Wow. She is a better person than me - I have dropped friends and family for lesser offenses than not accepting me for who I am like that. She has the patience of a saint as does her partner. I pray her family comes around to see what they are missing
I too went through a long and difficult period of being accepted by my family. We must live our lives with truth. In time my family have come to terms with my lifestyle and my partner. Thank you for sharing your story.
What a beautiful, strong young woman , unfortunately cultural issues are so deeply imbedded for some people that can be the most difficult part of living your authentic life and truly be yourself and comfortable in your own skin especially when culturally you are taught from your infancy that certain things are wrong and that is often the most difficult thing for parents it’s not that they don’t love you it’s ingrained in them so it often takes them a long time to accept your life, if they ever do or are ever able to accept 😥❤️❤️
This is just life. Suffering builds character. Her parents have a culture that is like an iron rod. Just the way it is. She seems to be a level headed person. I’m glad
At no point in this video did she say that she is "queer." ImFromDriftwwod has no right to call a lesbian "queer" unless she herself assumes that problematic label. Fortunately, every survey of LGB people on this issue shows that they reject it by rates of 94-99%.
I know that "queer" used to be used in a negative way, but most of the younger folks own the label proudly. At least 3 in my family happily identify as "queer." I could be mistaken, but I think the people in these videos approved the titles. It's nice that you care. Have a blessed day! 🙏❤️🏳️🌈
@@missnaomi613 Unfortunately, you are very misinformed. The overwhelming majority of LGB youth reject the "queer" label, as do the vast majority of LGB adults. According to a study in the Journal of Research on Adolescence, 99.3% of gay/bi boys (13-18) and 97.2% of lesbian/bi girls do not identify as "queer." Every other survey on this question of both youth and adults yields similar results. LGB people, both young and old, overwhelmingly do not call themselves "queer" and ImFromDriftwood is being disrespectful by calling this Iraqi woman "queer" without her consent.
@@jasonthewatchmansson8873 I hear you. If you're concerned about showing respect, I recommend using the official acronym LGBT, or LGBT+. Leaving out the T denies the transgender folks and their contribution to history. And looking up facts from sources that use our full acronym might yield different results. 🤷 May we all continue to increase our knowledge and understanding. 🙏❤️
@@missnaomi613 All of the surveys referenced above - with which you are clearly not familiar - include trans people and the result does not change. Moreover, the woman in the video above is not transgender, and so the statistics regarding trans people and the "queer" label are not relevant in this context. What is relevant is that there is no indication that she identifies as queer and the vast majority of lesbian and bi women reject that label. Finally, "LGBT" is neither an acronym nor "official." Do the work to educate yourself and be a better, less homophobic person. Thanks!
@@jasonthewatchmansson8873 I can only speak from personal experience, but in the LGBT+ community center I attend, almost everyone there calls themselves queer. My college also had a “queer resource center” and most identified as queer. I understand individuals opposition to the word, but I do love it to describe myself and I really think it’s pretty common in my area.
Honesty with who you are and courage to live your life is what I see. Cowards run in crowds and stay terrified of mommy and daddy even as adults. To me that’s a sad way to live

I must be confused.
Alaa - it is a female name not very common but it is not Allah the CC just is not familiar with non-English names lol

Self indulgence at its best
