thought I'd already heard that. But maybe I'm just think of someone else... we have so many here now, it seems. Lesse... there's Zombie, CA, Cloud... and, uh, more whom I've forgotten their names, I think...

Linda Harvey, the founder of Mission America, says that LGBT people don’t exist. She made the comments during her weekend broadcast while she was attacking the Gay, Lesbian, And Straight Education Network.

Harvey was particularly perturbed by the GLSEN Sports Program which works towards “creating and maintaining an athletic and physical education climate that is based on the core principles of respect, safety and equal access for all students, teachers and coaches regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.”

Harvey believes there is no need for such a program because according to her, there is no proof that LGBT people exist.

Harvey: “There’s one big fact that’s not backed up. There is no proof that there’s ever anything like a gay, lesbian or bisexual or transgendered child, or teen or human. One of the other things you’re gonna see as I mentioned is a big campaign GLSEN’s gonna roll out this year calling for ‘respect,’ respect! Not just for people, but for homosexual lifestyle. The PR campaign to hold up gay as a good thing: the lifestyle, not the person, because there are no such humans.”

Most people who post here apparently don't exist according to Linda Harvey

THREAD HOP:

Dad tried to pull "What about my grandchildren?!" when I came out to him, despite the fact that 98-99% of males with Cystic Fibrosis are sterile. When I brought that up he literally shouted "WHAT IF YOU WERE IN THAT ONE PERCENT?!"

Fun fact: He's always encouraged adoption, even before I came out to him.

So I also brought that up to him and he just sort of aggro'd.

He has a brain injury that causes him to be in a constant state of depression and/or anger, so, yeah.

I mean now he's all like, "Hell yeah your boyfriend can move in with us if you're still together when he turns 18!", but literally just the day I came out to him, he flipped his lid.

But I came out to him in the middle of a fight.

Out of nowhere.

In the car.

At night.

On his birthday.

[up][up][up] And people said I had guts. I feel so wimpy T.T

Hey I did it with my father when he was in total bliss. Well sorta he was about to start doing taxes but he hadn't gotten around to it.

Of course he was like DON'T TELL YOUR MOTHER so I just read every single gay themed book in the library within 3 days.

It worked. I'd say that was the longest and most awkward convo ever (three hours long OAO)

My dad's was like 5 minutes. It basically went.

Well uh I thought so. Don't make out with some guy in front of me.

My father basically said "Well, at least I don't have to worry about you getting pregnant," and my mother obviously wasn't pleased, but she wasn't angry either. Pretty boring family.

I did it like 6 months ago. My mother actually isn't too happy with it but she's decided I'll come to an epiphany and start liking girls so all she has to do is wait.

I chant You keep telling yourself that

But she's tolerant so it's all good. I think now she's just more freaked out I shave my legs.

My parents were pretty boring as well. I was telling them I had gone out to a bar at it slipped that I had been flirting with a guy there and had gotten his number. Their initial reaction was like, "...Huh." My mom was pretty stunned, and my dad didn't say anything because he just plain old didn't care - his approach to my sexuality has always been, "As long as you/your boyfriend are not in danger of spontaneous combustion, I don't give a damn".

I got an email from them later asking about it in more detail, presumably once my mum came out of shock (I live two provinces away from my parents so communications are generally brief), and she still seemed pleased enough, just surprised. I kind of wonder now what would have happened if I had come out the way I'd planned to - by introducing them to a boyfriend.

I was originally planning on coming out that way too.

However, once I started getting super involved with Naney, I realized that would be pretty improbable, as it would mean that he'd have to travel almost 700 miles over here just so I could introduce him to my parents. tongue

Well, It's not as if I could have done it in person either. Remember, several thousand miles away from my parents. I would have had to introduce him over skype.
