Ah, yes, it's Pride Month once more! Happy pride month, everyone! Never forget that you're valid and wonderful and amazing no matter your sexual identity, gender, etc. We're all humans, but I think sometimes people forget that. Anyways, happy pride month again, and congrats to anybody who's had the courage to come out!

Oh my gosh, yay! It's a pride thread!!! Happy pride month everyone! I just finished painting my nails the bi flag colors, and I think they look pretty good for having done them myself. I wish quarantine was over by now so that my friends and I could go to pride, but oh well. There's always next year.

Oh yes! Looking through this thread brings back memories...
So last year right around this time, it was the last day of 6th grade and we finally could sit wherever we wanted, as long as it was within our team (since our school is pretty big, each grade is separated into 2 sections). Which meant that I couldn't sit with my usual group of friends, so I sat with another friend and her friends, most of which I didn't know very well. Apparently they'd planned to wear rainbow colors for LGBTQ+ pride month, which of course I had no idea about, but I sat there anyway. I barely knew anything about this stuff at that point, but I had fun; it was a totally new environment for me. Another girl I knew who was with us asked me, "what are you?" meaning how do you identify? So that was the beginning of me asking myself that question, especially once seventh grade started and I had a crush on a girl who later came out as nonbinary. I've switched in my mind between bi, pan, and you're-just-straight-and-going-through-a-phase, and honestly I still don't totallly know. Currently I feel like pan fits the best, but it's subject to change. I still haven't told anyone yet, but I know my parents and friends would be totally supportive of me, so it's just a matter of bringing it up. Ugh, that would be so awkward though. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great June, and that you feel valid and loved, whoever you are!
Peace out, guys. (wow that was longer than I meant it to be. I just really wanted to get that out)

I've had really similar experiences with my own identity, and I'm basically just in a constant state of questioning everything xD. You're loved and valid too, and I'm glad that it seems like you're making peace with the fact that your identity is subject to change. That's something I need to do too!

amazing thread. i read every post on here, and even though its been said before, i wanted to repeat it. Everyone on here is just so beautiful, so special in their own ways. I love how you can come on here and not get yelled at for saying who you love. i love how everyone is so supportive and kind, so loving. I love how everyone gets treated the same.
so yes, happy pride month. Me, i dont exactly know. i mean, i literally just turned 11, so i might be not supposed to know yet... i might be anything under the rainbow. but i dont know yet. i moved from SF to Tahoe when quarintine started. i left my old friends behind, my elementary school. im just taking it one day at a time, living in my own head, writing my stories and continuing to discover new things-like did you know there are winged ants? *shudders*
apolagies, i didnt mean to turn this into a thought dump. just wanted to say, luv ya'll. so happy to be a part of this community. and happy pride, everyone, remember, stay true to yourself, feel good about yourself, love yourself. and dont be afraid to show everyone who you are.
im always available for a chat. you can message me on NaNo, (same user) or whatever. i luv ya'll. [ik i said that already.]
i might be posting some art here later. currently working on Peregrine's picture, so i might not get to it. have a great day everyone. sending virtual hugs!

Happy Pride everyone!! I know it's a little different this year, but we'll get through it :). I'm bi, and I love that I have the CB (this thread especially) as a place where I can, you know, be out and myself, since I'm not irl. A few of my friends know, and they're all super supportive, which I love them for. I dressed up for the first day of Pride in my rainbow shirt and eyeshadow in the bi colors, and I drew me and my AE Bean, who's also bi, in Pride gear. So yeah, happy Pride to all my LGBTQ+ friends here, and everyone who's wonderfully supportive, you're valid and wonderful and my love goes out to you all! *hugs everyone* *throws rainbow confetti and bi flags*

Hey everyone! I haven't been here in a long time but I saw the Pride thread had been topped. I see a ton of different people at the CB now! I think it's great how accepting this thread is, keep it up I love and support you all.
From the beginning of this thread in 2018 I was new to my identity and more uncertain. Although I still have questions, I've become a lot more relaxed and certain since then. I'm so glad I found out that such a thing existed because before I felt internally broken.
My parents aren't supportive of my specific identity, so I'm not out to them but I'm otherwise out to my sister and some of my friends, both in real life and in a group of former CB users online. Having a community makes me (and us!) feel less uncertain and scared about the future. Happy Pride month!!
I started wondering about myself when I was eleven, and now, two years later, I have come out to my six of my closest friends as bi-leaning-towards-girls. Last February, I started asking myself if I wanted to be a girl, and I found myself sometimes saying yes and sometimes saying no. I usually use she/her pronouns, but sometimes I use they/them. Very rarely I use he/him. I wouldn't have been able to figure out who I was without two of my dear friends.

Oh dear, our super old pride month thread with my cringey comment on the front page has been topped again.
Happy Pride Month, everyone!
Next year, can we maybe make a new thread? :)
(June 2, 2020 - 6:15 pm)
NO. This is a TRADITION. We HAVE to see your cringed comment!
