Are your friends part of the LGBT+ community?

To be honest, my friends at school just feel super fake as it is, but the people im around, two of them are Bi, and are dating eachother. Outside of school is where I have some friends, 3 of which I understand are apart of the community in some forms.

 

A few. A transgender and asexual and both part of my inner friend circle.

Weird thing though, half the kids at the anime club at my school are LGBT and they both are from anime club with me.

 

There's quite a few people at my school who are, but only 2 that I would say are my friends.

 

4 of my closest friends (2 from secondary and another 2 from uni) are but most of the people I hangout with are straight. They don't really care about my sexuality. It isn't really an issue.

 

No. Just allies.

 

No. All my friends are straight.

 

Some are, and some aren't. A few are LGBT, or suspected of being, but aren't involved. Most, if not all, are accepting, at least (if they were openly bigoted, they wouldn't be friends).

Couldn't imagine having a homogeneous group.

 

My friend pool has probably a 6-1 ratio of gay to straight people. The Gay Clumping Factor is in full force - mysteriously, even the friends I make who I think are straight turn out, given time, to also be gay!

At this point I'm just convinced that everything I touch gets a serious case of the queer, or that I've got a magnetic force that draws every gay person with similar interests in my direction. It's uncanny.

I'm the only gender variant person in my immediate proximity group of friends, although my closest long-distance friend is trans, so there's that!

 

Zero :icon_sad:

 

Most, lol.

Most of the girls in my immediate high school friend-group have since revealed themselves as at least bi-curious.

The first two friends I made in university—who remain very close friends to this day—are gay.

Since then I tend to make friends with gay people. I have no idea what the fuck why. Maybe it's friendship-gaydar, maybe gay people tend to do/like similar things, although all my friends and I have vastly different hobbies... And no, we do not all date each other even though we're all women who love women (crazy, right?). xD

I wear a rainbow bracelet so maybe all the gays see that and flock to me.

 

Like 3... one gay guy - my best friend, one bi girl, one girl who hasn't really said what the heck she is but is dating the bi one.

 

Nah. All my friends are straight. That's probably why I still hang around here. Sometimes I just need to talk about gay shit and there is only so much gay shit I can put my straight friends through

 

most of my friends are straight. my best friend is bisexual, but is dating a guy now. another good friend of mine, grew up know alot of gay people and with a dad very pro LGBT and is very open to the LGBT. He's pretty big and strong and its nice to think that he would kick some ass for me if I was being bothered by some homophobes.

 

I actually don't have any close straight friends anymore? One's bi, another is asexual, and the last is trans/pan. Since it's such a heavily straight judgemental area, I guess we all just huddle together? At least I eventually found the people here with brains. Took me until right before my senior year to find real friends, going to be hard to do it again when I finally move.

 

I remember reading a post on Tumblr about how you eventually find your group of friends getting less and less straight as you come to terms with your identity

At 13, I was talking about how much I liked boys with my friends, and now I can only think of one close friend who's heterosexual.

Surrounding myself with people in the LGBT+ community makes me feel really comfortable, and I'm so happy to have friends that can get where I'm coming (out) from!

 

This happened to a friend of mine when she was in high school. She came out first and slowly all her friends did until there was only one straight one left


For me, the friend mentioned above is the only other LGBT in my friend group, but all of our friends are very supportive and everyone was really accepting when I came out. Other than that, since starting university I've met so many more people in the community than I've ever known before.

 

I actually have no real life friends that are in the LGBT community. All of my LGBT friends I have met online. Being in a small town with what most would call Bible thumpers doesnt leave a lot of room for people who are part of the LBGT community. My sister is gay and out so if she counts I guess I have one friend. xD

 

LOL, I swear, we just find each other! (&&&)

I feel like university is perfect for that. I've met a lot of people who aren't afraid to be more open, as opposed to how private people can be in high school. It's great to meet supportive people because those who you surround yourself with have such a massive effect on your well-being Whether they're LGBT+ or an ally.

 

I don't have any fabulous friends. Just regular Joes.
