I realized I was gay when I was young, only 13. My identity has been through many ups and downs through the years and unfortunately I'm still kind of confused at 19 haha. Being attracted to girls is one thing I've never doubted though. Dunno what labels I would settle with anymore ngl :P A lot of my friends are LGBT but I've never been very active in the community.

@mettatonneo i saw on your sig that you're russian, do you live in the country? i'm in america but my whole family is russian, my parents are accepting of me but my grandfather refuses to speak to me now that i'm out as gay and trans. i'm sorry you have violetn and homophobic parents, no one should have to go through that!

@lnception - not currently, thank god!! it's crazy back there, with over half the population considering it a crime punishable by jailtime and psychiatrists classifying it as a mental illness in some parts. i've moved to canada, but sadly enough my parents haven't let go of their old mentality.
i'm sorry about your grandfather. :c but i'm super glad to hear your parents are accepting!!! that's awesome and super lucky!!
even though i live in canada which is overwhelmingly supporting for LGBTQ+, i feel like i'm back in russia with the way my parents act LOL

Ace female here! It took me a long time to come to grips with the fact that I didn't want a sexual relationship, even though in high school sexual relationships were emphasized. I was confused for much of my freshman year, but I've recently accepted my sexuality and it's been quite a positive change. I'm still hiding my sexuality because I don't know if my family will understand and accept the fact that I'm asexual, but someday I'll have the courage to introduce them to my sexuality.
I love this thread and the positivity surrounding it, and I'd just like to send out my sincerest apologies to everyone impacted by the Orlando shooting. Such a tragedy should never have happened, and it angers me to see these hate crimes being committed against LGBTQ+ individuals. Please stay safe.

@mettatonneo oh yeah, I haven't been back since 2010 and I have no plans to go back anytime soon. I have a penpal over in Moscow who's a trans guy, and he's so afraid to come out to his parents. I started testosterone a couple weeks ago, and my friend doesn't even think he'll be able to start by age 25. It's sickening to see Russia be such an unnaccepting place.
I'm sorry to hear about your parents though, I don't know what I would do if I lived with people who didn't accept me.

Asexual Panromantic Agender here~ I accidentally come out constantly, the puns and jokes are too tempting.
My grandma accepts the whole pan part but doesn't get the Asexual part, so I am definitely not going to tell her the Agender part. My mom on the other hand, is really accepting. She knows everything and actually believes I'm Ace and such, thankfully. Most of my friend group is Bi so it's fun to point out attractive people with each other and crack jokes we all understand. I've also got a fellow Ace friend, although she isn't quite sure if she's Asexual or Grey-Asexual. I usually refer to us as the GrAce and Ace~
edit: I usually end up coming out by saying "that line is as straight as I am" (and it's like incredibly curved and everything}
"I can only draw as straight as I am!" (I can't draw straight lines)
etc.

Hi! owo/
I'm a biromantic demisexual.
I came upon this revelation when I had a crush on one of my best friends who is of the same gender as me. At first I thought it was just because we were really close, but looking back on my previous experiences, I realized I had an attraction for both men and women. Unfortunately i haven't come out to anyone outside the Internet and I don't plan to until I move out of my hometown. I'm pretty sure my parents would support me, but people around the community have told me bi people are just confused/not real right to my face when I considered coming out since the person who said this is a lesbian and I thought she'd understand. Soooo yeahhhhh.

Agender bi/aro here!
I get attracted to both sexes but the idea of being in a romantic relationship scares me. I don't want to be in one, ever. I'm agender because I don't feel like I fit in both of the sexes, and I would love to have no sex organs. I haven't came put to my parents for fear of what they'll say and do. They'd probably start telling everyone in my family - cousins and all that. I did come out to my younger sister, some close friends, and of course, the ones reading this right now. Once in a while my bisexuality whacks me when I see someone I consider attractive... but of course, no romantic feelings!
I remember back then when I was a first grader (around 6 years old). I was a really gay kid and I didn't even know it.

Hey, I'm a bisexual/biromantic, cis, Candian teen who loves music and art and helping people with problems, Im also kinda really good at starting them too.
My story is really short. Pretty much I've told a bunch of my friends, found out one of my best friends is bisexual/biromantic and then told my parents. Thats it

I'm a trans boy with no proper label to my sexual orientation because it's so weird.
My mother is the only one who supports me, the rest of my family has been cut off from my life due to their abusive behaviors and actions.
I've so far gotten my name legally changed; Started on hormones ( been on T for 8 months ) ; Had a breast reduction surgery; am in the process of changing my gender on my legal documents; and am getting ready for top surgery.
I'm also in speech pathology because I can't work my new deep voice right and it squeaks a lot.
I've known since I was 5-6 years old but i'd never heard of the term transgender- heck back then i didn't know anything about gay or lesbian people either. I tried to figure out *** I was feeling and why, but I just got told by everyone that I was just a tomboy and would grow out of it.
17 years later, haven't grown out of it ^^;
Fun fact; my cat Malik is gay. He tried real hard to 'love' the other ginger cat we had.
