The first person I ever came out to was my closest friend. I texted him “I think I’m a lesbian” and he told me he’s known for FIVE MONTHS. He always figures stuff out about me before I do 😂
Oh my gosh- hearing aimsey talk about how Christianity isn't the same as homophobia meant so much to me :,) I'm Catholic and a lesbian, and I often feel like the communities associated with those two parts of me are always at odds- many people from both seem to think they can't truly coexist in one person. Not sure if this is making any sense... it just felt really nice to hear aimsey kind of affirm that just because you're Christian or Catholic, doesn't mean you automatically hate people! People who do that completely go against the religion's whole point- God loves the gays and it's not a sin
Yeah.. I dated a pastor's daughter once, too bad her family is homophobic but her sister and grandma were cool. It's just sad that too many Christians are homophobic (including my parents). I have some very good Christian friends who aren't homophobic too.
My queer experience was a couple years ago I found out what being gay actually was from a friend. I considered this and realized that I had liked girls multiple times but I just had not realized. Later after this I tried to stop liking girls so I liked a boy instead. This guy was pretty nice but then later he was gay and said he never liked me. After this I had tried to be straight and tried to pretend that I didn’t like girls but when I was in Florida I made a new friend and she was incredibly sweet. I found myself gay panicking multiple times 😂 After that night in Florida when I hung out with my friend I got NO sleep because every time I woke up I would just think about the girl I had met and kept replaying everything that happened in my head. When I got back to my home I tried to be straight yet again because people told me it was bad to be gay. Later I found your twitch and I started watching it. I was so happy that I had found your channel and it made me feel a lot more open about my sexuality! And then I made a new friend, and I REALLY liked her. The first person I told was my best friend and he was really supportive. I hid my sexuality for a few months after this before telling a few of my friends and even my sister :) I’m not out to everyone yet but I finally realized that no matter what religion, where you live, who your friends with, or who your parents are, you still can’t decide what sexuality you are. It’s a thing you’re born with. I mean, when I’m happy or depressed it is hard to change my emotions and it’s the same with liking someone. If I like someone I can’t change my emotions, and if I do it is incredibly hard too. Thank you Aimsey, for helping me be ok with a very important part of myself.
How I found out i was lesbian was in 6th grade and my friend told me that 8% of the world was lgbtq+ so I did all the maths in my calculator to see how many people in my class would be gay the answer was around 1.5 which is funny because I'm lesbian and my friend was bisexual
My queer experience is when I was younger I saw everyone having crushes and thought "huh, I guess I need one too" then I went and robotically chose a random person that I thought looked slightly pretty and just said they were my crush even tho I felt absolutely nothing for them or anyone in general, ever. Then I grew up and had fictional crushes on horrors beyond human comprehension and robots but never irl people.
when i was 10, I rewatched liv and maddie all 5 seasons 5 times. I wasn't sure why I loved the series, just really liked dove cameron. Later realized I had a crush on her and ended up coming out as bi
Don’t wanna sound sappy but mine was realizing that I’ve experienced queer-platonic attraction in the past and still do to this day. Embracing it was a no-brainer. (I even experienced queer-platonic with fictional characters, niche actors and some content creators it’s becoming a bit of a problem but in a good way?)
My queer experience was during Covid, I was watching a lot of the Hermitcraft community with all of the extra time. One time I was tuned into Cleo’s stream, and they mentioned bisexuality. I kinda went into a rabbit hole of researching from there and realized that was me. A couple years later, and I was having a lot of dysphoria. I’m proud to say that I am a transmasc bisexual nb and I have finally accepted myself for who I am.
My queer experience is that, throughout my childhood, I developed "obsessions" with certain male characters (Yamcha from Dragon Ball, Marshall Lee from Adventure Time, Professor Venomous from OK K.O, Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil, etc). In my mind, they were like the little crushes that all the kids I knew had on certain cartoon characters. Only a few years later, after coming out as trans, did I realize that I actually wanted to be them (except Leon Kennedy, I really had a crush on him).
i HAVE to ask this. have you ever seen the fanmade MLP episode "double rainboom?" (made by Zachary Rich/FlamingoRich) if not, please react to it. it is so fucking good 😭 Edit: Can also recommend the fanmade episode "Snowdrop" (by Silly Filly Studios) but its not as good as double rainboom imo
My queer experience was a couple weeks ago.. I got my first binder bra thing. And it's felt so right so I cried. I never be so comfortable with my own body before but that time, yes, so right.
My queer experiences only really consist of crushes. My first ever queer experience was in elementary. I had a crush on this guy who i think honestly didnt like me at all, not even as a friend. At the time, i thought i couldve been bi (which to this day i pretend to be because of a religious family...). After that, I think the realisation that i was gay just happened slowly but surely. I think one of my awakening people wouldve been Benji Krol. Thats when i started to think that I was just straight up gay. After that, i just slowly but surely realised that I'm aromantic and that I'm cupioromantic. Other than this, i dont have "actual" queer experiences. I live in a family thats quite religious, and in my country, overall a lot of people are homophobes.
My queer experience and I had a group of friends and I went to a birthday party and it was at the religious church. We were spending the night that that’s where I had my second kiss with a girl who I thought was really homophobic turned out she liked me (but I like boys now I’m a gay trans man)
Here’s mine (more a journey than specific moment): Confusion lmao. First being a teen coming to the conclusion that I’m pan because I don’t have any gender preference. Finding community in a supportive queer friend group. Realising I’m ace and wait… oh hell nah…!? Straight??!? (Aka romantically into guys). Then being afraid to come out as straight to said friends (gotta appreciate the irony). Coming to accept myself and chilling for years. Until welp nope nevermind there’s no straight explanation for my feelings towards a girl this summer. Reconceptualising the countless times I’ve completely fixated on “befriending” someone (girl or non-binary) to an extent no neurotypical could top. BUT BRO I ONLY THOUGHT IT WAS PLATONIC ATTRACTION NOT ROMANTIC. IT SHOULDN’T BE THIS DIFFICULT TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE I SWEAR?? Thought I’d figured it out after 9 years but apparently not AAAAA Oh yeah also gender ew. Because questioning sexuality wasn’t enough HAH. (Btw not here to take anyone else’s love of gender!!!! Im just very agender lol). But curious. Anyone else also on the: “being thought of as a gender feels icky but aesthetically I love all things femme and go by she/her so everyone assumes I’m cis and I kinda hate it but also not enough to correct anyone because I don’t mind whatever language I just don’t want them to THINK of me as a woman or someone with gender” or is it just me? Quite specific experience but maybe someone relates. Whoever you are If u read this thanksss
My queer experience was realizing I don't like men and automatically thinking I'm a lesbian then bi because I liked both same way then after that one Jaiden animations video (those who know know) I realized no I'm aroace and tbh it was a relief to finally put my feelings in perspective. Oh also the fact I was hyperfixated on Loki from avengers specifically, thinking it must be because I thought he was hot but in retrospect no I just wanted his gender because I'm trans
At one point, I wrote a fanfic that was 10k words, about a character coming out as transgender. This was a week before I realized that I was actually transgender myself. I truly do not know how I didn't realize earlier 😅
3:09 So I actually feel very isolated from the queer community irl, and I know my college has a lgbtq+ club. I’m thinking of going but I don’t want to go alone, but i’m hesitant to ask a friend to go too since most don’t like going to school functions. It’s also an hour commute so going to one meeting would feel like a commitment that I wouldn’t be able to do. Anyone got any advice? Maybe some other functions or should I just go and see how it turns out?
My queer experience is that when I was younger i always wanted to be the brother or the husband or the dad in pretend games because I wanted to be loved by the ✨ ladies ✨ but it turns out that I'm just a little lesbian :)
I came out of the closet to my parents in the akwardest way possible- (STORY: basically we were in the car to go to Market Basket, My sister was old enough to get her permit and soon get a car so my dad was showing her random cars and then he stumbled apon a old car. Then my dad explain that tou could have get all the ladies with that in the old days. My sister didnt like it then i said "Damn, Can i get that car then" AND THEN IT WAS SILENT FOR THE REST OF THE CAR TRIP- LIKE BRO, MY SISTER THOUGHT I WAS GAY SINCE I WAS IN KINDERGARTEN BUT I DIDNT KNOW UNTIL 3RD GRADE-)
I thought I was bisexual for years and realized I was straight (I think) and had an identity crisis (that I’m definitely not still in) and I don’t know how to talk about it because I feel like I don’t even know who I am 😭 Edit: I had a conversation with my queer friend and helped me realize I’m not straight, just demisexual and pansexual so 👍

What is your queer experience? :)

My first crush on a girl was my friend when we were in year 7 or 8.
My current crushes are actresses Kylie Cantrall and Malia Baker.

Dude when she-ra and adventure time were mentioned i started screaming. I really like animated kids tv shows that are also homosexual.

AIMSEY VIDD!! Hii
As of this pride month, I've been out as Asexual! I came out a day after my birthday to my mother at 11 pm,
My queer experience was realizing I don't like men and automatically thinking I'm a lesbian then bi because I liked both same way then after that one Jaiden animations video (those who know know) I realized no I'm aroace and tbh it was a relief to finally put my feelings in perspective. Oh also the fact I was hyperfixated on Loki from avengers specifically, thinking it must be because I thought he was hot but in retrospect no I just wanted his gender because I'm trans
My queer experience was when I was in 8th grade and my brother outed me and then years later he outed me again
At one point, I wrote a fanfic that was 10k words, about a character coming out as transgender. This was a week before I realized that I was actually transgender myself.
I truly do not know how I didn't realize earlier 😅
Yoo my fellow aroaces uniting in the chat I see you
Yooo
Yoooooo

hey, life is strange double exposure is out !!!!
I thought I was bisexual for years and realized I was straight (I think) and had an identity crisis (that I’m definitely not still in) and I don’t know how to talk about it because I feel like I don’t even know who I am 😭
Edit: I had a conversation with my queer friend and helped me realize I’m not straight, just demisexual and pansexual so 👍
I’m not homophobic but I’ve been throwing up just water so I think I’m hydrophobic
Where can I submit things like this?
17:08 did Aimsey realize their fanbase is too young to remember the old internet
Is my phone glitching again or did I rlly get here in a minute??

FIRST!! HIII
My first queer experience was when my cousin and I kissed. Side note: we were 9. We called it a game. One person played the damsel in distress and the other would play the man saving them.
