Pride feelings / discourse-adjacent
I've identified as bi for about a decade now, trans for about 8 months, genderqueer 6 months prior to that, and I've never been to pride
Honestly I've never really felt part of most communities, even LGBT+ communities, despite being queer for a long time
This year I'm gonna try to go. This last year was the first time i even started attending a LGBTA+ group.
I don't have any discourse to contribute to. I just want people to stop being oppressed. That's all.
Pride feelings / discourse-adjacent
@Shadejackrabbit I'm only two years into realizing my gayness but I might never go to anything because I feel extremely nervous in crowds and I know one of the main guys who organizes the parade and he gets real mad about the ideas of cops not being allowed in so
Pride / now it's discourse
@opendork that's valid, crowds can be a lot.
Re: the pro-cop organizer, ugh God damn it
Pride / now it's discourse
@Shadejackrabbit Absolute best wishes for your experience though! Feeling like you belong is a wild experience
