The letters LGBTQ are just another way of saying that Love is Love.

The LGBTQuestion: 'Who Am I?'
I knew I was different, though the only clue of a name was a chapter titled "In Amerika They Call Us Dykes" that I read when I was seven. I wasn't attracted to boys when other girls were, yet wildly curious to know what everyone looked like beneath their clothes, and a big fan of Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler magazines about the age of eleven.

My First Lesbian Relationship Pt. 2
Let me start by apologizing for taking so long with writing Part 2! I have been so busy with the wedding planning. Okay, so where did I leave off? I believe that it was with me bringing home my baby boy, Dodger. So Dodger came home with me right before Thanksgiving of 2013. My fiancee surprised me by bringing him to my cheer gym after practice. That first night home with him was...let's say, tough! He stayed up almost the entire night. He had never been away from his litter so he was having a hard time adjusting to sleeping on his own. My fiancee slept through the night like a baby while I was waking up every time he started crying to cuddle him to make him comfortable.

My First Lesbian Relationship Pt. 1
Well, for those of you who know me personally, you know that my fiancee is my first serious lesbian relationship. I have dated girls in the past, but they were short (and secret) relationships. I have always been attracted to females, but I have never been open and honest about it, not even to myself really.

Truth or Lies?
I feel like my body goes into overdrive—an almost fight or flight response—when I'm telling a secret of some kind. Do I stay here and confess a secret that could potentially ruin a friendship or relationship? Or do I just uncover a feeling so natural and innate that it doesn't feel like a secret at all?

The Same Thing
I did not believe in "love at first sight." I did not think it necessary to put so much into a relationship, and to literally give everything to another individual who could potentially take it for granted. I did not want to experience feeling broken after giving and giving. So I went through my younger years guarded.

Coming Out
Growing up with a very religious family, I was taught things that I absolutely don’t believe now. I hated every minute of my life being at church. I didn’t really understand why because I had some decent friends there. Since I was little I remember crying, begging my parents to leave me home because I didn’t want to be at church. They never listened to me.

20Gayteen
"This is something I've wanted to say for a long time....I'm gay" I hold down the like button to change it into a heart. A smile plays on my often resting-bitch-face as I poise my fingers over the keyboard, ready to comment. I think back to when this was me in their shoes; a nervous 15-year-old who was so concerned with what the world might think of me. I wonder if I should comment or private message, whether they'd like to come for a drink and chat. I begin to type...and then I remember.

Being LGBTQ+
So I'm bisexual, which means I like both guys and girls. I live in a Christian household and I'm closeted. My name is Ciara and this is my story.

Complicated Relationship With My Sexuality
I have a weird relationship with my sexuality. I identify to the world as "bisexual." I like all genders and sexes. I stick by the definition of bisexuality meaning "two or more genders." I identify to myself and to the people who understand as "queer"—a lot of people don’t know that "queer" is a sexuality though.

Straight Guys in Gay Space
Recently my friend shared an article she found online titled “The Danger of Allowing Straight Cis Men into LGBTQ Spaces.” It focused on a specific Hollywood nightclub that was being overrun by straight men. It gave an example of a man who made aggressive sexual advances to two lesbians. He would not leave them alone when they asked. When they agreed to let him take them home because they were too drunk to drive, he sexually assaulted one of them.

Being Bi-Curious
It starts by wondering; wondering what it would be like to actually be with a girl. Not as in a relationship or anything, but more in a sexual interest. Would it be different? Would it be better because she knows what she’s doing? Is scissoring really a thing?
