i never say lgbt, it feels heavy, especially with the full lgbtqia (I already don’t know what can come after)
i use gay for any kind of not straight sexuality, and queer to me also includes trans stuff, ace, aro…
we’re not cis and or straight, we’re queer
i’ve never liked the idea of having to come out of the closet. I want to be able to say “oh, my boyfriend cooked my lunch, I don’t know what spices he used, i can ask him”, without it turning into “oh i didn’t know you were gay, thanks for letting me know, so brave” or something weird. we were talking about lunch, not who i like to sleep with
