[flying-cat]

Does anyone actually have any really good post-canon Toga Is Secretly Alive tgck fics or have they not been made/finished yet

[just-walk-around]

I don't read or watch the twilight saga, I only have seen some parts. But I love fanfics, I twilight fanfics are part of all the group of shows that I like. But my queer ass prefer a platonic relationship than romantic between Bella and Edward. WLW and MLM is the best friendship ever.

Edward (sad, dramatic, repressed hundred years old but still mentally teenager gay): I'M A MONSTER, AN ABOMINATION THE WORST, GOD WILL NEVER OPEN THE DOORS TO HEAVEN FOR ME.

Bella (kinda depressed, sarcastic, weird, grow up to fast, absolute disaster lesbian): DUDE, IS JUST A FUCKING SPIDER!

Bella x all female vampire (except esme that woman is her mother figure you can't change my mind) is delicious.

Alice? Friends to lovers, calm gf and too much energy gf, "sweast and t shirt is enough" "as your future wife I have full right to change your clothes" "my Future Fucking what?!" "opps spoilers" , oh you are weird I weird too! Besties!

Rosalie? Rival to lovers, tsundere gf and oblivious gf, "I fucking hate you" "oh, then what you buy me a new car?" "BECAUSE THAT SHITTY TRUCK HURT MY EYES", family intervention because they Will never get together otherwise "I'm not jealous!"You just make a boy cry because he told her how nice her hair looked!" "wow your sister is beautiful but she is a bitch, just because she is hot and smart and have a pretty smile and..." "Bells just ask her out this is painful to watch" "I don't love her!" "Bella take a moment to think about everything that happened between you two, EVERYTHING and tell me again that you don't love her" "I.. *processing information" "HOLY FUCK I'M IN LOVE WITH YOUR SISTER""Congratulations you are THE LAST TO KNOW IT! "

Any of the Denali trio ? Teacher x student, "I have met this human for one second now I love her I will provide everything for her I will make her happy Fucked up!Edward stay away", patient gf with hurt gf.

Victoria or any volturi girl? Enemy to friends to lovers, reluctant gf and resigned gf, denial, denial and more denial, the bad guys are actually doing good things, "I will never fall in love with you" "I have all the time of the world darling". Unhealthy relationship going to healthy relationship.

The other vampire clans? The possibilities are endless!.

PLUS PAPA BEAR CHARLIE JUS GOING FULL SUPPORTIVE,HE COULD EITHER BE PUTTING RAINBOWS STICKERS IN HIS CLOTHES, "YES SIR I LOVE NY GAY DAUGHTER DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT" OR HAVING NO IDEA HOW TO GO ABOUT IT, "So you like tits? I like tits too! I mean, uh" "did you need um you know advice? About you know?" "dad please you are killing me" the best Is that he wouldn't care if his daughter is dating a vampire BUT THEY ARE SO OLD, HE WOULD BE LOOKING THINKING IS THIS PREDATORY BEHAVIOR? AND BELLA BEING LIKE DAD WE JUST ARE HOLDING HANDS There will not be a shotgun he will buy a freaking flamethrower he will spend all his money for a fishing boat to buy it. Because God dammit he is a dad trying his best!.

Edward x Jacob? Enemy to friends to lovers, cross lovers, cat bf x dog bf, homophobic Edward, denial denial and more denial, supportive cullens or slightly homophobic because of their differents ages trying their best to overcome their views for their son/brother, VS the pack "my imprint is a boy" "That's okay we love you and support you anyway"" he is a vampire""WHAT THE FUCK YOU SAY?! EXILE FOR JACOB, EXILED FOR HUNDRED OF YEARS"

Edward x Emmett? I get us in trouble bf and I get us out of trouble bf, calm bf and too much energy bf, grumpy cat bf and dumb bear bf, "babe what animal is the pink panther?" "dear, is in the name" "I think is a lion" "love of my life is a panther" "I Google it panther aren't pink" "AND FUCKING LIONS ARE?" "You do something stupid again don't you" "no, I just think he will like some roses for his room and a new piano" "sure"

Edward x jasper? Learning together to live with overwhelming powers and the guilt of our decisions and mistakes.

And just for the shit of it, Edward x Aro, Carlisle going FULL PAPA BEAR ON IT.

Like it could go the hurt/comfort route or the comedic route and it will be amazing.

Sophie’s Queer YA Rec List

Hi everyone! :) I’m back with another list of book recommendations! Yes, two of the books on here cross-feature on my Dark Academia Rec List, but here, the focus is different.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my YA LGBTQ+ Rec List!

Her Royal Highness (Rachel Hawkins)

Listen, we’re starting off strong, because this one is an absolute GEM. American girl goes abroad to a fancy boarding school in Scotland. Also, she’s bi, her roommate is the princess of Scotland and the cutest haters-to-lovers situation ensues!! Read if you like fluffier reads, if you’ve ever been on a year abroad, if you’ve ever wanted to go on a year abroad, if you love Scotland or if you’re a girl who likes pretty girls! <3 (Note: This is the sequel to “Royals”, but I didn’t read that one either and you 100% don’t need to in order to understand this one.)

As I Descended (Robin Talley)

Okay, now this one is a lot darker. It’s a queer Macbeth retelling, which is a pretty amazing concept in itself. Also set at a fancy boarding school, but in Virginia. The main girls are a closeted power couple who more or less succumb to the darkness in their strive for even more power. This book is super diverse with Hispanic characters, wlw, mlm and one of the main two girls being disabled (though some people have criticised the way she was written). Read if you want a spooky story, if you love boarding school settings or if you love Shakespeare retellings!

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (Benjamin Alire Sáenz)

This book is a classic of the queer coming-of-age genre, and it reads like one, too! The style is fairly simple, which may take some getting used to, but the author nailed the narrator’s voice, the story is meaningful, the characters feel complex and real and Ari’s fight to accept himself for who he is will break your heart! Set in the 1980s in El Paso, Texas. The two main boys are both Mexican American. And for reasons I can’t exactly put my finger on, this read like a modern-day Catcher in the Rye! Read this book if you want boys fighting to accept the fact that they love boys and complex family dynamics!

If I Was Your Girl (Meredith Russo)

Can ONLY recommend this one! The main character is a trans girl who goes to live with her dad after a traumatic event. At her new school, all she wants is to blend in, but she ends up suddenly popular for the first time in her life and dating a cute boy! This book was definitely fluffy at times, but still dealt with the darker aspects of being trans in this world (trigger warning for depression, dysphoria, a suicide attempt!) Read if, like me, you’re a cis person looking to get a better idea of what it’s like to be trans or if you’re trans and want to see yourself represented! The author is a trans woman herself and the book ends with a really emotional and thoughtful author’s note (that, yes, made me cry).

You Know Me Well (David Levithan & Nina LaCour)

Out of the books on this list, this one focuses the most on LGBTQ+ themes. It’s literally set in San Francisco during Pride Week, and it’s about a gay girl who is madly in love with another girl, but self-sabotages at every turn, and a gay boy, who is madly in love with his best friend, who fools around with him occasionally but doesn’t love him back. One thing that bothered me a bit was the insta-friendship between the two main characters, but I’m here for the gay-lesbian solidarity, and I thought the wlw romance was so cute! Read for a slightly fluffier dual-perspective book with strong LBGTQ+ and coming-of-age themes and a central friendship!

We Are Okay (Nina LaCour)

Oh God, this one. Read only if you are ready to be emotionally destroyed! The main character grew up with her grandfather, and after losing him, too, she feels completely alone. Set during Christmas break of her first semester of college, which she spends on campus in New York. Alone! Until her friend/lover comes to visit and emotionally reconnect with her. Hauntingly and lyrically written, this book is an absolute beauty that had me in literal tears and made my heart hurt. Can only recommend!

People Like Us (Dana Meele)

This one cross-features on my Dark Academia rec list, because it’s set at yet another elite boarding school (yes, this is my thing) and begins with a murder. The wlw themes in this came as a very pleasant surprise! Read if you’re looking for more of a mystery thriller that still includes wlw, but not as the main focus. Personally, I had certain issues with the plot, but the book was still a very engaging, quick and fun read!

Radio Silence (Alice Oseman)

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BOOKS OF ALL TIME! The main character is Frances, a biracial, bisexual girl whose main goal in life is getting into Cambridge. Her friends see her as nothing but a study machine, but secretly, Frances is the biggest fangirl and draws fanart for a podcast called “Universe City”. The book is all about her close friendship with Aled, who turns out to be the podcast’s creator, academic pressure and figuring out what actually matters to you in life. I connected strongly with the themes of working so hard toward certain goals and not being seen by your friends for who you really are. Read if you want the most adorable platonic friendship EVER (between a bi girl and a demisexual guy), internet culture being represented accurately, wlw and mlm and an incredibly relatable main character!

Autoboyography (Christina Lauren)

Tanner is bi and was happy and out when his family still lived in California, but is forced back into the closet, basically for safety, when his family moved to Provo, Utah, where there are more Mormons than non-Mormons. His best friend Autumn convinces him to sign up for a very special class with her in their final year of high school, where the idea is that every student writes a novel. This is where Tanner meets Sebastian and falls head-over-heels! The problem? Sebastian is Mormon and not allowed to be with another boy. Even worse? He’s the bishop’s son! Read this one for two adorable boys actually going through something incredibly hard together and breaking your heart in the process! What I loved about this was that religion was shown in its full complexity, the good and the bad, and Sebastian’s struggle was so realistic! Also, this love story was much more high stakes than the usual “I’m sure he doesn’t like me back!” non-issue and it really drew me in!

I Was Born For This (Alice Oseman)

Another Oseman book!! (Spoiler alert: It’s also very good!) Told in dual perspective. The first one is Fereshteh, who tends to go by the English translation of her name: Angel. The biggest source of joy in her life is the popular boy band “The Ark”, and she plans to go to London to finally meet her best online friend in person, then go to an Ark concert together with her. The second perspective is Jimmy, a trans boy and one of the three members of the band. Things definitely don’t go as planned that week in London, Angel and Jimmy actually meet, chaos ensues. Read this if you’re looking for a fandom-based story that just gets internet culture and also has a very diverse set of characters! But be prepared for this to actually become very dark and intensely emotional at times! (The characters, especially Jimmy, were struggling more mental-health-wise than I had expected, and it wasn’t always easy to read, so be safe, everybody!)

These are the ones I’ve read so far, but don’t worry, I’ll update this list soon with many more! Already on my TBR (and in some cases even already on my shelves!) are These Witches Don’t Burn, Let’s Talk About Love (asexual main character!!), Tash Hearts Tolstoy (another asexual main character!) and I Wish You All the Best (non-binary rep!!!)

#threestepromance #tsr

summary: “new town, new me” is a cliche mantra people say when they head somewhere new -- knowing they have the chance to reinvent themselves and leave their ghosts behind. for artemis, this saying is entirely true in every sense of the word. since her transition during vet school, she had always dreamed of getting away from the town she lived in and live entirely as herself even though her friends, family, and now ex girlfriend had been supportive of her. and when she found an opening for a needed vet in a small coastal town, she had immediately applied.

ember has always lived life through the camera, always off in her own world on an adventure in different parts of the world. there had never been a time in her life where she had felt at ease where she is, always bored and seeking thrill and daydreaming of meeting her future wife in a grand and unforgettable way. yet, she knows how impossible that is and knows that soulmates don’t exactly exist and questions the love at first sight notion.

until she meets artemis one night in a bar.

characters ;

artemis - 28 years old, lesbian, trans. she’s a laid back woman with a go getter attitude. she is a fan of olden day horror movies and works as a vet. she prefers dogs over cats, rainy days, and being able to sleep in. may or may not have a minor addiction to coffee.

ember - 27 years old, lesbian. a spunky woman with a heart of gold. she has a habit of talking too much, burning her food, and running late. the camera is her best friend, and lives entirely in a daydream. she wants to work for national geographic, but currently works for the local newspaper. has difficulties reading the atmosphere at times, and can be quite dramatic.

sky - 27 years old, bisexual, non binary. they’re ember’s closest friend, and has been since childhood. they tend to keep ember more grounded, and are generally supportive of her future dreams. they’re snarky and work as a vet tech at the same veterinary hospital as artemis does.

mason - 30 years old, gay, trans. newly engaged and always up for an adventure, mason is ember’s cousin. he tends to encourage embers’ more hyperactive side without meaning to. he works as a math teacher at the local high school.

ezekiel - 31 years old, gay, cis. he’s mason’s soon to be husband, and has kept his rebellious streak from his teen years. he absolutely loves conspiracy theories and shares a love for old horror movies. a flirt by nature, anything he says can make most people swoon and blush. he works as a chemistry teacher at the same high school as mason.

aurora - 28 years old, lesbian, cis. artemis’ supportive ex girlfriend and confidant. they broke up due to growing apart over the years, and due to aurora’s job as a flight attendant. she’s kind and quite shy.

paisley - 25 years old, asexual, cis. just graduated as a pharmacy tech, paisley has a dream of opening up her own pharmacy one day. she works at the local hospital currently and is in a relationship with sky.

eliana - 26 years old. aromantic asexual, cis. eli has a few novels published under a pseudonym. she hopes to make it big in the writing world one day, but so far, no luck. she had recently moved to the small coastal town of lakewood just a year prior, and enjoys hiking and sporting events. she’s currently working as a barista but hopes to get hired as a history teacher at one of the two high schools.

nova - 30 years old, lesbian, cis. nova works at the local gay bar as a bartender -- she knows her way around the kitchen and makes a mean drink. she’s been married for the last five years of her life, and acts as a mother hen to the younger patrons. she and her wife are currently hoping to adopt, and have a two year old. she is also a drag king in the local drag scene, and goes by Miles.

SCENE ;

The bar is nicely lit, with a large rainbow flag hanging behind the bartender, and the atmosphere is calm -- much calmer than I had expected it to be. But I guess large cities and smaller towns have different vibes, and at least here, there’s no expectation to get wasted.

“I guess I’ll have an aviation,” I tell the bartender as I look around. I’ve been here two weeks, and this is my first time actually going out and socializing. My only outlet before this had been Aurora and Zatanna, but dogs aren’t much for conversations and Aurora had been on a trip to another country and couldn’t talk very much or for very long. And as much as I’d like to call my parents to let them know I made it, I’m still not quite ready to speak with them.

When I announced that I was moving, mom had cried, saying that she had always dreamed of her family always being close by and coming home for Sunday dinners but now, that would be impossible. Dad was a little more supportive -- but asked if it was because of another woman, and when I told him no, he was slightly disappointed.

“So, are you new around here?” The bartender asks as she sets the drink down in front of me. When I give her a quizzical look, she gives me a sheepish smile. “Just haven’t seen your face here before.”

“Oh. Ah. Yeah, quite new,” I rub the back of my neck. Why is talking to women so hard? “Decided to check this place it. It’s quite chill.”

“Yeah, it is,” The woman agrees. “I’m Nova, by the way.”

“Artemis,”

“Hey, Nova!” A voice calls out and I turn to look at the speaker. A woman stands close to me, hands on the counter, her hair falling over her shoulders, messily and there’s a ray of light shining around her. I can’t help but stare. “Could I order a pink vodka lemonade and two whiskey sours? Mason just got engaged so I’m treating him and Ezekiel tonight!”

“Sure thing,” As Nova works on the drinks, this seemingly angel takes the seat next to me and watches her intently. “So, newbie, what brought you to Lakewood?”

“Work,” I answer as I take a sip of my drink. Red hot alcohol races down my throat. “And needed a do-over, I think.”

“Makes sense,”

Angel-girl looks at me, her pretty brown eyes wide. “Oh? You’re new here?” Before I can answer, a large grin breaks across her freckled face, and I feel mine heat up. “I’m Ember!”

Ember. Ember. 

[gone-to-oregone]

So, for pride, I thought I’d share my story (that I promise relates to Starkid, so bear with me) (also I use qu**r as a “label” of sorts in here, just a warning?) (Also there’s a bit in here about homophobia and dysphoria, which I’ve starred, and I starred the part where I stop talking about it)

I was in middle school when I’d first dipped a toe into the world of being queer. A girl moved to our school system after being homeschooled prior, and she was the most beautiful human I’d ever laid eyes on. Her smile could light up the night sky, her hair was silky and shiny, and she was a dancer so calves. I realized, Holy shit, this isn’t like anything I’ve ever felt before. Later that year, I came out as a lesbian. Before that, however, while we were waiting on our club to be called, my two best friends and I (the cute one mentioned prior, and my best friend since kindergarten) were in the cafeteria with the other middle schoolers and we were just dicking around, as eleven year old middle schoolers do. Two girls, I believe they were eighth graders, looked at me with a sneer, and asked, “Are you bi?” Innocent eleven year-Old Tay had never heard of such a thing! Bi? What was that?!

Flash forward to eighth grade, when I started having feelings for a tall ginger we’ll call A. A was very handsome, still is, with nice freckles and a funny personality. He revealed he, too, had feelings for me, so we started dating. Huh, thirteen year old Tay thought. If I’m dating a guy, I have to be straight, right? We dated until February of our freshman year of high school.

Speaking of high school: freshman year was a wake-up call for young Tay. Fourteen years old, confused as all hell. Then, I laid eyes on another gorgeous girl, we’ll call her K. K was two years older than me, with adorable glasses, a warm smile, and a loud personality. She later became my big, and the girl I called my second mother. But that didn’t stop the feelings I had for her. So I realized, huh. Maybe I’m not straight, maybe I’m gay.

That year, a few of my friends had come out as bi. There was that word again, “bi”. I didn’t know what it meant, so I asked one of them, and she told me it was when you’re attracted to more than one gender. That was the biggest fucking wake-up call for fourteen year-old Tay. Finally, finally, my feelings had been put into words. I was bi.

The next year, when I was a sophomore, I joined the drama club at the request of K. She said I’d do really well, and I was already in my second year of the class the woman running the club taught, so I said hell with it, and I joined. I was nervous as hell when I auditioned, and I did so with a My Little Pony monologue. I kept staring down at my feet the whole time, but someone’s soft clap to the side made me look up. It was a boy, a senior, with long blonde hair, dashing wit, and a charming smile. He was all I (thought I) ever wanted, so we started dating. I went to his prom with him, and he was my first kiss. We broke up that summer, however, because we “didn’t talk very much”.

Junior year came, and I was still in the closet about my bisexuality. My friend, who’d become my best friend in eighth grade, had a few classes with me every day, we’ll call her A. I came out to a mutual friend, who told her, and she came to me and asked me why I didn’t tell her. I told her it was because I was nervous, and she came out to me as bi, too, and that she had feelings for me. She was dating a sleezeball at the time, but she wanted to break up with him to be with me. She brought him to homecoming, he pissed her off, and she started crying, so I danced with her. A few days later, she told me she’d broken up with him, and we started dating. Being in a small, conservative town, however, I was super nervous to be in a public relationship with a girl. We went to prom together, and she was my first wlw kiss, and my first time (and several more times after. Sorry, y’all)

A is very loud and proud, and I still love her dearly. We dated until around March of this year, and we were engaged, but some things fell through financially with me, not to mention my parents didn’t approve of our relationship (but I’ll get to that in a bit). Anyway, she’s doing well, she’s a nurse, and she’s dating a wonderful guy and they’re both very happy :)

In October of 2016, I came out to my parents, my gram, and my sister. My gram, conservative as she is, told me that it was okay and she still supported me in everything that I did. My parents, on the other hand...

** warning, this may be triggering to some of you, and I’m definitely crying writing it **

My mom says she still loves me, but in that stereotypical “I love you but I don’t love that you’re gay” kind of way. My dad’s worse about it. He hated A, and a bunch of shit went down I’d rather not talk about on the internet. Anyway, he sat me down one day and asked if I loved A. I said yes. He asked if I wanted kids with her, if I wanted to have a life with her. I said yes. He looked me dead in the eye and told me that it would never be the same, it wouldn’t be like what he and my mom have. No matter how hard A and I tried, we wouldn’t be a real family. And he told me that if A and I had kids, he wanted no part of them. I cried for hours that night, and had a full-blown panic attack because of it. He’s the backbone behind my dysphoria.

** now I’m back to talking about Starkid here we go **

When I finally started coming to terms with the fact that I was bi, I found Firebringer. Suddenly, there was this whole show with two WLW characters, bisexual ones at that, who were doing just fine. They ended up together, and got married, and ruled their dumb tribe together, and it was beautiful. And it gave me hope. It gave me hope that I could be happy as a bisexual woman in a relationship, with a man or with a woman. I could be happy. That was the main thing.

Jemilla is my absolute favorite Starkid Character. I resonate with her so much, with my dislike for change, and my stuffiness, and my bossiness, as my sister so fondly calls it. But most importantly, because she’s bi. She’s so shamelessly bi, and polyamorous. But her being bi isn’t the focal point of the story, and that’s why Firebringer, strange and full of plot holes, is the single greatest gift that Starkid could have ever given us.

Alright, I wanna be done crying now (which I honestly didn’t expect to do oof) so I’ll end this here, on a lighter note.

My name is Tay. I’m bisexual. I am here, and I am not ashamed.

Happy pride, everyone, I love each and every one of you very much. If you ever need anyone to talk to, about anything at all, and you feel there’s no one to turn to, you can always come to me. My asks and messages are always open (speaking of, I’ve fixed my messages, thank you Elle for telling me they were broken) and I will never turn anyone away.

I love you, and keep being totally awesome 🤙

[wintersqueenmab]

Silly, do all the questions you definitely deleted. All of them.

Well, since you asked so nicely, sure. Under the readmore to save dashboard space.

1. how tall are you?

I’m 5 foot, 9 inches tall, or 175 centimeters for those of you using metric units.

Softer than I’d like, but otherwise pretty standard.

3. what is your favorite part about your body?

I do like the color of my eyes, and I think my hands are pretty nice.

4. is your current hair color your natural hair color?

Partially, yes. However, the top of my head is currently a cotton candy riot, so not that part.

5. are you more outgoing or more shy?

I like to pull off the shy -> outgoing combo for maximum damage.

6. are you more femme or butch?

Being AMAB, I’m pretty sure I’m automatically on the butch side. Not where I’d like to keep it, though.

7. are you tol or smol?

I don’t think 5���9″ is very tall, or very small. The middle it is, then.

Definitely vodka aunt.

Does eating popcorn seeds count?

I’m a sucker for bass boosting in the middle of otherwise normal videos.

Getting to know systems and the best way to exploit them is pretty dang neat.

A dumb play my friend made in a League of Legends match.

40. do you really, truly miss someone right now?

I’ll only date you if you treat me with respect.

I don’t have any real preference, but I think I’d feel weird if I dated someone significantly younger than myself.

47. describe the person you’re in love with/have a crush on in great detail.

That’s not fair; I have too many crushes to single anyone out. One of the pros/cons of being poly.

48. do you have any kinks?

Look, there’s a whole ass list here. Gotta get more specific.

49. first thing you notice in a person?

Probably their voice if I’m actually interacting with them. If I’m seeing them from afar, it’s their hair.

98. what is love to you?

Love is caring about another person more than yourself. It’s wanting the best for them at all times. It’s being happy when they’re happy and being sad when they’re sad. It’s seeing the universe in their smile, and glimpsing eternity in how they make you feel.

99. ask me anything.

[gettin-bi-bi-bi]

Hey! Lovely page. I have a situation I need some help with... (I'm sending 2 separate asks so I can explain better.) I'm a bi girl; I wouldn't call my dad biphobic, as he's not violent or hateful towards bis... but he expresses that he doesn't think bisexuality is real, and he thinks anyone who says they're bi is a lair/faking it. My older sister is openly bisexual and my dad never treated her badly per se, but he still is open about his negative opinions. Last fall I came out to my Mom (...)

(it’s me again) My mom accepts bi folks, to my relief, but I think she has trouble understanding it. I came to her with the intent more than anything to let her know I was with a girl at the time. (I had a GF and I felt really guilty not telling my mother about it) Mom was very accepting… but she began outing me!! She outed me to my whole family and extended family. What’s worse is, she outed me incorrectly: she told them I was a lesbian! She did not tell them I was bi. Continuing in a 3rd ask

(part 3) I find NOTHING degrading about being a lesbian. For a long time in the closet I did identify as one, because I liked girls before I started liking guys. But I’m bi, I didn’t even tell my mom I was lesbian. But now my whole family thinks of me differently, and thinks of me as something I’m not. Here’s a big part of it: I’m the definition of girly-girl. I’m totally the most feminine pink sparky girl ever. And my family, especially my parents, are stuck on stereotypes. (continuing)

(part 4) MY PARENTS AND FAMILY ARE PUSHING STEREOTYPES ONTO ME. I’m not a butch but they think that since I’m a “lesbian” that I should be! Which is damaging because I’m Bi and they don’t understand that. It’s also assuming that WLW can’t be feminine, which isn’t true. I’ve had a crush on a boy from school since October and when I told my mom, she was confused. My mom then without my permission, told my dad, then he mentioned it in front of me and laughed in my face. What should I do???

(part 5, sorry this is long!) Lesbian stereotypes are bullshit, but regardless I’m a ballet dancer and I wear makeup on a daily basis. I don’t fit boyish “d*ke” stereotypes anyways. So I’m really uncomfortable with my family trying to label me like that. It’s hard to talk to them because my Dad is still unaccepting of bi people, and I’ve been in this situation for 8 months. I need it to stop but I don’t think they’ll understand.

So, first of all I disagree with you when you say you wouldn’t call your dad biphobic. Saying that bisexuality isn’t real and that bisexual people are liars or just faking it and perpetuating other negative opinions about bisexuality while also laughing at you and not believing you (or your sister) is exactly what biphobia is. Biphobia isn’t just being physically violent towards bisexual people, it’s also invalidating them and repeating false stereotypes. Biphobia is being a parent of a bisexual child and still not being willing to educate themselves about bisexuality. Having two bi kids schould be more than enough reason to want to actually learn more about it and deconstruct their own negative misconceptions but they don’t seem to have any intention to do anything in order to be accepting and supporting parents.

This goes for your mother as well. You came out to her as bisexual which she seemed to have completely ignored and instead thinks you’re a lesbian. That, again, is biphobia. If she doesn’t believe bisexuality is real and that you must be either gay or straight - that is biphobia!

And also she had no right to out you in front of anyone without your explicit permission. Doesn’t matter if she outed you as bi or gay - it’s an act of violence to out queer people in front of others. It could put you into danger (e.g. if a family member is very queerphobic and would be physically violent towards you), she subjected you to more verbal queerphobia from your family and last but not least: she robbed you of your self-determination. She has had NO RIGHT to take your coming out away from you. When, where, how and to whom you want to come out is YOUR decision and yours only. She took this from you and that, again, was queerphobic violence.

So... personally, I am angry as fuck at both your parents and I would kick their biphobic asses if I ever met them. Anyway, I know that doesn’t help you right now. My advice would be to a) find support in your sister and give her the support she may need aka stick together! it’s good you have each other! b) don’t give a fuck about your parents. They have disappointed you and until they apologise and show that they want to better themselves, then - in my humble opinion - they don’t deserve the privilege to be a part of your life.

Of course you could keep correcting them when they call you a lesbian, tell them that “no, I’m not gay, I’m bisexual. As I’ve told you, you know, a million times before!” but you don’t have to waste your energy like that if you don’t want to. You could also tell them that either they learn to accept you and your bisexuality and stop invalidating you or you don’t see a way how to mend this severely injured relationship you have right now.

I may sound harsh and my way may not be your way but... I don’t have any pity for queerphobic parents. If they want to play an active part in their children’s lives then it’s them who’ll have a lot of work to do to change their “opinions” because right now they are hurting you (and probably your sister, too).
