    I consider myself pansexual. That is, I don't really have a preference. I'm not attracted to everything, but I am attracted to a very wide variety.

    I do not believe that "gayness" or sexuality in general is (solely) genetic. Maybe partially, but definitely not solely. I disagree with the notion that everyone who changes their sexual identity is "discovering" that they were always ______.

    I am usually pretty comfortable talking to people of any given gender-orientation, but I will probably get abashed if a gay guy hits on me (which I don't find likely because I am not very attractive. Hygiene issues. Only thing I have going for me are sexy smarty glasses.)



    The LGBT community can put me off a bit because of the rebound effect. Since they are so disliked, they can be very in-your-face about the matter. I mind it the same as I would mind a straight guy constantly telling me how many ladies he is sleeping with.

    I was going to make a thread about this, but I'm happy to see that one already exists!

    I recently came out to my mother, my sister, a brother, and some close friends that I'm transgender. Just thought that I should make it public on the site as well. I've been crossdressing for a little over 3 years now, but I've felt so much better since coming out. A friend bought me some clothes, I've hung out with a friend at night while dressed up, and it's just great.

    I just want to say from experience, don't keep this stuff locked up. If you really think you'll get judged by people, start with some people online. Tell some friends, I told the staff about this before my friends and family. Once you've gotten comfortable with telling people online that you trust, try finding people near you who are the same/that you trust.

    If anyone needs to talk, you can always PM me on the site or on Skype. I love to talk to others about these kinds of things, especially when it makes them feel better :3.

    I am actually a part of my high schools gay-straight alliance. This is actually the first year my school has this (my friends stepped up to the plate and went to see the student council to make it happen! I am extremely proud of them btw!) I am currently going through a bit of a 'confusion' (don't wanna say 'phase' but I can't think of any other word to explain it) about my sexuality and am trying to figure it out. I'm just happy that I have my friends to help and support me in the best way they can! Obviously, I have nothing against any sexuality; it's part of who you are and that's all there is to it. :smile:

    Hey, guys, I know this is out of nowhere, but I'm curious about your experiences... So,

    Exactly when was it that you guys found out you were LGBT? How'd it happen? How long after that did you come out?

    Thanks.

    I decided I was gay... what? Two years ago? One and a half? Around there. Mainly the issue was I never had any interests in girls growing up through elementary (of course, I just thought it was dumb then) and middle school (also dumb, but made me think.) Sophomore year of high school I was actually doubting that I even had any interest in girls, so I started toying around with the idea until I met someone who was most certainly not a girl.

    Basically everyone but my parents know I'm gay. My friends know it, my online friends know it, my sister knows it, the world knows it. It came as no surprise to any of my friends I told, interestingly enough (Not sure if I should be relieved or offended. :p).

    Still haven't come out to my parents. It gets awkward whenever my father talks about future girlfriends or children.

    I may not be gay but I am bisexual. I parents have yet to know. And only my closest friends know. I am very nervous around people so I don't talk about it much

    A month or so ago I started smoking pot with my bisexual best friend. After a couple weeks of doing that, I felt comfortable enough while high to experiment a little. I started to wonder if maybe my feelings for him were deeper than that of friendship. A week ago, we actually slept with each other and I realized I was gay for him. This revelation is still fresh to me, so I'm working out the kinks. Like, I don't yet find myself attracted to men in general, just him. I still find women extremely attractive though. So I'm not sure yet what all is going on.

    And before anyone says this was due to being under the influence of pot, you're right. The thing about pot, though, is you're still in control of your mind and actions. It just gave me the courage to try something I'd been thinking a bit about already.

    I found out I was bisexual (for lack of a better term, sexuality is such a fluid concept) when I was 15 and started having mild attractions to some guys. I still like girls, and I've mostly dated girls, but I have experienced some pretty fun crushes on guys as well.

    Considering there are so many pages in this thread, I may have already posted here. But yes, I, Sarah Michelle Deffinger, and GAY. XD

    More specifically, I am a Pansexual. And I am also transgendered, although I know that has nothing to do with sexuality. I find it funny how when I tell people they are like "Wow, really? You just don't seem like it." Like how could I be any more gay =P ? I know for a fact that there are tons of queer folk that are not walking stereotypes. Although even if you are, that's fine! =P

    I'm a pansexaul femboi. I really support the LGBT movements no matter how mush they get bashed. I wish I could be part of the movements for real myself but with money being an issue, I'm strapped down. I'll support them regardless from the sidelines. The femi part of me I guess come from liking the idea of being female. Thus, due to accepting my inner feminine side, I have developed a feminine persona which is more or less become me in the past few years.

    Hey, Poison. You know that sense you are Pansexual that you are part of the movement in some form, right?

    Also, are you sure you are not transgendered? At one point I identified as a mix between male and female but now I feel 100 percent female XD

    Trust me, I'd like to think I'm a trans but this body is what it is. A guy. Though if I do take estrogen, then that my change. I do like the idea of being a girl but I don't like he idea of my junk being chopped off for science.

    Well remember that every transwoman starts out looking like a man. And I bet they all thought that they would never look like a woman. And also you don't need to chop off your junk; your happiness is the number 1 thing. In my opinion, if you want people to call you Ms., Mrs. or Ma'am, then you are probably trans =P

    One more thing, not all transwomen look like women anyways. A lot of them still like to grow out their facial hair, or lift weights, or what-have-you. You should be happy in your own skin! =)

    Well I don't mind if ponies refer to me as female, I'm not making anypony say I'm female. But I guess with how you put, I maybe trans. The idea does sound a bit weird but I'm kinda use to weird stuff anyway, so bleh. Fun all around. Well not to mention my own hair on my head is slowly going beyond shoulder length. Though you don't have to be a girl to have long hair, it's just a bad stereotype.

    Definitely. In my opinion, the definition of being trans is wishing you were the "opposite" sex. I feel like you may because your Steam name is "emily_the_fallenangel." You can definitely figure that out for yourself but I support you either way! =D

    Well my Steam name is in reference it my female white tiger fursona Emily Starstorm. So I guess it's more or less that I've come to accept that I do have a want to be female. Though it's something that I still think about, it's nice to have a second opinion on the matter.

    The only thing I would say is that I've known "Femboys" before and they fully wanted to be considered male, and they did not want to be women, but they liked women's clothes and lifestyle, etc. But anyways, I would give it some thought. It took me my whole life to realize I was really a woman inside =P
    Rome wasn't built in a day, so give it some consideration. (On a side note, I fully plan on 'keeping my junk')
