LGBTQIAP+ Pride month!!!!!!

I'm reaaaalllllyy bored today.  No one is online and I've been meaning to post something like this since the beginning of June.  Bad Anna.  Stop procrastinating.  I know.  I don't sound very prideful, do I? Anyway... um... yeah.  It's pride month!  I've had it in my siggie on ywp nanowrimo, but I haven't been able to post pride flags, and yay, I finally have a do-nothing day today where I'm able to. Don't you love do-nothing days?  Doesn't everyone?:) (Well, I had cross country this morning but it was a fairly easy practice)
Back on topic.

Demigirl:

 (I love this one!!  It's so pretty.)
 
Asexual:
 

Biromantic:
 

Aromantic:


I decided to post both aromantic and biromantic flags because I fall somewhere between the two, officially I identify as grey-biromantic.  And since I'm a demigirl, my preferred pronouns are ce/cir in case you were wondering, but I won't be too mad if you forget and use she/her. I might give you a reminder to use ce/cir, but really anything but 'it' or 'he/him' will work if you aren't sure. ;) Please don't call me 'it'.  I am, in fact, a human being. *mindblown*XD

If you want to know what any of the terms I used up there mean, just ask me in the comments and I'll gladly answer you. :)

But if you're going to say something negative towards me for being LGBT+ or the LGBT+ community in general, please either leave it out of your comment or don't comment at all.  I don't mean to sound harsh, it's just that I read and hear a lot of that on a daily basis and it's really hurtful and I don't want to see it on my blog.  Think of it this way: you didn't choose to be straight anymore than I chose to be queer; which is saying, it isn't a choice.  It's who I am and can't just change it or repent or ask forgiveness from God (it isn't a sin) and I don't want to hear why you disagree with it.  I don't think I have anyone reading or commenting that is against LGBT+, but this of course would be the post I pick up a new reader who will say something against it.

Wow.  That came out lots more ranty than I intended.  Sorry guys. :)  Anyways, happy LGBT+ pride month!

  1. Hi, I don't have anything against you whatsoever. I totally respect who people are attracted to. You're not 'queer', and I really hate the word 'straight' because it's a discrimination in itself (Yeah, I'm weird.) straight is basically saying that being attracted to the opposite sex is perfect and supposed to be that way but it's not because if it was supposed to be that way it would be that way. And everyone's different, and I don't understand how people can categorise love. People can love who they want to love. I'm slightly confused with the first part of your post though and the bit about what we should refer to you as. Sorry. :/

  2. Hi. Thanks, that's really awesome. I don't mind the word queer... I don't know, I guess I never really thought of it that way. I agree with you about the word straight though. It really does make it seem like you can only like the opposite gender and that's it. Haha, that's okay. Different sexualities and romantic orientations are mentioned in the media and stuff way more than nonbinary genders or transgender. Demigirl means that I'm mostly a girl, but sometimes I feel like a different gender and just saying I'm a girl doesn't feel right. If that made any sense.

  4. So, are you bi-sexual? (Sorry for asking loads of questions)

  5. You're welcome!
    No, biromantic, asexual. Romantic orientation is who you're attracted to romantically (dating, simple kissing, hugging, etc.), one or more genders or none at all. Sexuality is who you're sexually attracted to- which gender(s) or no genders at all you would *ahem* do it with. Grey-biromantic means my romantic attraction isn't super strong ('grey'), but I'm slightly attracted to girls and either boys or nonbinary genders (it changes, the definition of bi isn't just two as far as romantic orientation and sexuality go.) Asexual means I'm not sexually attracted to any genders and have no desire to 'do it'.
    I hope that made more sense, and it's fine, I like answering questions :)
