I get where you're coming from in being supportive, but please, don't tell a person to just "get out of the closet" - sometimes, it simply isn't safe to do so. Come out when you can do so safely, and if you can't - hold on. Find somewhere to fall back, a safe space you can stay if things go wrong. I hope that all of my fellow LGBTQIA+ panda's can do so safely, however. <3

I’m a straight woman, been an ally for as long as I can remember. I’m 56. When my son was still in school, and still to this day, one of his best friends was gay. I had a good friend that was also my hair dresser for years. When she asked me one day if I was worried that my son might “become” gay by hanging out with this friend, it was the last time I ever spoke to her. It was just the last ignorant comment on the subject I could handle.

I don't mind if people don't support LGBTQIA+ because of religion - they're entitled to their beliefs, it's when they use this religion as a reason to be hateful towards the LGBTQIA+ - there's a big difference between not exactly "supporting" it (but still somewhat accepting it) and being hateful.
UpQuarkDownQuark (Submission author) 3 years ago
Someone can “not hate” gay and trans people and still do a lot of damage. How are they going to vote with a “hate the sinner, not the sin” attitude? Are they going to speak up when their coworker is fired only for being trans? Are they going to be a father who will walk his son down the aisle or be his best man at a wedding to another man, or alienate and demean yet another child with an “I love you, but can’t support your ‘lifestyle’” message? Yes, people absolutely have the right to believe what they want, from the most ancient religions to the latest weird cult, but those beliefs, even when held without hatred, and the actions or inaction they take based on them have real consequences.

I'm asking because one of my kids says they're nonbinary. OK. But what does this really mean? And they can't explain it. To me, nonbinary and genderfluid are the same thing. You don't relate to any preconceived ideals of a specific gender and are comfortable relating to both male and female identification, which is really normal for many people, especially as they age. Like, welcome to menopause, people!

Genderfluid means that you don't stick to an assigned gender binary and transition between them based on what you're feeling at that time or feel like. (that's the way I heard/understand it. I may be wrong)
Noname 2 years ago
Very good explanation, so I thank you. I guess I've always been nonbinary /genderfluid because I've never subscribed to being the ideal woman, and especially since menopause, idgaf about my femininity - I am who I am, and I'm more of a lumberjack than a Barbie, and proud.

So, I don't know if this fits you, but I loved it- in "Aj and the Queen" Ru Paul said he likes to dress as a woman, but doesn't want to be a woman". My 1st husband was like that. I don't understand the vocabulary either, because a "trans" can me several things.

No. I don't support them. But before you downvote me, let me explain. I would love to. The LGBTQIA+ community deserves their rights to love and to live as they wish because it's normal. Here's the problem. I'm a Christian. And as a Christian, I love everyone. But my parents aren't a big fan of homosexuality or anything along those lines. My mom was driving and on the sidewalk was a classmate who could either be non-binary or trans, and my mom literally said 'it doesn't matter what he says, that is a 'he'.' Sometimes I would go off on absolutely homophobic rants just to p**s off my mom, calling them 'freaks' and 'non-humans' and my mom wouldn't have any of it. That's good. But she'll drop snide comments like that? And my sister was dating a girl in high school. Parents found out. Forced her to break up over FaceTime. And it eventually scared me when I thought I was bi-curious. Because if I realized I was actually bi one day, I would face some unwanted treatment from my parents. Honestly, it scared me into being straight again. I love my parents, but the way they think of LGBT people is too much for me. Especially since I have LGBT family members who aren't out for this same reason. So, no. I don't support them. At least not openly. Please go love who you love. You deserve it.

I understand your confusion, and I believe that you do see everyone as deserving to be themselves, but especially you deserve to be yourself without the fear of what your family thinks of you. Most lgbtq go through the exact same situations/fears as you. Don't judge yourself so harshly! Align yourself with your family who are lgbtq. You already have a support system within your family if you'd take the chance. Best wishes to you

2 of my children have declared themselves as being lesbian and nonbinary. I'm having a difficult time with getting the vocabulary correct. I've got no issue with them being themselves, but I'm having a difficult time finding positive role models for them as most gay/queer/nonbinary celebs are males who just shart on lesbian/nonbinary fems as if men invented it all. Lots of wonderful lesbian comédiennes that I adore and encourage my kids to watch, and thank God for Ru Paul to make his series and be so honest (aj and the queen) , but Jonathan van Ness frustrates me with their series that focuses on male nonbinary and doesn't include females. Equality, Johnny! I want my kids to be their best selves- They know I'm going to make mistakes in how I "identify" them, but they've told me it's OK. I love my kids as they are. Nothing will ever change that.

I will add that we are immigrants, and assimilation and acculturating is difficult enough, but when you're not sure of how you orientate, it makes life that much more difficult. My kids had a hard time going into adolescence in a foreign culture not understanding themselves, and already being treated as the "outsider". I fully support my kids to be their true selves-I want them to be happy with themselves and not conform to what any culture wants them to be.
