I would suggest going super gay. I'm not trolling honestly. Give it a think anyways, keep your mind open. Change it up.
Just deciding to be gay all of a sudden isn’t a thing, and right wingers use this misunderstanding to advance bigotry and restrict rights.
Yeah that's clearly me check my profile. I say a lot of things without thinking and this is a bit new to me so I will be more mindful. I do think that not being able to joke about things causes a lot of division in itself.
Thank you for your answer and I'm glad you found peace in discovering your sexuality but I'm afraid "try being gay" doesn't really help lol
Aww c’mon . . . All the cool kids are doing it!
Thank you and good luck :)
As a very gay person, it doesn’t help
I’m constantly fighting suicide
I'm sorry to hear that. I just recently came to this realization myself and I have been really ecstatic as things have been falling into place that I have been dealing with for a very long time. I apologize if I said something dumb. Love and light to you <3
It's very subjective, don't worry :)
I, too, was very very happy to fully come out of the closet and live openly as a queer person. It just depends on a lot of other factors as far as maintaining the optimism!
Thank you, yes I suppose that is true for most things and I really need to keep that in mind. I have a real problem with that sort of thinking sometimes as a neurodivergent person. There is a lot of grief that came with the realization too, but overall I just feel such a weight off my back. I hope I can better learn to support other people with their struggles now.

It was just a clumsy way of explaining how they feel personally after coming out of the closet. I don't think they meant offense.
Yes thank you. I really don't have a place to share my joy irl, I will use the more appropriate comms here for this sorry. To be honest my main problem is not taking anything too seriously, which I also count as a strength, so I joke about things that maybe I shouldn't. I thought it is clear but I guess it's hard to tell in text. I don't think it's necessary to point it out every time as it is just causing more division when you can't even joke about things? I dunno.
