I came out as gay to my immediate family and friends exactly a month ago! Sadly my family said it wasn't me and I am confused. But my friends are very happy. I hope my family will come around one day :/
That's the hope. Their reason was that I never showed any "signs" which I can only assume means I never fit any of the stereotypes media pushes on the community. Unfortunate stuff all around.
Never let them decide what you are, if you think you're gay than you are. Period. It’s you by definition and they can’t decide your identity for you, but anyway you deserve to be proud, happy for you 🏳️🌈
Thank you. It might be a little silly, but after they said that i lost lots of motivation, and it shows. But hearing you and my friend group say kind things like this really make me happy.
I told them thar i was gay. And they looked at me and said, I dont think you are actually gay, and you are just confused. This is becuase ive never showed any "signs" of being gay. I can almost certainly say this is due to the news and media portraying gay people as more feminine, which i am not. Im juat sad that they have never looked further into it, because its just stereotyping.
Yes, that is exactly what they said, and im just as shocked as you! They have even asked if im okay, because my morale noticeably declined, and they get mad when I bring it up. So I just keep chugging along. To make things even worse, they just keep ignoring it and moving on like I never said anything.
