“Are you gay or straight?” ***Im worst*** -Brandon Rogers

This I fully agree with my teacher said it takes time so don't worry about it too much you will find out eventually

Same ive always felt like i had to put a label on it but these types of videos help me realize i dont need to if i dont want to

@ville__ It really isn’t. I cannot speak for everyone, though through my (and many others’) experience, it has never been a choice. I’m not gay, though I’ve been attracted to many different people throughout my life, regardless of their gender. For example, my first crush was my (at the time) best friend who was a girl (I’d like to add the context that during this time I was often seen as a girl also, despite feeling differently). We haven’t been in contact for a long time, though I still remember the times back in elementary school where I’d do anything to make her smile, sending butterflies into my stomach. And while those feelings are not caught by choice, I suppose being in a relationship with someone of the same gender is. TLDR, the feelings caught are not by choice, though I guess you can say that willingly dating someone despite being the same gender is an option. (Just want to add rq that if I sound rude in this reply, I don’t mean to. I’m just sharing my thoughts and such)

this is a concept i love so much. but sadly it only exists in extremely open minded families and places, where the child already knows the parents don't need them to come out, and will accept them regardless of who they are and who they love. i often feel like gender and sexuality is too culturally integrated into who a person is. i'm a bisexual trans man, but i'm still the same person as i was when i was a 12 year old, still wondering whether the gender i was assigned is the right thing for me, just matured into who i was always meant to be.

I feel the same

My whole class but not me r saying : ur gay I rlly don’t like the fact that there using that and to girl they use ur lesbian They wanna only cool cuz in my county it’s cool to vape and bully ppl with gay or lesbian If someone askes me do u like that boy I say: no I’m bi and I’m with a girl Than they say: eww just admit your lesbian it’s so gross your gross And that kinda hurts me and I’m glad ppl in this chat r not homofobic atleast I hope so

@ville__ So is being a homophobe. Read a science book and educate yourself on the facts about gender and sexuality. The more you know 💫

This is what I hope for the future as well. I think to get there though, more and more of us need to keep coming out publicly - but only those who feel comfortable and safe doing so of course! The more people who can say “I know someone who is queer and they’re ok”, the more the collective thinking of our societies will change. We need numbers. With numbers comes greater visibility, understanding, and acceptance. And with that comes greater influence and power to change legislation and increase freedoms. And here’s the thing. Bisexuals and unlabelled folks in particular could be instrumental in bringing about this change. Statistically, we far outnumber gays, lesbians, trans, etc. combined. Yet we tend to be far more closeted. Many of us are in straight-facing relationships, enjoying the privileges of passing in a cis-het world. If we started a grass-roots effort to encourage and support bisexuals and unlabelled people to come out, I think we would be amazed at how quickly queerness would be normalized. We would be well on our way to a world where labels and coming out are a thing of the past.

Btw, I feel like I need to note that the original was written by John on the Thomas Sanders (or the Thomas Sanders and friends, I'm not sure) channel on video "sing it" or something similar. The original song can also be found if you RU-vid "I'm gay, Thomas Sanders"... I just modified the second verse

Does anyone ever ask if you're gay or queer though?(like this is a real question though) Plus, I would think to myself at least in the modern day and times they would not care to ask in the slightest bit because, one it truly doesn't matter and two most people are way too preoccupied to be worried about that.

@@For_The-namesakesnake Not OP but I do have people ask this, and a lot of my queer (and even cis/straight) friends get that question a lot, too. People care more than you think! More than I used to think as well 😅

@@For_The-namesakesnake I dont get out much anymore but back when I did, oh yeah absolutely, I think its a combo of general curiosity, leading into the pronouns question (more people care about others pronouns than bigots would let on), and wanting to know if you're safe, if you're compatible with them or their friends (and if they can hook you up with said friends lol), and some folks unfortunately care because they are bigots, and the more they know the more targeted their abuse is.

Is this a compliment or what? Im sorry im horrible at telling these sort of things 😭😭

@@brídeann I meant it like a compliment lol

@@nunya2587 oh good lol. sorry I’m horrible at this 😭

I usually refer to myself as bi when speaking or bi/pan when writing but I also use queer a lot. I haven’t really figured out if bi or pan fits better for me so I like the vagueness of queer. I can just be me, and like who I like, and focus less on trying to figure out which label applies. 😊

warby Parker, it’s linked in my bio

thank you you look stunnimg btw@@FredericChen

Frrrrr i say this all the time

so u basically implied that all queer people are pedos like dream ? yta brooo

Oh I love this perspective

Kids are mean tbh, they'll legit find any word to use to hurt others, some immature adults as well Growing up, "lesbian" was used as an insult against me so 😅

They do I just have good lighting so it doesn’t reflect

Ok, thank you
