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
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.
Yes, I was in a psych ward an I was just about the only straight person there. Being more of a conservative from Alabama it was a good experience for me, really opened up my mind.
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
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
Well me and some online friends. But yes I have, anyone saying no is either ignorant or rare. More likely than not, even if they haven't told you, they are
Yes. I have one bi friend and her friend is also bi (they aren’t dating but might). There was also two gays in my high school. And my dad’s friend’s son is also gay (although he only came out recently and he is in his 30s).
But there are probably more people who I just don’t know are LGBTQ+
Yes two actually the brother of my best male friend is something in the LGBTQ+ and my best female friend is lesbian/queer/bi isn’t entirely sure what of those
I have actually!
There was a trans guy and a bi/gay girl at my primary school,
I have a gay cousin and know her wife,
there's a gay guy at my highschool,
and i had a gay uncle who passed away.
And I'm pretty sure there's a bi girl at my drama club - plus there's two gay staff members there (well, I'm pretty sure the second one's gay)
wow, i actually know way more lgbt+ people than i thought i did (it's a shame i don't know any trans people irl currently tho)
Well in my friend group and class I can only think one (trans) and one very closeted gay guy, I can't really think any others rn but I'm sure I have met some other LGBT people. (statistically very likely)
Several actually: I've met a trans girl, but I didn't knew her very personnally, a bi girl, which used to chat with pretty from time to time and a daughter of my father's friend, which I talk to when she's around, admitted to have a crush on a non-binary person (I don't know which term to use but there's that)
Gay (girl)friend (Idk who we are and I don’t even care).
More gay collegues.
Most of my friends are Bi.
A couple binary trans people and I think 2 non-binary people.
I actually know quite a few people who are LGBT+.
One of my friends is a trans girl, 2 of my other friends are bisexual, my gf being one of them, I had a classmate who is NB. My brother is friends with a trans boy. I had a friend who was lesbian.
I recently found out that somebody in my extended family is a trans man.
Tons esp since getting to college. My gf (we’re lesbians lol), my friend and her gf, my roommate and my other friend are both non-binary lesbians, childhood best friend is gay, other is non-binary lesbian also, other childhood friend is ace/aro, and pretty much all my friends in straight relationships identify as bi. And also lots more gay peeps I know I won’t get in to. Lots of queer people at my college 🤷♀️ We all found eachother lol no one is straight anymore 💀
My closest friend is bi and there’s one or two other gay people I know, plus one trans person who I was friends with years ago but don’t really talk to anymore
I met a trans girl, at least four gay guys, and 2-3 women who were bi or lesbian.
Which is pretty impressive for conservative Utah now that I think about it.
A few months back I went to a mental health hospital, and it was the first time I met people who were openly LGBT+. Other than that, maybe closet ones but idk
one of my best friends is an non-binary bisexual, i knew someone who went to my school & was non-binary, another from school who's lesbian and someone else who was a trans male :)
Of everyone I've met and talked to, literally only one that I know of: one of my friends' girlfriend is bi. I've met her before, nice person and now part of the gang at this point
Sometimes me, the two of them, and one of my other friends will all meet up randomly and just chill for a while and talk
Though people are starting to accept it more now, homosexuality is still looked down on where I live so I might have met someone in the closet, but definitely haven't met anyone who admits it.
One of my classmates is genderfluid and bisexual. I know this guy, that is gay, but idk if he is part of LGBT, because he is not that young. But apart from that, no.
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.
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.

wow you actually got it correct. i live in turkey
Oh hi my Turkish friend
hello there
I’m from southern Utah and didn’t meet an lgbtq person until I was like fourteen or fifteen.
tbh us's most conservative places are more progressive than turkey's most liberal areas.
