boys color flags gay genderfluid hidden homophobe homophobia newlife prejudice pride rainbow scared shame unashamed wattpride

This is a new story written by Advisor for Pen Your Pride for Pride Month

Living in a family of homophobes is hard enough, but being gay in that homophobic family? Your life becomes a living hell. This is the story of how one boy who grew up with rainbows on dart boards meets a new friend. A friend who can help him realize that no matter who he is, he is loved and important.

The scenario is based off of a true story, most everything else is made up fiction. 

Also please keep in mind that this is from the perspective of someone who was raised as a die-hard homophobe. (Like I was) Apologies in advance if there's anything here that's too offensive. If you like find something over the top and you're about to blow your top over it please tell me. I really don't want to hurt anyone out there too bad. 

Cover done by me, and whoever put the photo on the Internet. 

And just so you know, the ship name is supposed to be very particular, and has a very special meaning. See if you can figure it out.All Rights Reserved

gay one shots | ✔️ by rebarat

#3 in funghoul #7 in partypoison #88 in trans (all for september 2019) Gay, lesbian, trans, ships, my otps, and just gay stuff in general. I'm a 99% gay boy, so most of the stories are going to be boy x boy, but a lot of them are also going to feature low-key or high-key trans characters, and some will contain lesbian shots and flash fictions. I'm trying to be all-inclusive too so there'll be a couple non-binary and gender-nonconforming fics too, which I'm still trying to figure out how to write. But if your someone struggling with sexuality, this is a great place to start seeing if you identify with some of my bullshit characters.

Childhood Enemies by hexy201

Short story kinda long chapters . Just a quick warning, I promise you it's not what it seems, the plot twist is something you will never imagine, I want to see you try and guess what will happen , no cheating. Try to guess , I promise you you'll never be able to predict what happens. ___________________________________________ ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ When you're a kid normally you'd have a childhood best friend, or a childhood girlfriend or boyfriend or just a childhood friend. But my childhood was different, cause unlike most people I had a childhood enemy, rival. Yeah.... I wish I was kidding but I'm not . Ever since I learned how to walk and talk I was taught to hate this one guy , Damian.

Hidden Roses by profcheeziteater

Pax is a fifteen year old (rising junior) with no sense of self love and also with a shitty family. He grew up in a world where he hadn't heard a lot of things even existed, like anything in the LGBT spectrum, and he'd grown up in churches that exiled the word "gay". In sixth grade, everything finally clicked. He was transgender. Just because he realized it, though, didn't mean his entire life would become perfect. From the time he was twelve on, he was sick and confused and altogether terrified of what he's become. After he came out to all of friends, most of them ditched him until his only friends were the school's gay power couple and a nonbinary internet friend he'd never even talked to in real life, and only them to help him and figure out everything that needs figuring out. In this coming-out story, I delve basically into what was my young teenage years - so I included quite a lot of things I went through. Some triggers this might include are: -transphobia -homophobia -vague references to self harm -suicidal thoughts & actions -SPOILER: Pax is kicked out at some point; I'd suggest that you don't read it if you're not comfortable with that because that's the climax. 600 reads?? 100 votes??? Thanks ❤️

He Says He's Just A Friend by jms777

Emmet and Clay did not meet on the best of terms, but that doesn't stop them from becoming fast friends. As their bond grows stronger, they will do whatever it takes to maintain this new friendship. Even though that may not be all that either of them wants. After years of living in a conservative southern town, Emmett has developed a hard shell that is not easily pierced. It's gotten even more difficult since breaking up with his first serious boyfriend left him feeling devastated and betrayed. Then a new friend comes along to peel back all the layers of protection, making Emmett feel happy again, and perhaps making him feel something more. The loss of his father at a young age left Clay with severe anxiety. His girlfriend says he's emotionally distant - because he is. Clay never gave much thought to his sexuality. He started dating because all his friends were, and although his relationships never seem to work out, he continues to try, because that's what's expected. The steady track he's been traveling is suddenly upended when he becomes enamored with a boy he just met. Now Clay has to figure out what he wants and how far he's willing to go to get it.

Twisted Deception by StarrySky_23

[Book #1 of Twisted Deception] "You people don't know a damn thing about us, don't even speak." **** Everyone knows that high school is always something to dread. GPA, friends, enemies, prom, graduation, everything that you think would make high school good and bad for the future. Now scratch off friends, GPA, prom, and graduation. Why would you scratch them off? Because everything else will be the only thing that's important when you get to this high school. Saint Johnathan Pier is the one high school in the city where everything happens and normally, stuff you wish you didn't see. Everyone warned people about the dangers of the students going there but did they ever mention the people already broken by it? They were dubbed "the rainbow colors of society" just because they were different from other students in this school. But there's a slight differential between them: four of these students are popular while the other four are normal. While the four populars are seen as "superior, hot, and intimidating", the four normals are seen as "weirdos, weaklings, and irreverent bystanders". Being different from the other kids has always been a struggle for all of them since grade school, but they try to keep that out of mind. But with their dark history following them at every corner, making new friends can't be on their list. Matter of fact, it isn't an option. Especially when their attitudes are what drive people away rather than in. Not like they're complaining though. When these eight students get paired up for an end of the year assignment, they encounter a lot of drama that will test their relationships to the max. What will happen to them? Can they grow comfortable with each other? Can these troubled teens even be friends in the first place? Come along on the journey as these eight try to survive their last year of high school. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️: This contains strong language, mentions of rape, bullying, etc.

Not A Finch - Fanfiction Ending by they_call_me_sugar

Story blurb inside- first chapter BoyxBoyequalsLove is the author of "Not A Finch", and has been tagged in the before you read chapter. The tag is like a direct link to their page when you click on it. Please go look at their story- this is how I thought the story would go if they finished it! (Which they are now, so you should totally go read their new chapters and other work!!) This is seriously just a 'fanfiction', don't take this as me trying to take the story or anything away from the author! I talked to BoyxBoyequalsLove and they said it was totally cool if I kept this up, and completely understood why I wrote this! This is a work of fiction, I do not condone certain aspects of this story in real life (incest). It's come to my attention that some people believe that the og author and myself condone/practice incestuous behavior- let me be clear, NEITHER OF US DO. This is literally just a story, not everything you read is true and not everything that someone writes is something that they want to participate in/wants others to participate in. Please don't fuck your siblings ♡ 《 Cover image is from Pinterest 》 ▪︎ Completed

Clusterfuck by logophile_e

Toby Wentworth's life is a clusterfuck. For a lot of reasons. And one of them just happens to be the fact that he is very gay, and also so far in the closet that he's practically in Narnia. But then there's this guy. This guy in his calculus class who winks at him. And suddenly, they're partners for a project. And Toby cannot stop thinking about him. Toby does his best to balance school, work, relationships, and the biggest secret he's ever kept as life goes on. He does, honestly. He tries so very hard. But things like drama, bizarre coincidences, and, of course, his crippling tendency to overthink have been making it difficult, and it's really not fair. But Toby just cannot stop thinking about that boy. And there are times when he wants to hate himself because of it. Sometimes, Toby's life sucks. He'll admit it. But as aggravating as the feeling of being just out of reach of a romance he desperately craves is, there's something... thrilling about it. Something that, no matter how many times he tries, cannot get him to stop this madness. He's in trouble. Absolutely. But maybe trouble can have its benefits. *** cover art by me!
