hi! having a reprise of my queer crisis at the moment so thought i should ask what everyone's experience with the community was--and maybe to share stories of coming out, to support other LGBTQ+ pandas or allies in knowing we are not alone. Stay safe and have a lovely day!

"Guys I'm gay"
"Yeah no shìt"
And that's how it went with everyone lol

My niece (female) now lives his life as a man. I love the person no matter what. Don’t expect everyone to conform to your expectations.

I walked up to my mom recently and said, and I quote, "you know, I think I might like men and women" she responded with "that's fine"
another incident was when I told my very Christian grandmother that some random dude on the streets asked for my pronouns. she asked what I explained to the man, and I struggled for ten minutes to tell her that my pronouns are they/them...

This is kind of related I think. I hope you accept my story.
In my twenties I worked at a depot full of tradesmen. There were very few tradesmen at the time. The place was definitely a sea of masculinity. But because I did not engage in, "locker room" talk about women, did not brag about my sexual exploits, did not really talk that much about any girlfriends, it was assumed I was gay. On more than one occasion people would take me to one side and ask if I was homosexual. So, I had to come out the closet as straight!
