My mom found out none of us are straight.

990 Upvotes

So, I'm a lesbian and have been since I was 13 (I'm 17 now). My parents accepted me and we all adjusted. My sister (13) and stepsister (also 13) both came out to our mom months apart. My sister is Bi, my stepsister is pan.

My mom just smiles and looks like a proud mom, and I can't help but be happy I'm in an accepting household. So now my mom has adopted the official "gay mom" title and buys us pride things every now and then to show she accepts us and our sexualities.

LGBTQ under Trump

117 Upvotes

We are not from the U.S. (but Germany). We read a lot lately about Trump not really making friends with, well, pretty much anyone who doesn't fit into his narrow little world. But it is very hard from the news to get an idea of how the atmosphere over there really is.

Has anything changed in how you are seen an treated in public? Do you still feel safe?

How would you feel…

131 Upvotes

…about a girl running her fingers through your hair while you cuddle and watch a show, or just lazily smoosh together in comfortable silence? About a girl not being afraid to hold your hand wherever you go, giving forehead kisses and cheek kisses and sometimes hand kisses like you’re royalty?

About a girl who will listen to everything you have to say because it’s all important if it matters to you, even if you think it’s stupid? About a girl who’ll regale you with crazy stories from highschool or college or whenever and you get to listen to her wonderful voice and feel what she felt? About a girl who can knock your socks off just because she’s her, about a girl that makes you convulse on the floor in laughter until your entire body hurts?

…Yeah, I think I’d marry her on the spot.

Why are some girls so confusing 😔

28 Upvotes

Just a rant. There’s this girl I met on Hinge. We talked for a bit and at some point she asked me if I wanted to meet up. I said yes, and we agreed to see each other over the weekend. The weekend comes, and I text her to ask what time she wants to meet. She only replies when it’s basically already evening, saying she has to work and can’t make it. She didn’t even say sorry or anything. We had confirmed the plan, and I had made time for it, so it kind of sucked that she let me know so late. I let it go and didn’t talk to her after that.

Fast forward I randomly run into her at a concert, and she even gets called up on stage. That was the first time I saw her in real life and I was like bruuuh, omg. After the concert, I walked up to her and we spoke briefly. She told me I was beautiful and said, “for some reason you were on my mind.” When I got home, I texted her: “you’re even prettier in real life.” She replied, “you too,” and then said, “so when are we hanging out?” I decided to give it another chance. She mentioned she can’t meet during the week, only on weekends. So I suggested Saturday. She never responded.

She did reply to a story I posted on Sunday though. I responded normally, but I still found it weird that she initiated the whole “let’s hang out” thing and then just never followed up. So eventually I asked her, “what’s up with you?” and she never replied to that either. But she still views my stories, and for some reason she removed me from hers because I can’t see her highlights anymore.

I honestly don’t get why some people act like this. I have no idea what could possibly be going through her head or why she’s doing this. I feel kind of disrespected. And what really baffles me is that she was the one who asked to hang out — twice — and then pulls this weird behavior. I’m kinda bummed because she seemed like a genuinely interesting person to connect with, and she’s honestly so, so pretty. But oh well… sigh.

Not actually into women???

423 Upvotes

I(17f) recently had a conversation with a friend(19f) where I said that I was only (or at least like 95%) attracted to masculine presenting women, to which she told me that I should just date men since I obviously don't actually like women... But the thing is I've always been a tomboy up until a few years ago where I really got in touch with my feminine side, so now I wear short skirts, pink and everything glitter (a bit "bimbo"ish). But the thing is, is that I'm pretty sure I'm just attracted to masculinity in general not just in women, I just like feeling small and cute next to my partner... So like am I wrong for being upset about her telling me "to just date men"??

I don't know if it changes anything but I very much have daddy issues??

“would you like to fuck?”

24 Upvotes

i just arrived from my friend’s party

we had a fling but currently are distant romantically speaking

she’s leaving to another job across the country

tonight, after drinking a bit and admiring her, i got aroused

so impulsevely asked “would you like to fuck?”

she was surprised and said no, then justified that she was tired

i said that’s okay and apologized later, i didn’t mean to be offensive, bc i saw that i caught her off guard

i really don’t want to make things awkward or be disrespectful. should i text her saying this or leave it alone and just move on?

thanks

My friend let's me be gay with her... even though she's not.

358 Upvotes

I know that's a weird title.

My (asexual) friend knows I like her. She makes me feel so desired for quality time that it's hard not to fall in love with her. She asks for me to come over all the time. I like to massage her- which usually ends up with me just caressing her and/or her cuddling close to me. She always finds ways to sit by me whenever we're out with friends. She always lingers when we hug, and stares at me like she's gonna kiss me in front of people. We'll do errands together, and go on brunch dates. I'll play in her hair while she lays on me. Part of me feels like it's her way allowing me to be close because I know she craves the intimacy as much as I do.

She's voiced before that she doesn't have romantic desires for people, but I do love how romantic our friendship feels 💗

i love reading to my girlfriend

20 Upvotes

shes aslepe now and im sleepy and feeling sappy. we both have trouble getting to sleep and shes been reading to me before i sleep, and the sound of her voice narrating makes me feel so warm and peaceful. recently ive started reading to her too, and i didnt realize doing the opposite would have the same effect. i love her so much and it makes me feel content to know shes getting to sleep well and i. just. love taking care of her even if its in such a small way

its one of my favorite books that my dad read to me as a kid, so i think in a way thats the purest way i can show love. i wouldnt read it to anyone else.

im going to sleep too now. i just didnt know it would feel this good. my heart is so full

Is it normal to prefer a massage from your partner over sex?

14 Upvotes

I enjoy sex with my partner for sure. However, I LOVE massages. I told my partner I would be okay with giving her oral and then receiving a massage instead of her reciprocating, and she didn’t understand why I would be able to substitute sex with a massage. Is this really weird?

I did think I was asexual for 7 years, but I do think I experience sexual attraction so I identify as lesbian. But I don’t feel an overwhelming urge to have sex, and often am fine just masturbating to if I am horny. Is this not a normal experience as a lesbian?

My shocking attempt at my first kiss with my girlfriend

48 Upvotes

It all happened in my bedroom on the 1st of February 2025 during a sleepover. We had been together for 1 month and 16 days by this point, and the tension between us had been building for that whole time. When she first came over to my house she thought my Lego, Funko Pop, and coin collections were something only a “nerd” would have. And she’s right. When you’ve been laughably single for so long sometimes you just need to buy things to obsess over and put on display. She doesn’t think I’m too much of a nerd anymore, I mean not that I know of anyway. Which is good because I don’t want anyone to know the truth about my bedroom. Anyway, to set the scene we were both just chilling in my “nerd” bedroom watching TikTok’s and the tension was increasing faster than my heart rate. I was standing up, she was sitting upright with her face close to my chest / shoulders / neck area. I had been building up the courage for a solid 3 and a half minutes which felt more like 3 hours. I didn’t know what to do so I would occasionally but awkwardly giggle at every TikTok that we watched. I slowly moved my way down to face her, I held her left cheek with my right arm, closed my eyes, puckered up, and made a move. Anyway, I don’t really remember what happened or if we said anything after that but all I’ll say is that was a 0/10 baller move. I mean at least she kissed me back lol, but I could’ve executed that such better but I don’t really care because I was scared and I’ve kissed her billions of times since then anyway. But yeah that was my shocking attempt at our first kiss, just felt like sharing because this made me laugh so much typing it.
