So I saw we lacked one of these and I thought it would be a nice addition to the site.

Let's here talk, share stories and bring up other nice things about us who like people of our own gender, both genders, identify as the opposite gender or any other traits of ourselves and/or our friends who fit under the LGBTQ banner.

Well...I'm a bisexual female who hasn't came out to my family yet. Of course, knowing them...they could care less.

 

But, still my best friend in the entire world is also bisexual, so I notice an increase in that sexuality.

 

 

But, no matter the sexuality...if someone treats me with respect...I'll treat them with respect.

I'm a FTM trans person.  I'm actually in the transition process right now and I would love people to be a little more supportive in my life. Sometimes I feel like my family couldn't care less.  Anyway, I saw the thread you made recently in which you thought people weren't nice enough to LGBT people in the forum.  I really like this idea of creating an awareness thread to combat this :)

 

I have a friend who's lesbian also, but I don't get along too well with her now.  It's not because of her orientation, it's because she was way too controlling.  

 

I have a great deal of respect for LGBT people though because they are able to be themselves even when the rest of the world doesn't want them to.

The debate pit is an odd place to put this thread if we want appreciation.

Anyway, I'm genderqueer and pansexual. Let's have the most fabulous thread ever!

Here are some LGBT Youtube channels I'm subscribed to, thought I'd share them:

I don't really care much about sexual orientation since I don't judge anyone. If you respect me, then I'll respect you plain and simple.

I also do not agree with this being in the debate pit. Nothing wrong with appreciating this. :D

 

Also, Bi pride! I actually recently came out to my family about me being Bi and they apparently are fine with it, so yay. Society just needs to becoming more accepting of this, given how accepting it is to other things. I am willing to accept someone if they are different to me, I hope society can do the same.

Since I'm pansexual, myself, I guess I'll post here.

 

So yeah, I'm a pansexual male, I find gender to be trivial when it comes to love. I still haven't came out in real life, and I want to. But I'm somewhat afraid that if I do, people will dislike me for it. I am especially scared that if I did come out, my dad would like me less. He dislikes anything LGBT.

I respect LGBT people, I know what they're going through and that's why I respect them. As long as people respect me I shall respect them. I like being able to just be myself which is why I like the forum and I feel that LGBT people should be able to do the same.

I myself I'm bi, I always end up confusing myself so one day I'm that, the other I'm something else.

My sexuality is really complicated, I'd probably be closest to a gray-a. I experience sexual attentions but not very often. It's much more common for me to experience aesthetic attractions, and towards both sexes. I'm agender, I find the idea of having to identify with a gender really restricting. I share traits from both genders but I feel much more comfortable not identifying with either. IRL, I'm very secretive about my sexuality and gender identity. I don't want to tell my parents either.

I'm not LGBT, but I don't have a problem with them. I haven't seen anyone on here be mean to LGBT people. This is honestly the most tolerant community I've ever seen.

I'm bisexual myself, but I recently started to accept myself. I used to think of myself as kind of straight with a bit of gay thoughts, but ai just thought I've go ahead and just call myself bi, which is kind of the truth.

 

Even before then, I accepted people for who they are, and still do. Just don't act like a dick towards me and I'll respect you. :3

I'm not all that familiar with the other LGBTQ in my current area, unfortunately.  I do still have a friend from high school though(she's MTF) that I miss being able to hang out with due to distance.  Alas...

Straight dude here, but my fiance and I are marchin' this long road against bigotry right there with ya.

I have. Among other groups. Bigotry's in this community just as any other.

I'm not LGBT, but I'm a very strong, vocal, proud, and loud LGBT ally. Throughout my history when it comes to LGBT discussion, I have posted very bluntly in support of LGBT rights like same-sex marriage, LGBT rights in general, LGBT equality around the world, and the outright pleasure of voicing my disgust for reparative therapy. If there's a discussion for LGBT rights and equality, I look at it and may consider posting in it.

I myself am straight, but I am good friends with lots of LGBT people. A lot of my friends came out during high school. I actually got into fights with some bullies over it.

 

Back in the day one of my very close friends came out that he was a MTF. A didn't know what to think, but after a while I came around. I personally have trouble with the concept, but we're friends and I care about him a lot. And yes, he hates when I use male pronouns but it's hard to switch after knowing him for nine years. Don't get me wrong, but I still feel like he's a guy even if I know I shouldn't. He actually got a couple surgeries the summer he turned eighteen. He has a boyfriend right now who I'm also friends with.

Personally not one for labels, though I understand how they can create better ease for things, which is why I still use them. You could call me queer, or bisexual, since my attraction is based more on familiarity rather than what I am attracted to, and what I'm not. Technically, I have the "choice" to go whichever way I want, and I prefer men. I like the idea of having a boyfriend, and romantic thoughts about it often give me goosebumps in the good sense. >.<

 

That said, I have been pretty genderqueer throughout my life, though I guess you could say I am male because of my liking towards the "gay lifestyle." I usually always present myself masculinely, having stubble, though I wish I had full facial hair, then I would rock that stubble all the time. :D

I'm bisexual, (pansexual would also be accurate, but I prefer bi) I've only been identifying as such for not much more than a few weeks. I haven't told many people, I've only mentioned it on this and another forum. I haven't been hiding it, but it still makes me a little nervous to talk about it.

 

Obviously I'm very supportive of LGBT stuff.

I'm homosexual which is probably quite evident if you've ever spoken to me but I'm slightly panromantic. I'm open to falling in love with a woman but I won't actively seek it out. I also hate my gender and would like to change it but that will never happen for me. Too much money and work and I'm afraid of what would happen with family and friends.

I'm straight, but i don't disrespect other orientations. I have no reason to in my honest opinion. I've know some nice dudes who are LGBT and same with girls.

 

They're not super common here, but I still don't judge people based on it.

 

And i am not against LGBT.

 

I am however personally straight atleast in this point and time.

I am in what could sometimes be called an at times uncomfortable position for me.

 

On the one hand, a very dear friend of mine is homosexual and I have another friend that is transgender... yet on the other hand I am LDS and believe very strongly in The Family: A Proclamation to the World.

 

As my friend puts it I'm in a position where I'm neither fully an Ally nor can I be called an Enemy.

 

One thing I can say is though I cannot agree with the paths many of the LGBT have taken... I will still treat them with respect and dignity, that I will neither attack them or treat them with harmful intent.

 

So yes my situation is complicated, and I sometimes feel pulled between pleasing those around me and standing up for what I know to be true.

 

In truth, The Family: A Proclamation to the World is a very positive statement... but it does mean those of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints cannot support homosexual marriage and adoption nor the idea that one can be of the incorrect gender.

I think he was just posting it to show that he didn't make up any of his information. While it is against LGBT in some forms, you can't just ignore the fact that it exists.

 

I'd like to ask you, EquestrianScholar, about the incorrect gender. What about if you believe that your gender is correct but you just don't feel comfortable in that gender? I see that there are no specific answers or references to anything on that link and it appears quite vague and open to interpretation.
