Today I seen a cute lesbian couple holding hands and I thought it was the best thing I’ve seen all day xx

[vktrbnd]

I’ve never been embarrassed of a straight couple kissing in the show, but I was always obsessed with wlw couples, I would watch the whole show just for that couple, even though those weren’t the main characters

[keylajuandediosloo]

1) the fact that I always felt the obligation of pick a boy to have a crush on him (cause my friends always talks about boys and i didn't want to be excluded)
2) in every tv show or movie, I've always looked for the prettiest girl
3) compare myself with other girls
4) never want to dance with a boy or kiss him at a party
(sorry for the bad english but it isn't my native tongue) hope these could help you to figure it out

[eeezzzrrraaa]

I always knew I liked girls but I thought of it as "I'm a girl so I like girls, It's like self-love" yeah

[galpal]

1) the total lack of male celebrity crushes 2) the OVERWHELMING love for female celebrity crushes 3) the intense urge to be best friends with every female English teacher / Drama teacher / director / supervisor 4) always playing the "boyfriend" in pretend
...
Yep, definitely gay! 😅💕🏳️‍🌈

Im realising watching this how much religion and traditional attitudes created such a block for me to even entertain the question whether i was genuinely straight, the past few months have been eye opening finally taking that time to myself and reflect on everything and listening to other lesbians and finally realising why "my husband" to me sounds so unatural, because saying "my wife" fills me with happiness. Thats what i want, took me a while, but i finally feel happy i know who i am.

I realized I was a lesbian this year and the biggest sign I was gay from when I was little was
in preschool i wrote a story (well like i told it to one of the teachers at my preschool and they wrote it down for me) and the story was about two mermaid princesses who save the world and at the end they get married
one of them was the same name as me and the other was the same name as my best friend

[maryflowers]

This is so relatable, I remember being really uncomfortable when my friends were like “omg! (Insert man name) is so cute!” Turns out I was just gay lol

[Shae]

Before I realized that I was gay, I grew this obsession with the character Liesl from the movie The Sound of Music. Many people love her dress in the duet she sings with Rolf, but i definitely went to extra mile and tried to find a dress as close to hers, i memorized the choreography to the song and her scenes, and I even bought the actress’ books on the movie🙈🙈

I actually found out I was gay only this year as I learn more of different sexualities and the lgbtq+ community and got introduced into it by gay audios and also gay moments in movies/tv series and eventually trying to find out if I am gay through watching videos like yours and other gay content creators and that's when I realised that I am gay and honestly I am happy I am.

And now to think about it I was never attracted to boys at all and I could never relate to my friends calling certain boys cute and when they talk about boys, I don't join in their conversations cause I really cannot relate and it doesn't sit right with me.

Also there were also signs that I realised now that I had been gay since I was in primary school even though at that time I never knew what sexuality was. There was always this friend of mine that whenever I see her, I always felt this fuzzy feeling and always felt more awkward than normal when I am close to her and have trouble to even start or have a conversation with her cause I would I trip over my words really often.

So yea now looking back at these moments it's probably cause I have a crush on her back in primary school. Anyways sorry for the lengthy comment but great video as usual Lauren! 😄

When I was in kindergarten I remember thinking “if I were a boy I would have many crushes” and there was also this one celebrity who I was like “oh my god if I were gay I would like her”. The person was the person who played Meredith in the second parent trap

When I was little, I felt a certain attraction to girls and I think I knew I was bi the whole time, I just never realized it until recently. I feel like I 60% like girls and 40% like boys. Unfortunately my family is kind of homophobic 😞 and I still haven’t come out yet…

1) the time that I told my best friend that I didn't want to marry a boy in year 1
2) the time that I had a boyfriend in year 7 and couldn't explain to him why I liked him
3) I wrote a story with lesbians in it and I thought I was straight
4) Lesbian couples made me really happy and I thought I was straight
5) I had this one conversation with my dad in which I mentioned my future husband or wife (I thought I was straight)

[daisyflower]

I had crushes on girl cartoon characters, had the biggest crush on Rihanna, thought kissing girls seemed much more fun than kissing boys, already knew I had no interest in marrying a guy when I was older infact I thought it would be the worst thing to ever happen to me, when I played Dollies I made my favorite doll gay and I made my sim gay when I played Sims.

[kates]

your videos always have such a positive vibe

[stupiddreamer]

I though it was just a coincidence, but since always my favorite characters were all girls, always, then, in school, I never felt anything for a guy, so everytime one was nice to me, I used to think I was falling for them... no, I just started liking them, in a friend way, because it was a point where there was like 5 guys, so yeah... everytime someone said "omg * male character/actor/person * is soooo attractive"... I couldn't relate to... When playing like a Family with friends, cousins... I was the dog... I never wanted a husband in the family, just a dog... my barbies? Lesbians, and yes, I had a male character, but they were lesbians anyway :)

I thought I was bi, then pan, but no, just a lesbian, a lesbian who like her pan best friend but she just like me as her friend so... yeah... now I'm sure I'm lesbian

The love hate relationship with Victoria secret was the deal breaker for me

[niat]

Before I was introduced to any lgbt+ characters in tv shows and movies I had a harry potter obsession. When I talked with my friends about the cast everyone had a crush on daniel or tom and I just really liked Emma (I even had an ig fan page). I watched every single one of her movies, her interviews and now when I look back I realize how gay this was. Also, the first time I saw 2 girls kissing was on the tv series "the 100" and I was like girls can do that? I guess around that time I started questioning my sexuality. Anyways thanks for sharing this video and doing this content where a lot of people feel seen and comfortable while watching!

When I was obsessed with Twilight, I always said I was Team Alice. Definitely a sign! lol

[ceekay]

Oh, I was late to my own sexuality! Being a fat nerd, it wasn't my focus at first. Then the anxiety and trauma meant I was REALLY avoiding potential dates and relationships - not that I was attracting much attention or was good at going places and socialising. Once a guy asked for my number and I panicked, said I didn't know it and needed to go check (I was travelling Europe, so this was true), then just stayed in my room for the rest of the night to avoid him.


I distinctly remember walking across my uni campus and suddenly just being like "oh yeah, girls are an option for me too!". Like, my best friend and housemate was gay, and we had spent all our time at university hanging with the Queer Collective doing queer things, but it didn't really click that I could also have options?

But almost every actor I would really admire for their "acting skills" was female. I wasn't obsessing over sex scenes or anything like that, but I would seek out and watch as much of their filmography as I could. Looking back, I think they might have been squishes (asexual crushes).


TL;DR: I identify as queer (knew and accepted my weirdness before my sexuality, so it seems easy and makes sense). If you want to get specific, I would say panromantic demisexual.
I didn't enter my first official relationship - or have my first kiss - until I was 33. I'm not sure if we're still in our relationship, taking a break to work on our own issues, or if we are officially broken up. Mental illness and neurodivergence be like that, I guess. I think we are better as friends, but they kind of do relationship things with their friends anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter as long as we are both happy and respecting each other's boundaries? True queer relationship mess lol.
