Queer Anonymous

There comes a time in every person’s life when they get a crush or, eventually, fall in love. It’s only really thought-provoking when you find yourself in a situation where you like the same sex. Every gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc. has gone through that situation where they’ll suddenly be obsessed with someone of the same sex, and if you don’t know about it being natural, it can be quite the mind-fuck.

As the juvenile 11-year-old I was, I did not know about it being natural, however, I also did not know about it being unnatural. I got into my first relationship with a girl thinking it was just another normal day, and that’s exactly why addressing LGBTQ+ related things to children is important. If one day they find themselves in that situation (and trust me not a lot of people thought like I did) then it would be so much helpful for them to know that it’s totally normal. 

And no, it does not mean they’ll become gay/lesbian, bisexual, etc. just because they know about it. If they really are gay/lesbian, bisexual, etc. then they will be because that’s just how they were born.

SO to whomever crushing on a lil’ special someone of the same sex,

Today I went to my first Queer Teens Workshop. I went with my two friends (who shall remain anonymous) so it was name to have a safe space because my anxiety can make it hard to meet new big groups of people. We started off by playing games that envolved a lot of touch - so like physically-based games - such as this game where you crawl under people, or one was this game where everyone lay on the floor and then one person lay on top of them and we had to roll them through the group, if that makes any sense. At first I didn’t understand why we did those games, but then I realized it was so that we could become more comfortable around each other. Then after we played all the games, we had a really yummy cake and talked. We talked mostly about school and LGBTQ+ situation in our schools, as well as other LGBTQ+ related topics. Lastly, we had time to just draw in silence.

I met so many wonderful people and I just really loved it. If any of you have a Queer Teens workshop near you, I would definitely recommend you go there because everyone knows how you feel at least somewhat and it really is a space where you can be comfortable and talk about you struggles and your feelings.

I hope I can attend more in the future! ❤️

And on that note, I shall end my experince. No matter what, don’t forget....

But then i type “miss me with that straight” and I get... JEANS!??!?!?!?!?

Hello there,

As everyone probably knows, people in the LGBTQI+ community tend to get hated on. Maybe it’s emotional, and maybe it’s physical. I mean, I’ve seen countless news titles and heard countless scenarios from friends where they’ve gone through something terrible just because they were gay, or transgender.

I’ve never directly been affected by such hate. I’ve felt people being awkward in my presence once knowing I liked girls, but I’ve never been hit, or called a faggot/dyke. I’ve never really experienced that first-hand hate. But I know that others do.  As I said though, I could tell people felt awkward once they knew, so I guess this is my message to those people:  As a lesbian, felt the need to address a certain situation that I know way too well. Coming out to my friends is not the hardest thing in the world for me since I like being honest and straightforward. But as I continue to do it, I realise that people’s reactions to it faze me. 

Now this is not an issue for me at current. I’ve come out to most of my grade, and those who I haven’t come out to just don’t know me, but if they were to then I would obviously tell them. I was able to find a group of people that were either part of the LGBTQ+ community as well or were able to treat me like the normal human being I am. But not everyone is able to do that and that is why I am typing this shit up.

For all of you people who have had someone come out to you, do not treat them any differently once they have come out to you. Do not react in a strange or silent way. Be supportive. Even a simple smile as a response is better than an “oh ok”. Because even though we do not want to trouble you, it can be so hard to be part of the LGBTQ+ community at times, and knowing people are there for you and accept you and don’t treat you differently for your sexuality or gender can make everything feel a lot better.

Hello there,

As some of you might already know, the world of queer is extremely complicated. But it doesn’t have to be?  I guess, this blog is a place where I can share yours and my own experiences in the world of the LGBTQI+ community, so if you’ve got anything, please send it to me. c:

I am bi-romantic and demi-homosexual. As for my gender, I’m not quite sure. Which is, I guess, why I have this blog. I can write about my experiences and hope that I’ll find my gender. And it’s also a place for you to find your gender and sexuality too, if that’s something you’re trying to find. 

I’ll also add in the occasional queer meme because everyone needs those.
