1-4. I realized I was a lesbian literally the second I learned it was a thing that could happen! I was eleven and I saw Jesse Tyler Ferguson kiss a man and I was like “oh fuck I think I’m the girl version of that!” I came out about a day later to an adult who was actually stalking and grooming me online, and it’s weird as fuck but he was hella supportive lmfao…yikes
24. I have never spoken to a gay person older than 18 irl, and I have anon-ed a few lesbians over 30…but no I’ve never had a chance to talk with a gay elder. I call my butch mentor my “butch elder” because of the role she played in my life, not her age.
26. The only intentionally LGBT-only space I’ve been in was a play I was in that had an all LGBT cast and crew, and that was so fucking great, even though we did have some people there who still thought lesbians (esp butches) were Problematic, so that was fun….as a theatre person who does improv, stand up, and competition, I have found myself in tons of unintentionally gay only spaces though lmao
28. I hate men, I don’t like to shave, I wear button downs, I’m butch, I don’t like being around straight people a lot, I do theatre, I’m a comedian, I was traumatized by men, I never shut the fuck up about being gay…probably more
