is weird

(btw, using "gay" as an umbrella term c:)

Like some people I come out to I'm like "yeah so I was talking to my girlfriend and-"

Others it's like

"i need to tell you something."

"what?"

"not here. not with other people."

"is it bad?"

"kinda."

"are you pregnant?"

"uh"

"oh my god ana why didn't you use a condom?!"

"I'M GAY." "I AM GAY."

"...that is so much worse."

Actually thankfully I've never had anyone react unkindly to that?

Like no one has ever treated me differently

My parents would disown me

Like literally, my mom said she would disown me

But all she owns is a couple of books and a computer

I'm more worried about never having my kids have grandparents :(

Anyway, other people it's like

"so i am bi"

"i am also bi"

"wow we are both bi"

"okay bye"

"bye"

And with others it's just

A general knowledge

That we are all simultaneously something other than hetero.

We don't ask

We don't need to

We just know

Honestly i know 0 gay couples because well everyone who is gay is friends with each other right

That's how you find out they're gay in the first place

So if someone gay likes another gay

It is 70% likely it's going to be with a friend of theirs

So essentially everyone is in unrequited love, and it's all quite sad, but we can all relate to one another.

My "coming out" experience was so weird

I think I came out to myself

And I was so okay with it? And my best friend was freaking out cuz they were like, "YOU'RE NOT THINKING CLEARLY! YOU HAVE BEEN BI FOR .7 SECONDS AND YOU ALREADY HAVE A GIRLFRIEND" "THIS IS MADNESS"

but like i slay.

I hear all these dramatic, scary stories about coming out and here i am

not in the closet and not out of it

Also something weird? My parents conditioned me to be very anti-gay so until about the age of ten i was like very "homophobic"

Once i sang "i kissed a girl"

And my dad

Got so

Angry

So i assumed that kissing girls was terrible

Little did I knew that he was making me perpetuate a negative atmosphere for lgbt+ teens everywhere! :D

I don't even remember learning that gay was okay

I just remember being severely uncomfortable with any same-sex activities

It honestly scared me, I don't know why

Probably because homosexuality has always been fetishized :(

Have i mentioned how much i want a gay disney movie? HAVE I MENTIONED???? HOW MUCH? OR A TRANS DISNEY PRINCESS? BYEEEE

The first time I ever heard lesbian, i was in the fourth grade and everyone gasped and fell silent

Because it was a terrible sexual sin

But then again, I thought that sex was literally rubbing your epidermis to another person's until the friction caused spontaneous cell division.

I was a cute child.

Also shout out to all the aces! Even you lil het babies, you deserve to be just as proud of your orientation as we should be :D u guys are just as cool

If a gay person says something insulting towards you bc you're cishet

Fight them i will back u

Anyway, in conclusion, being gay is weird
