Happy pride you all!!!!!! My stories are actually really funny now that I think about it
I kinda have 2 where i really should have realized something was up and then one where i was like OHHHHHH
1: When i was in the beginning of 7th grade, i was really obsessed with learning about all the different queer identities and pride flags. I really was so excited by learning about all different sexualities, genders, romantic orientations, etc etc etc. And yet, i never thought to consider if I was potentially queer 😭 So, as a “cishet” 7th grader, i built an entire minecraft castle with every pride flag on the internet in it. And i called it the Ally Palace. I was like wow :) im such a good ally :)
2: One time i was watching a youtube video with a girl who was carving a pumpkin. It was literally the normalest video of all time, but i remember being sooooo nervous while i was watching it: for some reason i kept thinking “omg, if my mom comes in and sees me watching this she’s going to think i’m gay” 😭😭😭😭😭😭. Now that i think about it, it was because the woman in the video was very pretty, and i clearly subconciously knew that even though i considered myself completley straight at the time.
3: My actual realizations are pretty average- i wont go into details but my thought process was like “woah….. girls ARE attractive……….im bisexual 😦”
And then later on when my friends kept referring to me as cisbi or cisgay or whatever i started being like heyyyy why does that feel wrong and also maybe that would explain why i strongly dislike wearing super fem clothing
(Im mostly neutral about clothing now but there was a period in my life where i could not STAND to wear skirts or dresses or skinny jeans)
Oh yeah im also aromantic!! The way i realized that is a complicated combination of failed relationships, confusing platonic feelings, and being on tumblr.
I mostly like queer and genderqueer as labels now, i love the idea of reclaiming the word queer and also not having to strictly define myself, as well as the fact that queer also means a little bit weird :)
That’s all!!! Thanks everyone for bringing this game onto my dash, i’ll tag the mutuals i interact with most/can think of off of the top of my head but everyone is welcome to join! I don’t know if all of you are queer, so sorry if this game doesn’t apply to you :)
