okay this is a question for all my gays , lesbains , trans or anyone part of the lgbqt+ do you guys feel pressured to 'come out' to people or is it something you want to do , sorry if this doesn't make sense but i was looking at video talking about how some people from the lgbqt+ feel obliged to kinda tell everyone their sexuality and basically thier love life whilst lets say someone like me who is straight doesn't really have to because well..im straight and thats what people automatically assume you are unless you say otherwise , so for that reason do you feel like you HAVE to tell people only because they might label you as "hetrosexual" because thats what is considered normal in society , despite telling people making you feel uncomfortable . the reason why im asking is because im trying to look at it from a different perspective i mean i personally do not like sharing things about my love life as i think thats something quite private and im pretty sure thats also the same for other people , but the difference is that people that are part of the lgbqt+ are still not fully accepted in society , so does it become hard for you guys ? like one hand you want to share because hey your not straight but then on the other hand you know the negativity you might have to face ?

@-guccishit That's fair, sometimes it's just really hard to tell. It's why I assume everyone around me is just a member, cause I rarely run into straight people so it kinda creates an opposite affect lol

@cqntralperk mhm thats the problems i was thinking of too , guys coming up to you and asking for your number just because hey everyone in this world is straight unless they say so , omg another thing that annoys me is when people say “its just a phase” or “you don’t look gay” or when a straight man is “overly” feminine or a straoght girl is “overly”masculine they aren’t heterosexual like what ??? i have a friend who is completely striaght but likes hanging out with the girls (because we are better) and everybody automatically assumed he was gay and i had to keep correcting them because erm HES NOT !

@mercurial- exactly i feel like people around you and where you live matters a lot too , like where i live its a 50/50 thing where they are either completely supportive or just homophobic . if i am being honest then i was probably one of the homophobic ones , if you were a friend that came out to me as bisexual then i would immediately keep my distance from you but thats because again my surroundings taught me that being straight is right and lgbqt+ is wrong and im so glad i have now changed because ew my mindset was nasty af ! but anyways i hope you feel happy and safe no matter where you are : )
