@Dilly Star, MatteyJei, Aynine Thanks. I'm just worried that universal acceptance will never be achieved- at least not in my lifetime... I'm sure I'll be fine though! I'm always fine, no matter what happens. @ResidualChaos Thank you for sharing your story as well, it was truly uplifting and helpful. Its always great to hear what other LGBTs went through; it truly can be uplifting and really does make you feel like you aren't alone... which is something that I feel a lot, that I'm alone in my struggle.
If things continue as they are currently, we'll see acceptance within the next 50 years. :3 Keep strong and rely on your supports; they will be there when things become unbearable. Things will get better.
I love that gif so hard. <3 I'm glad what I said makes you feel better about your past. We can't help how we're raised or how we act before we reach our own personal enlightenment. All we can do is move forward from that day and make every day from there forward as filled with love as we can. You are certainly not alone. In this environment there is not one LGBT person out there who doesn't struggle in one way or another. You are FAR from alone. *offers hugs*
If anyone needs an ear or someone to talk to just message me. Ill be there. I have only came out to a few people. Some of my close friends know. There are still a few that im not ever gonna tell. I think im going to keep my family in the dark on this one. They dont believe being pansexual. Its either gay or not. And on the gay subject they aren't to happy with that idea either. But thats just one thing we dont talk about. If they start saying things i dont like to hear then i leave the room. I dont expect them to understand. They already dont like that i have my ears gauged out to 1 1/4 inches. I used to have snake bites. After a bout with my dad i took those out( He called me alot of names and came at me with a pair of pliers and threated to rip them out.) I just dont wan to cause anymore problems with my family. But I feel loads better on here because i feel like i can be more of myself.
Oh, i'm SO sorry to hear that. That just broke my heart. I, too, am a tad offended when people say this. Not that being homosexual is a problem AT ALL. It's just that you can't judge a book by it's cover. That's what offends me. I am the most guyish girl that i know. I'm not a "tomboy", but that only because i hate sports. xD Now, i'm not manly in looks. But i am mistaken for a guy a LOT for the way that i dress and because i have very short hair. I think it would make more sense if i were a guy. But i am 100% heterosexual. And that's just because i have never found a girl attractive. And despite popular belief, God does not by ANY means hate homosexuals. In fact, it is the opposite. God LOVES them. God loves ALL people no matter their race, gender, or sexuality. I just want you to know that God loves YOU just the way you are.
Thanks for that, friend. In relation to what has been said that all non-girly feminine characters must by default be gay is also something I find true. In relation to Rainbow Dash in particular... Well, It'd be NICE to have a gay character, so let me dream, hehe.
Very well said! On the statement of Super Rainbow Dash, a user here, he states that he's feminine for a male. So what if he is? I don't get the "Standards of your gender" type thing. I mean really? Who says you're supposed to act all tough when you're a guy? I've known braver/stronger women than men any day of my life. (Not saying that Fem. Males are weak, I know one who's a body-builder. Trust me.) Not to get all preachy on us, but I'm starting to wonder why all of these catholics get all high-and-mighty about gays and how it's wrong. Nowhere in the bible does it say that he will hate you if you're Gay or whatever, in fact, it states quite the opposite. It states that no matter what your previous sins, all is forgiven. Of course, the fact that they consider homosexuality a sin is beyond me. Screw that.
Nothing wrong with being fem. You can still be fem and not be gay. Not in my case, though, I'm pretty fem AND I happen to be gay, haha. And what the Bible says is... largely up for debate, given its history and how many times its been modified.
I like to think those that are in touch with their feminine/masculine sides tend to have longer, more fulfilling, and lasting relationships.
