Yeah, I'd say my plans have changed a bit too already. I wanted to go to Georgia Tech for a while, because it's the best school in the state, by most standards, and is an excellent choice for aspiring scientists. I worked so hard to get in there, and then I changed my mind after I got accepted because I came to realize I would be miserable there. Then it was just such a fight to convince my parents that I'd be better off at this other private school, and my mom constantly acts like I let her down. Like every time she mentions college to a friend or family member, she has to bring up my acceptance to Tech and how the private college "wooed me." And she's already talking about how my brother can go there one day (he's 12 and has average grades, hates reading and refuses to do just about anything besides play fortnite). It's just frustrating. Sorry for ranting there.
No it's all good
that's what I'm here for
to listen to rants
Oh. Thank you. I just kinda needed to get that off my chest.
yeah no I am here for whatever you need
Hey guys I need some LGBTQ+ identity positivity lol anyone down to help me out
Hey guys I need some LGBTQ+ identity positivity lol anyone down to help me out
Ya of course! I've got a story if anyone wants to hear
So when I came out to my cousin Jaxson as genderfluid, he was kinda silent for a bit, then he nodded and said, 'if you're gonna be a guy, you've gotta be able to do the man hug' proceed to the engaging of the man hug, then I yelp because he somehow elbowed me in the stomach while trying awkwardly dly to hug me. It was adorable
Lol the man hug. That's pretty good.
HEY EVERYONE we need some help
so first of all- go to Gen Chat and read the thread "Goodbye, cruel world."
Done? okay now you know about what happened to @Pixie_Writes_Steampunk.
We're trying to figure out a way to reach her/to make sure she's okay.
Was anyone friends with her? Or knew her outside the chat in any way?
If not, is anyone in Michigan? That's all we know about her location. And we think she's around 15? But we're not sure and we'll keep you updated.
I've DM-ed andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) to see if there's anyway I can get the email address for her deleted account
but uh signal boost this pls
Oh no! I hope she's okay.
No, I don't know her outside of the chat and I'm not in Michigan.
(Signal boost?)
(Signal boost?)
to signal boost is to spread it around
like if you rp-ed with her? or knew who rp-ed with her, then maybe ask them?
there's a group of LGBTQ+ people in the rp forums and we are the rolegays
i feel like the LGBTQIAP+ community has an enhanced pun-making part of the brain that straights just don't have
"Let's Get Busy Today, Quinn. I ain't playin. +" community? BECAUSE I AGREEEEE
Hi, I'm very late for this chat aren't I…
nah fam no one is ever late
we just randomly revive it sometimes
I'm gonna revive this again because I just wanted to say that my school has a Pride club (it's pretty cool) and we're trying to get more LGBTQA+ equality in our county and state so that's kind of neat
Also I just wanted to bring this back
Which state? Just curious.
Virginia. We're mainly just talking about how the school always sends out a thing about how they promise to respect certain things (like race, financial situations, ect.) but they don't have anything about respecting sexuality, gender identity, and other LGBTQA+ stuff. They say that it's "implied" but we're trying to get the actual words on there.
I see. I was just wondering if you were from the South (I guess Virginia is South but lol what do I know?) because I know that sometimes southerners tend to be less accepting of LGBTQA+ people (I'm from Georgia, and that seems to be the general attitude in more rural parts of the state at least.)
But yeah, good for your school!!! It's really important to put that stuff into words, because if you don't, people will find a way around it.
My high school had a GSA club (Gay-Straight Alliance), and I was kind of scared out of going because only a few people really know about my deal, and I didn't want my parents asking what club I was going to that day of the week because I'm a horrible liar.
I'm not out yet, but this club is during school so I don't have to tell anyone about it. Virginia is technically in the south (and the people at my school might as well be from Texas or something) but it's a pretty accepting community. (It might be because I live near a college so there's more LGBTQA+ people? Idk.)
That's really cool! Even if it's a small step, it's still a step! I wish my high school had something similar, but it was a catholic private school so that probably wouldn't have gone over well.
