Loud and proud!

Today, my sister told me the reason why she went with me to a gay pride parade a few months ago was because she thought it would inspire me to come out. FML

Anyway, yes I did go to a gay pride parade because I think they should have their right to love as much as straight people should. (I also have a gay uncle, I love him all the same) So the reason I posted this was because I hated the fact that my sister just assumed I was gay for not having a boyfriend yet because i'm 16 going on 17 already, like I need to rush myself or something or because I want to live a little first before diving into that whole fiasco instead of just giving it away early. Me wanting gay people to have rights too is apparently another assumption made by her that I'm "gay", because why would I be so passionate about it? It couldn't be because i care about other human beings, no. I also found out she'd been discussing my sexuality with my mother, my father and my brother, and all her friends; despite it being none of her ******* business. The saddest part I find in all this is that they all think a girl can't be independent or NOT focus all her attention on a guy instead of trying to make something of herself first, because if she isn't following some boy then she MUST be gay. Ugh, I'm just done you guys. I'm really done. But I can tell you with all honesty that I cannot find anything sexually attractive about a woman, while we're on the subject, lol. But hey, if that's the way your cookies crumble then that's ok too. Anyway, thanks for the nice comments, peace. xoxo

Honestly though, there are worse things.... Be grateful your sister was welcoming towards it. though it is slightly unfortunate that she does think that. Either way, don't over think it to much. It shows she loves you.

We'll OP, at least if you were actually gay you know she would support you .

Did you even attempt to read OP's follow up? She isn't gay.

No I didn't see that she wrote one until now. Relax I was kidding anyways

No. Going to gay pride = supporting gay people.

Really? I guess I am secretly a lesbian since I go to gay pride parades every year. *Rolls eyes*

As a child and teenager I was a tomboy and some assumed that meant I was gay. It was irritating. I liked the outdoors, fishing, hiking, building things, and not prissy...other girls took that is "eww stay away from her, she is a lesbian!" Bunch of bitches.

I know how you feel, when I was a kid everyone thought I was gay because I always was one of the guys, and had my hair short for sports.

I've marched in the streets for LGBT rights, and it still baffles me why some people assume anyone who supports them is one of them. I marched for Palestine, too. And marched against rape, racism, and for peace on earth. Middle aged straight white dude who would stand up for ANYONE being wronged by prejudice and bigotry or baseless hatred. You are not wrong, and you are not alone. We are legion.

Are you too stupid to read the follow up? OP isn't gay.

I admire girls who don't have boyfriends and aren't out searching for one and are just living life! I salute you!

What's wrong with being gay or having people think you are gay? :T If you think that's a "fml" you deserve it.

I'm wondering what you've been doing to make her think you are gay.

my sister told my parents that i was gay to distract them from something that she had done. that led to a very awkward conversation.
