Heh, me and my friend plan to in the future. |D And I'm going to do Day of Silence just to confuse people.

Most of the school will laugh in bewilderment and scorn or something, but maybe some will actually get the message as well!
 
Argh, my old school's computer systems used to filter out everything vaguely gay, too - which made researching for my Philosophy and Ethics essay on homosexuality rather difficult - though, admittedly, not as difficult as my friend who wrote about pornography X3
 
Wait, what?

Alternative lifestyles are bad?


My school is pretty good, I can still access ... here, for instance, and a lot of websites about homosexuality and transgenderism -- unfortunately some more useful websites are blocked as Pornography (Japanese) or whatever. Yeah, we have specific nationality porn blocks. Which is why I can't get to the wiki page for lolita.


ALSO AN EVENT IN THE WORLD OF VERNE HAS HAPPENED!!
I sent my friend a loooong time ago (last semester... yeah) a note about me being trans. Today she responded. I am so giddy about it -- she didn't make any judgments -- I quote, 'the real reason I wanted to write you a letter was because I was just wondering how everything is going. I mean with figuring out who you are and all that' -- I am pretty thrilled. She really gets it, she even said acknowledged that sexuality has nothing to do with it (in form of a question of 'uh so wait what /do/ you like').

wpeoiajfe.
 
I would have hated it if all things LGBT-related were blocked on my school's computers. For a while the school computers were my only means of accessing such information without a list of every site I'd gone to being sent to my parents. :(

So, I came out to my APUSH teacher. Or, well, I got outed.

She's the one who's taking us on the trip to Japan. We have a meeting coming up that our parents can attend, so while my friends and I were all talking with Teacher I asked my friend (incidentally the same one I bitch about all the time) not to say anything stupid in front of my mom. His response was something like, "What am I going to say? 'Hey, Ralph, when's your sex change?!'"

I tried playing that much of it off as a joke, but later on in the conversation we're taking about my aforementioned friend being gay and my teacher comes right out and asks, "So, are you gay too, or...?" Aaaand it all just kind of came out (ha ha ha) from there.

She was perfectly okay with it, which I expected from her (gay brother who she loves to death, extremely open-minded and awesome, blah), but it was still pretty nerve-wracking. She didn't really ask any questions; she was mostly just concerned about whether it was going to cause any problems on the trip (rooming arrangements and whatnot). I assured her that it wouldn't, so it was all pretty cool. She said it was good for her to know things like this so she could make arrangements if need be, and that was pretty much it.

...After my friends left she apologized for my one friend putting me on the spot like that, and I said it was okay. I asked her to please not tell anyone or bring it up, and she seemed kind of concerned when I added "not even my mom", but she agreed to.

I just don't know. I don't know whether it's finally being out to a teacher, an adult, an authority figure that makes this awesome or what it is. I even cried for a little while. But I'm still really really happy. I can't explain it. <3
 
Oh man that sounds awesome. Teachers can be really cool sometimes.

Hoho, Spaekle and Verne, outin' themselves awkwardly one person at a time.
 
Argh, I did my heaven presentation today in English class (couldn't avoid it anymore XD). Where we had to make a presentation about where our hypothetical heaven would be, and the three people we'd meet there, who heavily influenced our life.

And I chose my third person (who had to be someone we don't know yet, from the future) as my child, but rather than just the boring one I said the child never happened, and was just the image of them from when I was a kid.

And I was going to use this as an excuse to say 'I won't have a kid because I'm gay' but I kind of chickened out. :/ Then again I was rambling a LOT because of my nerves, so... but still, I wanted to do it... argh.

Spaekle, that sounds great! I get so happy when I hear little stories that prove not all teachers are narrow-minded prats. xD
 
Baw. (And spanish practice whoo)

I love queer ads. :B I still like that one you linked me ages ago... this one even though it's fairly obvious from the start. Pretty though.
 
Yeah, I really love that one. I can't pick between it and the gay-marriage-with-True-Colours as my absolute favourite :)

Such a shame that you never actually see any of these play on TV. I think a while back the D&G ones (like this) aired, but that's about it.
 
You don't need to label yourself. You're attracted to whoever you're attracted to, and that's fine. At least, that's how I think of it anyway.
 
Srsly.

Pansexual is pretty much an 'I'm special~~~' word anywho. Every time someone says it I lol cause I think pan = all and imagine them flirting with a tree.

hey baby. how about we make like trees and leave.

Wait I didn't mean to be offensive -- come back baby!

Click to expand...

haha. it's also the latin root for 'bread,' so i think of a person flirting with a loaf of bread. lol.

also, GG, it doesn't really matter what your sexuality is. labeling oneself will only cause confusion and/or sadness.
 
When I went through a period of thinking I was pan, someone heard about it at school or something, and seriously thought I was attracted to pots and pans. They didn't even think it would be a fetish, they just thought my sexual orientation was kitchenware or something. XDD

And labels suck. I've been confused as to what I am for ages, so I just go 'probably gay' and leave it at that now. Don't feel like you HAVE to label yourself.
 
I haven't adopted any particular labels, beyond "who cares really" and "girls are decent". ... but it's pretty much 'who cares'.
 
^What they said.

Really, I feel like the best way to go is to dig whoever it is you dig - regardless of gender.
 
I like whomever the hell I like. Girls seem more intriguing most of the time, but that's probably mostly because I've never had access to a girl's body.

("had access" dammit zhorken you nerd)

EDIT: ftr I keep up with this club for the most part but don't post much at all
