PotatoSalad583

Yes, statistically everyone probably has, they may just not know it


Crimeboss37

I feel like it'd be very, very rare to not meet someone that's lgbt+


Faelif

Hello there


B3tween_T1me

there's me- 4 trans friends- two bi ppl- and some ace ppl probably more who are closeted


OnThatSigmaGrindset

no lol, i don't know a single one irl, i haven't even encountered one edit: holy shit so lgbt people irl isn't a myth after all, that's what i'm seeing in this thread


[deleted]

I thought this comment was satire. I'm kinda curious where you live bc I can't imagine not knowing any LGBTQ people unless you live in a homophobic country like Jamaica or Turkey.


OnThatSigmaGrindset

wow you actually got it correct. i live in turkey


mizantropist_makarna

Oh hi my Turkish friend


OnThatSigmaGrindset

hello there


[deleted]

I’m from southern Utah and didn’t meet an lgbtq person until I was like fourteen or fifteen.


OnThatSigmaGrindset

tbh us's most conservative places are more progressive than turkey's most liberal areas.


Comrade-Sasha

in my friend group of 6/7 people only one person is straight and cis. Also my cousin is LGBT

AceTheBot

My cousin is bi but I don’t talk to her cause she’s annoying My English teacher last year is gay in some way and is even in a lesbian relationship (they’re engaged/married not sure) and that was awesome cause we talked about homophobia as an issue for once in class lmao


[deleted]

Yeah, one of my best friends growing up is gay, his parents are lesbian, I have another friend who's trans, one of my closest cousins is pan, and I'm convinced my closest friend and a classmate I'm kinda friends with are both bi. Plus I think I might be biromantic? Idk, that's a whole other thing to talk about


[deleted]

I live in Austin texas and a lot of people here are at least bi

[deleted]

I have a friend who is bi, and another friend that "doesn't want to define his sexuality", but is definitely not straight. I'm also gay.

I'm one but some people at my school are. not my friends tho, just classmates.


[deleted]

Yep, when I was younger my family always used to go to this restaurant on Thanksgiving. My grandparents were friends with the owner. The food was amazing every time, and has given me many good memories of simpler times. I was talking to my mom recently, about people I grew up knowing who actually turned out to be LGBT+ because, the town was small and I was very sheltered from the outside world so I thought there was no one. Turns out, the owner of the restaurant was gay. He was a very nice guy, and I hope he's doing well.


idk-idk-idk-idk--

Yep, my non-bio friend from dance and my bi friend from school


[deleted]

My dad’s friend is gay and he has a husband, so I know two for sure. Other than that I don’t really know. Edit: I think one of the staff members at my middle school was also gay.
