I remember years ago, my little sister got ahold of my phone and went through my notes. I keep a personal digital log thingy, and it mentioned how I was bi and how I didnt know what I was gonna do.
Ofcourse her being the little something she was at the time, she essentially managed to unknowingly corner me into telling our dad, aka, the only person genuinely close to me. I didnt know how he was gonna react, because he had always seemed rather quiet regarding the subject of LGBTQ+ individuals.
He just sorta nodded, and he didnt care.
And it was a moment of uttermost relief I will never forget.
And not caring about it is the way it should be really. Its just a small detail that doesnt change your bond with someone whatsoever, theyre still the same person!
The fact that I agree that Im incredibly lucky to have a supportive father is pretty sad the more I think about it.
To any other LGBTQ+ individuals, please dont let awful remarks get to ya. You are valid and valued.

A few friends of mine came out, one as non binary and the other as trans. I just went with the: Oki doki just tell me what pronoums you want me to use for the first person since we dont have a standard for they/them in my lenguage. The second person needs a bit more context: Social event I was organising were we had to have formal clothing, he asked if it was okay to wear a suit, I asked him why wouldn't it be. (at the time I didnt knew he was a trans man) At the party I presented him to my best friend (for future context she is a girl) and they hit it off pretty well. He came out to my best friend at some point in the party and she called me over so he could tell me that. My words were the following: Thats great! Now I can have a girl best friend and a boy best friend (my lenguage has diferent words for best friend depending on the gender)

So guys I have a big problem. I came out saying I'm LGBTQ+ to my friends but none of them seem to take me serious. I think everybody regardless of where they're on the spectrum should be treated. With respect. I currently identifying today as a non-cyst non-binary penguin. Some days I do feel like a zem giraffe. It all depends on the way I'm feeling. But nobody will take me serious. These are my pronouns. These are the way they make me feel good. So how can I get my friends to respect that? I may non-binary penguin most of the times? So wrong how they're attacking me for just me being me. Can I please get some advice?

It's been a long time ago when i came out to my friend as a nonbinary person. He show me no reaction. Our friendship is still, we hang out together every weekend, but this luck of reaction makes me feel unacceptable, and i have closed in myself and haven't speak about it anytime. But after watching this video i realized that he did the things that are said there. Maybe he doesn't pay attention to my identity because I'm still his friend, and it doesn't matter. I dunno. But i guess now i have some forces to ask him, or at least start to act like I truly am.
Thank you for this video!

Is it normal for my gay friends to exclude me because Im straight I wanted lunch with them today but they told be only LGBTQ+ people could sit with them so I ate alone and cried but just a little but it kinda hurt my feelings because Im not straight Im questioning and I never exclude them because they arent straight so Idk what couldve done for them to be doing it to me. Im an ally but theyre constantly calling me homophobic even I dont think Ive done anything to be given called that

For me, I just treat them the same as I always do ( or at least I try to, because I can understand that coming out of the closet takes a lot of courage, and most people from the LGBTQ+ community just want to be treated the same as everybody else. I might be wrong, if I am, please tell me what I should do better.
I wrote this before watching the vid, and I am relieved that this was one of the tips you gave

As someone who identifies with things most people haven't heard of, I would agree with the ask in a kind and appropriate manner one
It makes me feel like you actually cared enough to get to know what it is when you could have protended you knew it already.
If you are struggling to come out,
Just remember even if you aren't accepted, there's a whole LGBTQIA+ community out there for you

ive only (technically) came out to my friends.
i say technically because im still not sure if im actually what i am so im just gonna wait 6 months until i know i feel this way.
my friends are the people that i trust the most (not my family, sad) so its easier to share secrets with them, because they are still the same, regular friends that I have no matter what I tell them.

I was forced to come out, I was attacked for my phone and then was yelled at while screaming and the top of my lungs and crying, I don't think this helped with my relationship with my family in any way, I wasn't ready, but I just couldn't stand up for myself in that moment, I hate that I'll never forget that day, It's hard to forget things like that

I feel like my relationships were like an orange ever since I've come out.
The bitter ones, unnecessary ones the ones only loosely connected to the core of what I was really all about were peeled off, some hurt, others did me good.
And what remains is the strongest version of myself, and the strongest relationships I've built

Well today i confronted my friend and asked him is he gay and he told me everything. And i can't tell how happy I am that he trusted me. He is still the same for me and always will be. But I am here because I don't want to hurt him with my bold questions. Trying my best. I never met a gay person so its all so new to me.
