This is Luceira, my beautiful ace rep dragon!!
I don't have specific lore written for most of my dragons yet, but I always say "all my characters are bi unless explicitly stated otherwise" haha
Anyway, I'd like to enter the raffle!
I'm bi ace, heck yeah heck yeah. I knew I was ace since I was 13, and people constantly told me I was a late bloomer and I'd grow out of it. But here I am, mid-20s, married, and still ace sooooooooooooooooo [big shrug]
I also knew I was bi/pan since I was 13. A friend confessed to me and I was like oh crap oh dang oh no I like her too [emoji=gaoler scared size=2] i grew up in a very conservative community and never had even considered the possibility of liking other girls. It took a long time for me to really accept it, but I had joined tumblr when I was 14 or 15 and it's where I really learned to embrace being bi. It's also where I had the opportunity to be around people with much different views than I had grown up around, so I learned more and more about various marginalized communities, some of which I'm a part of and some I'm not. The rise in popularity of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020 was a HUGE catalyst in me learning more about systemic inequality, so I'm extremely grateful to all the patient POC out there who take the time and energy to help educate people like me. At the last convention I attended, I bought a piece of hand-drawn art that said Black Lives Matter on it, as well as the Philly pride flag. I love solidarity and learning about intersectionality!
Thank you for hosting this raffle :)
Being trans is beautiful and the people who blocked you lost something important when they did so. I hope you find many more friends who respect you and love you for who you are!

I want to enter, not cause I want to win, but because I'd like the hateful people to block me too. I feel like it will improve my experience of FR. :)
This will probably be long, because I've never written down these thoughts before.
My name is Shegrasi. I was an adult already by the time I learned of the Queer community, and back then "gay" was still an insult. Since my family is Christian Baptist by tradition, I fought very hard against my feelings and even tried to "pray them away", if only so as not to disappoint my family.
Obviously, that didn't work, and I feel into severe depression thinking I would never be the child my parents hoped I would be, and that I was just a burden for everyone I loved. My mom seemed to hurt the most seeing me in that state, and was the one who eventually pressured me into seeing a therapist. We discovered when I was 23 that I'm Autistic, and while that explained so many struggles I'd had since childhood, it didn't explain all of them.
Still feeling lost, but more hopeful after the diagnosis, I turned to researching on my own on the Internet, where I discovered the Ace community. The label didn't fit perfectly, but it helped just knowing there were others who didn't fit into the expectations of previous generations. With this, I was able to overcome the worst of my depression and anxiety and start making progress towards being independent.
Being more independent meant being more social, and meeting more people came with discovering that I was definitely NOT Ace; at least, not in the way that I thought. For me, crushes mostly developed after someone had done something kind for me, and had little to nothing to do with their looks. At this point, I still had not developed feelings for anyone of the opposite ASAB, and struggled with the label "Gay".
Cue internalized homophobia and denial. That didn't last long though, as being Autistic generally means leaning more towards logic than social expectations. I consoled myself with the thought that just because I had these feelings didn't mean I had to act on them. If I could deny myself chocolate cake at 3 in the morning, surely I could avoid interacting with anyone I had a crush on. The real struggle came with realizing I'd be lying by omission if I never came out to my parents, who I loved very much and had never hidden anything from before this.
They struggled quite a lot with the revelation, and avoided the subject for the longest time. That's about the time I met my current partner. She is lovely and kind and clever, and Autistic.
We fit together like two peas in a pod and I'd never felt so at peace. My journey wasn't over though.
I spent the next two years continuing to compare my experience to others', digging up all the hidden memories I'd suppressed in my need to be accepted and "normal". Talking these feelings over with my partner helped me come to a conclusion that seems painfully obvious in retrospect; I'm transgender! Since then, I've been taking steps to improve my quality of life through self-expression and have never been happier. I've even recently discovered the term "Demiboy" and feel like I've nailed down everything about my life experience in one word.
My parents are working on their own journeys together, and they have since become very accepting. My dad even admitted to being bisexual!
My Love and I are expecting our firstborn later this year, and while the struggles to get to this point were decidedly NOT fun, I couldn't be happier with where I've ended up, and who I get to share my life with now. : >

First of all, I am really sorry to hear that happened and is still happening. I've always viewed the FR community as very LGBTQ friendly so that is very disheartening. But, luckily, that is still a small dent in the positivity and excitement that this update has brought and I hope to see more of it <3
I do not have any buttons since I like the look of a bare signature, but I am planning on getting a rainbow vista and have many dragons who are LGBTQ! Pronouns are in their broadcast messages! One of my favorites is this boy who is the epitome of gayness and has been with me since the start of my account

I am an ally and my friend pool growing up has been 90% LGBTQ so I've gotten to know a lot about the community through them and the online communities I've seen as a result!

@Lisek: I didn't know that pride vistas existed and that makes me so glad!
But I am so sorry that there are hateful and bigoted people in the world.
I don't want (or rather - can't fit) more dragons right now, but wanted to share some of my dragons that show my pride as a queer woman (and my allyship to other members of our community).
Khayyam is my bisexual pride dragon:
