The Bees and The Birds: LGBTQ+ Version

"ALL THEY NEED IS LOVE!"

It's just as the chapter say, all they need is love!... ok not just that, they need support, love, and that cheerleading, football fighting spirit! After they came out to you of which group they are in, how can you support them? Here is some tips of how you can be there for them, starting with...

Be proud of them!
Don't bash them for being themselves, you'll be getting flies with that pile of crap you dish out. Letting them know after they talk about why they feel like this, how they know, and so on with you. Give them positive feedback, but also let them know calmly. "I know it was hard for you to come to me, and I'm very grateful. Please forgive me that I don't caught it as quick as you can, as in being positive. But it doesn't mean that I don't love you less nor think your an alien, it will take time for me to accept it. What can I do to support you positively?" They will be over the moon, and it's a good step.

Support Their Colors!
No matter if they in one group or multiple groups, if you can't stick to one color look for the LGBTQ+ Flag. Make sure you find the current flag, because it's consecutively changing. One day it will look one way, and then the next day something new have been put on. And don't worry, if you don't know where to look. Look to your closest resource, the person who came out to you! The LGBTQ+ Community have done a lot of information for themselves before going ahead and be proud of who they are, so if your confused of which flag to grab just asked them.

You got the flag, you are proud of them... Now what?
Let's get the party started! But wait... what colors do I support!? Well just like each group have a meaning with letters, so does each group have a different color to support it! Let's take a quick look at the basic groups, the L.G.B.T and don't forget Q+!

Lesbian: Red, Orange, White and Pink!
Each color is a meaning, and we will be dealing with that a lot. But here the colors means...
Nonconformity, Independence, community, unique relationship with womanhood, serenity and peace, love and sex, and femininity. We going to have a lot of these, so that's why we are doing the basics.

Gay: Green, Blue and Purple!
Not much is said about this flag, and it's ok. We all normally fly the full LGBTQ+ Flag aka "The Rainbow Flag" but for the Gay Flag it supports the reverse Lesbian colors. But what I could find is basically, that they don't care that much about the flag. Cause they see the LGBTQ+ Flag upholds ALL COMMUNITIES, and they are proud to be one with everyone instead of separating themselves. But it supports all men in all stages, the Transgender, the gender-nonconforming, intersex, and well everyone!

Bi-sexual: Magenta, Purple, Blue!
Basically this is just what I was talking about in the last chapter, it stands for female, and male for magenta and blue. While the purple means both, we like our pie and the whip topping too!

Transgender: Light Blue, Light Pink and White!
As you can tell some of the flags are connected with the others, but it comes down to the meaning. It's gender fluid, the white separates the meaning of boy or girl. But why it's not a solid blue or a solid pink then? Meaning for it is not to show "We are better then you!" No, no, no... it means that they are changing from their given gender, so they are not fully that gender yet. They are going back in to baby time basically, but it's not nothing to worry about it. They are just fully blooming to the amazing flower that they wished they want to be from the start, but have to do a little bit of work to get there.

Queer or Questioning: ... uuuhhh wweeelll. When I was looking it up, it's just how their minds work. All over, not much going on, and elusive as a flippin unicorn! From your normal colors of the rainbow to whites, browns, and blacks. They are very flexible, not as much as my brain...

As much as I can talk about each meaning of the color and so forth, we all support the LGBTQ+ Flag! And the colors is RAINBOW! THATS RIGHT! We don't choose just our flag, we support the main flag too. Since there is so many groups, we try to keep up with everyone. But we all can agree, we all can fly the rainbow!
