sonic_wachowskiSo technically its Pride month, which happens on my Earth, and it has me wondering stuff and I figure there are probably OTHER people who wondered about this stuff so I thought hey! There's probably tons of perspectives here!
So for anyone who wants to share their stories or questions...
How did you figure out what you were attracted to? Or were attracted to someone?
Also how did you tell the difference between romantic and sexual attraction because its supposedly able to be different, I'm a little hazy on that.
And because its related, gender stuff. I've never pondered that, but you know, there are probably other people who have, and we're equal opportunity in this post.
And maybe how did you figure out you were attracted to species that aren't yours and isn't like a society norm because all this kind of hit me here because I grew up around humans, so I never even thought romance was an option and then ELLIPSA happened.
Everyone be nice and try to approach this whole thing in good faith, this is a confusing subject and its hard to know all the stuff and I think worlds have real different on standards.
Also keep it PG-13. You want to talk adult details, go make your own post. We're in 'how do you know you want to smooch' levels here.
Oh! And if you know what Pride is, share your flags! I'm making a display! :D
Please discuss, and feel free to be anon, we're a free for all.
EDIT
Someone gave me a whole list of flags and I'm making a display and you know what, if you want a flag, I'll make you one! Just let me know!
((Also people ARE free to tag each other if that wasn't clear. Get your character on their self discovery journeys or share your headcanons, as you do.))
