I cried.
This is what we’re facing every single day. And I’m just glad to know that we’re not alone, and that there are so many people out who are willing to fight for us.
Equality and love for all.
sayyesiam asked: So, me (Lívia) and my friend Brenner just started a tumblr where people can share stories and doubts, anonymously or not, about their sexual orientation. Our main goal is to help as many people as we can. And you can help by promoting! We really wanna help people. Thank you!
stumblebee asked: For the person who wanted to know how to tell if you're pansexual.. I'm pansexual. I knew I was pansexual when I started dating, and didn't look for gender. I believe that love comes in all forms - gender does not influence someones decision. I call myself "gender blind", I don't believe in gender when it comes to dating. The only thing that matters in a relationship, is love. You can love anyone you want to. Gender should not play a role when deciding who you want to be with. Loving someone is about how well you connect with them; physically and emotionally. The trust you have between one another. The ability to let them in and put your guard down. Allowing yourself to be one with eachother. I'm not an expert on relationships, but I hope this helps.
Anonymous asked: I am a 18 year old female, and bisexual. I am noticing a lot of people around me claim to be bisexual and I was talking to a guy friend and he is saying that every girl he has talked to is claiming to be bisexual . Is it possible people are claiming bisexuality as a "fad"?
Yes it’s very possible. Some people say that celebrities are doing it and it’s trickling down into the general populus. Others say it’s a general passing fad. A lot of LGBT members take offense to people “faking it” but I personally believe that (at worst) it’s making homosexuality (in all its forms) more socially acceptable.
Anonymous asked: I am a 20 year old straight girl in an art school. I've dated men through my teens. I've met this beautiful lesbian girl and we have been quite friendly with each other. I'm feeling feelings of attraction for her. Would it be wrong to reach out to her? Would a lesbian be open to a fling with a straight girl? I'm asking in all seriousness, how do I tell her that I'm into her? I don't want to play games or anything.. I'm only going to be in the same town as her for three more weeks, so I'm feeling like it's now or never.
Go for it. Let her know how you feel but tell her that you’re confused and don’t really know how to act. I’m sure she’ll have her own opinion and her own insights.

Anonymous asked: Hi! I'm gay,20yrs old. . My friend Lisa is 24 yrs old and she has told me that she wants to meet an older woman to explore her lesbian feelings. Do you think introducing her to a 38yr lesbian woman would be ok?
My friend: ask her.
Much Love.
Anonymous asked: I haven't come out yet to anybody apart from one of my male friends who's gay. He said to me "Really! I always thought you were a straight girl" I told him no, i know i'm gay and have since i was 14. he was cool with it and we are even better friends now. i asked him not to say anything to anybody because i haven't come out.
I want to come out but I'm scared of the reaction I may get from my parents. One of my close friends has recently come out and he seemed to get no harassment, but i think that was mainly because everyone else knew he was gay before he even did. So what's the best idea for me?
I wish there were a solid answer to this question, and that I could say ‘Go for it!’ - but, if you feel they may not react well you have to consider that. Before coming out to anyone I always play the ‘Worst Case Scenario’ game in the back of my mind. Perhaps some people see that as a cynical or pessimistic thing to do, but when it comes to coming out to parents (especially if you live with them) you need to be safe and prepared for what could happen.
I suppose the best advice I can give is come out to friends first and see how they take it. They will be your support system. Also, don’t feel like you need to come out to your parents right away if you feel scared about it… Eventually it will feel right. :)
Anonymous asked: Ok, so this may be a question you can't help me with but I have to try. This past year I began my first year in college and I've always been a straight girl, never confused about my gender or anything to that extent. I began college this past year and at first I didn't have many friends. I became friends with this small group of girls. I like all of them but I've made it my intention to become best friends with one specific girl. I think about her all the time, and even when I'm not around her I'm constantly thinking of her. I wouldn't have sex with her but I love to hug her and her touch makes me really happy. I am really confused about what to do? I know she is straight and I'm pretty sure I am?
Sounds like you’re not too certain. My best advice would be to wait it out: unless there’s some pressing issue, there’s no need to rush; I’m sure the truth will present itself.
