    I agree. To be honest I'm still learning most of it. When my friend told me they were nonbinary I even had trouble understanding it, but I try my best everyday to learn more about it so I can be as supportive as I can to them even if I'll never fully get it.

    You got me beat. I'm only out to 5 people, I think.

    I have learned plenty since being on here too. @Naters2000 has me beat by a long way too, I think it's only 3-4.

    Yeah lol. I’ve completely lost track of everyone who knows. It’s a long list. I’m just glad that I’m comfortable enough with myself to do this. Coming out used to be just so awful for me, now it’s really easy. Just, a “hey, I’m gay, and no, I’m not into you.”

    You do make it sound easy but I'm a lot older and less bold than you unfortunately. :slight_smile:

    Ironically, I was actually into one of the people I told (and it was before I even knew I was bi). I had no intention of getting with him when I told him, it was just more of a "Hey, you're LGBT, let's support each other" type thing. But I sort of lost interest in him now for several reasons.

    "But you don't look gay"
    "Homosexuality is an abomination"
    "Homosexuality is a mental illness"
    "Gay people are abusers"
    "You need to ask God for help"
    "Having gay friends isn't a good idea"
    "Have you ever read the Bible"

    Ugh, I seriously need a new peer group.

    Thank you.

    Another one, once someone asked me if I was gay. Like, don't ask me that, wait for me to tell you.

    Oh. See I thought it meant you were at a party or something and someone told you you couldn't have cake.

    My mom said "You should just try it with a man. Just once."

    Brother: I'm fine with gay people, but if I saw two gay dudes make out in public, I think I'd vomit.
    Me: Who would you approve of making out in public?
    Brother: Like guy and girl... girl and girl...
    Me: Trick question there is no appropriate time to make out in public

    I have a friend who's kinda feminine, and a lot of people assume he's gay for that reason (or they assume that he and I are a heterosexual romantic couple, but that's a different rant). A relative of mine, who is not normally this ignorant, once asked me "Has [friend] figured out he's gay yet?"

    "Why don't you go out with (insert name of only other gay person in the room) ?"

    Why don't I go out with the only other gay person you've met? For the same reason I don't suggest you hook up with every single straight person of the opposite gender to you who walks past. "hey, you're straight, why don't go out with him or him or him or that man over there or...."

    My mom: Your generation eats tide pods and doesn't know what bathroom they want to use, you're not gay. You just think you're gay.
    1st: Only a small portion of stupid people eat tide pods, and they don't represent the ENTIRE generation
    2nd: Every generation before the millennials has also done stupid things, don't act high and mighty
    3rd: They DO know what bathroom they want to use, it's just that transphobic people won't let them
    4th: Obviously I think I'm gay, wanna know why? It's because I am gay. DUH.

    And also my mom: If you're gay, why don't you just marry a gay man?
    Me: Mom, I don't think that's how that works.
