tune

I mean there's nothing straight about your username.

Oof i was scrolling and saw this so was like WHY NOT. So hey here I am YEAH

I've been told that I don't look gay. Like one of my friends who knew exactly who was gay before they even knew was shocked when I said I liked a girl.

whats your opinion on coming out?
I never thought about this until a friend pointed it out, but is it even neccesary to come out to the general public? I mean unless you are going to be dating someone'/ talking to them about your relationships often, do they really need to know? (not like you should hide it or anything) I just thought that was really cool and wanted to know some other LGBTQ+ people's opinions!! uwu

i look sterotypically straight and nothing about my appearance suggests that i'm gay, but i don't like it when people automatically assume i'm straight and i'm pretty insecure about not being "gay enough" so i came out to pretty much everyone i know (except for my family) and bring it up all the time to help me deal with that insecurity i guess??

Dude if you saw me You would be like " Well he dosen't look gay to me he dosen't even act gay." But here i am gay as HeIl and i act straight around alot of girls. Like we will joke around and i will be in class and i'll start poking them in the thigh or leg. Srsly

(off topic, I know but like….)
GUYS!!!!!!
ACE PRIDE WEEK IS NEXT WEEK!!!! It starts the 22nd and goes to the 27th!
Im excited but also im not out to anyone at my college so its like kinda frustrating that I can't talk about it or like wear a bunch of pride stuff. Im not sure I wanna out myself either b/c it's a Christian college and there's been a lot of controversy about LGBTQIA+ issues lately. :/

Oof I’m sorry dude. I know it’s not the same but we’ll all celebrate with you! Do you have any close friends you’d feel comfortable coming out to? Or discreet ace pride stuff?

Hey if you have friends and there true to you till the end then they won't care. I am not the only one who has probs told you this and probs won't be the last love. SO Be yourself an if you want to just tell everyone you are just supporting it im sure they wont care

And is there like a Ace pride parade???

WAIT THERE'S AN ACE PRIDE WEEK??? BETTER GO GET MY ACE FLANNEL WASHED!!!!

Also I'm about 100 pages into The Miseducation of Cameron Post and it's really good so far!!

I'm a smol aro in the corner
Ready to come out
What a funny joke

Don't get

And is there like a Ace pride parade???

not that I know of :(

They should totes get one tho they have a gay pride parade Which i did go to the last 4 times.

I have a black version of the One Ring that I am planning on wearing, but thats about it for clothing. Its my first semester at college so I dont really know anyone all THAT well yet but I might tell my roommate as she seems accepting and has told me about one of her friends from high school that was ace and she hung out with. Idk if I would or who else I would come out to…

One thing I am considering is that there is a Haven club on campus… and I MIGHT go. I haven't worked up the courage to go yet because im afraid of people judging me. sounds stupid, I know, but… Idk how it works or anyone who is in it so it just feels awkward to randomly show up in the middle of the semester you know?

Well You go dude/ Dudet because once you do it you might just feel like a superhero and act like your true self around people.

I get that but like that’s what it’s there for you know?

Yeah people there can't make fun of you I mean they can but that would be wierd since they are the same

well, I only realized I was Ace about a year ago and my high school didn't have SGA so I've never been to anything in the community so I don't know what it's like, and I like to know what i'm getting myself into, but, yeah, it's just nerves. I'll try to work up the courage to go.

I just tryed to explain what being Aro is to my parents.

OR BISCUTS

They just tried to convince me that "The right person will come along and sweep you off your feet!"
s currently sobbing

Kisses cheek without it bieng wierd You will be ok Were here for you

Please refrain from touching me, I will scream.
I do it in real life.

You can't control other people finding what you do weird or not. Also, don't ever touch someone, especially like that, without their verbal consent first.

Can I give you air hugs?

They're wrong Duskie. You don't ever need to find someone who changes you like that. Who you love is your choice and how you love them is all up to you and your boundaries. Never let anyone tell you differently. And if they truly care about you, they should love you for who you are right now, boundaries and all without complaint.

They tell me that I'll get asked to dance by a nice boy and we would become "Girlfriend" and boyfriend. the, they tell me that I'm too young to have a romantic relationship.

Sry :(. I usually do that so sry
