      I think the reason there are coming out stories is because a lot of the world is still anti lgbtq+.. People are still forced into closets due to fear of death, banishment, and beatings.. And coming out stories allow those people that live in fear know that what they feel isnt odd or worrisome. That its normal to feel a certain way. But.. To each is own.. And pray for those that cannot come out.. And love those that do.. Thats all we can do.

      2) "... *justify it* ..."? Nobody's sexuality is being "justified", it just *is* . Why do you have a problem with it? Why do you care who people you don't even know are attracted to or fall in love with?
      3) How do *you* "try and justify" your antipathy toward LGB people? I'll bet I could come up with arguments comparing *your* reasons to things that are universally disapproved of...like hate, depriving people of their right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, etc.

    I honestly get annoyed by people telling celebrities/influencers they are “gay” when they’ve never come out, or are constantly questioning their sexuality. People do this with Shawn Mendes and always call him gay, despite him saying he is straight. But even if he wasnt straight, it’s annoying to push a sexuality on someone.

      Plus, in cases like hers, I would think it’s a little embarrassing that someone might’ve realized that before you did. There was a guy in our high school, who has just recently, years later, come to accept that he’s gay. Though no one except his closest friends ever explicitly asked him (he always denied it, and apparently believed it himself), virtually everyone confidently assumed he was gay. Granted, my school was not a very accepting one, and his parents are extremely conservative and religious, so I understand the denial. But I can’t help but wonder how traumatizing that must have been to be the last person to reach that conclusion, even if the student body was unjustified in making that assumption.

I'm not going to say that I knew Rachel was gay, but, there were a couple of stereo typical signs that I had a thought that she might be. But there are also so many spectrums of the LGBTQ +s . My daughter is bisexual my niece is bisexual and I have another niece that is transgender. They all had to find out for themselves on their own time and I was just here when they needed to talk to someone.

      @PandoraxBox 3 года назад +1

      I think that’s such a sensitive touchy topic. I had a best friend who just idek why but he made my gay senses ring so bad. I don’t have any problem with him doing or loving what/who he wants. I just want him to be happy and I loved him for who he was as a person.
      Everyone else must have felt his gay presence too, though.... I guess, because he actually was kinda bullied for it by some stupid homophobic classmates. Plus he’s kinda religious (just so you have some background on why that’s probably a sensitive topic to him)
      Anyway, years later I told my ex bf that I feel like he’s gay so he doesn’t worry because in his opinion men and women can’t just be friends. But he still was so concerned that he texted my friend and asked him directly without much introduction and that made him upset. Now he doesn’t want anything to do with me because my now ex- boyfriend wasn’t very empathetic towards him. And since my ex didn’t really tell my anything besides that they texted and he asked if he was gay, I assumed that he eased the question into the conversation but nope, he did not.
      Not knowing what actually was said, I told my former friend that I think it is fine to ask him if he is gay so I guess he assumed that I thought the way my ex asked seemed good to me (which of course no bc I know that that’s not an easy topic for him). And basically now we’re not friends anymore bc of that.
      Still don’t know how to feel about this whole story because it seems to be a big misunderstanding and I can’t change what my ex said. And since there is more history with me and said friend (let’s just say he once said something really unforgivable to me and I still forgave him after a few years eventhough he never apologised) I don’t feel like I should apologise for something I didn’t do bc to me it feels like my former friend can’t separate my ex and me. I wonder if I’m being stubborn bc of the fact that my former friend didn’t apologise when he had to or if it really isn’t my time to apologise bc this bs behaviour didn’t come from me but from my ex.
      I hope this made sense 😬😅
      Can someone give me more perspective and maybe some advice on this whole situation?

      @Taylor Parker it's invaliding cause coming out can be terrifying and a huge struggle to finally do it, there's alot of different emotions, each person has different feelings and reactions when coming out. When finally getting the courage to come out people going "We knew" is just ignoring the person strength, emotions and vulnerability of finally being able to come out. They are being dismissive instead of empathic. Also people don't have any right to tell anyone they are gay since some people may not be ready to look at that, some hate labels and we can't tell anyone what there sexuality the person has to figure it out themselves without the pressure from others rushing them on coming out.

    My husband and I are raising our son to know that if he were gay, he could come out in a way that isn't out of fear or obligation to announce his sexuality. It will never have to be a "thing" with us. Just as straight people get to do, he could walk into our home one day and say "oh I like this guy" and we'll be like "oh cool, invite him over sometime" and that be it.

    I love how natural it was for you to tell your friends and family!! That's how it should be! I hope that more people in the world can have a similar experience filled with love!

    I feel like I relate a little to this story, cause when I realized I was bisexual, I told my dad and my brother when it just came up in conversation, and they were just like "okay cool, anyways" like it wasn't that big of a deal and I'm happy that I didn't lose people to that fact

    I love you Rachel. I'm so happy that you were not worried about being pushed away and that you are surrounded by people that love you for you. This makes me so hopeful for future people that come out that they will be surrounded with love and acceptance as they should be.

    I'm bisexual and I feel the same way, I don't want it to be a big thing. Sadly the world has not caught up and we LGBTQ+ people still have to come out.

    I’m so happy for you. It’s comforting to know that some people have good experiences. A lot of our stories aren’t as perfect as yours but it’s genuinely heart warming to see you being so accepted and loved. Thank you for such amazing content💗

    "Hey, I'm gay." "Mkay, cool. What are you gonna do about it?" "I dunno. Just be gay."
    Best thing I've heard all day. XD

    My mom was just in my room and she was telling me how I needed to straighten up things. (Like my blinds were crooked, the bed spread was wrinkled, etc) and she said “nothing in this room is straight” so I added “including me.”

    We knew but its also not our place to tell others! Love this story it’s so just is. It’s completely you! Chill. No drama. No big todo. Just it is what is. Thank you for sharing your story. I have always known I was bisexual but just recently accepted myself.
