So you're LGBTQ, what now?

[jayyy-lmao]

I am genuinely asking this question, what now? My friend recently decided he was sure he was bi, and now he just doesn't know what to do with said knowledge. So can anyone relate, and have any advice? :what:

I don't know what to say. I go on with my life the best I can the same as everyone else. But I've known I was gay since I was little so maybe I can't relate as well.

I get where you're coming from. I've always thought the are some things we should be told when we figure out that we're LGBTQ. Like, it's hard to learn from experience when no-one around you is like you.

My brothers have always been very accepting and supportive, so that has always helped me feel alright about myself.

Live your life? What, did he expect it to be some secret club of gay and bi people or something?

This is pretty much what I was thinking.

Same here. But honestly we all have lives to live, some of us more than others but still a life.

Well, that's asking yourself "Hey, I like boys and girl. What now?" you just live your life knowing you like boys and girls and now you know you can have relationships with boys and girls. What else should change?

It's not like we all put on ridiculous hats, write 'PRIDE' on our chests and only cover what needs to be covered in rainbows then parade down the street in a mob... oh wait, that's the Pride parade.

Sorry, my dislike of such celebrations is showing. There is no 'what now?' because it's not like we're suddenly special or something. There's really no big epiphany that comes with it. He's the same person now as he was before, he just is more sure of who that person is. I'm not sure what he expects.

Well, if I were you, I would just tell him that it doesn't matter what his sexuality is, he;s your friend and that's what matters, because I'm assuming that's true :L

Well he is still the same person you can tell him that... It's just a discovery. It's like finding an already discovered fossil you're just another bi or gay...

Lol that's how I delt with it

all you can do now is be you :)

I mean, there's no big special change once you find an LGBTQ label that you find comfortably fitting. You don't suddenly have to learn how to deal with pooping out rainbows.

If you want, you can come out to people you feel comfortable with. But it's not necessary or mandatory or anything.

If you want to find other LGBTQ people to talk to and learn from, you can join a GSA club whether at school or outside of school.

Ooooo THIS! 100% THIS ALL OF IT! I don't think I could have said that anywhere near as good as that...

I totally had the question when I realized, and then I came out to my parents and went, "great, over that hill!" but it felt like there was a bigger one to go over.. the feeling went away eventually. Nobody outside of my family knows I'm gay but nobody's ever asked either and I have a bit of a don't ask, don't tell policy.
