It's Pride Month and I Feel Gay

The gayer alternate version of my profile picture. That's the bisexual pride flag behind me.

It's Pride Month!
For those of you who don't know, Pride Month is a month (June) celebrating LGBTQ+ individuals and commemorating the Stonewall Riots . I'm not going to get into those things because they are very easily Google-able. Instead, this post is going to be a bunch of LGBT+-related stuff because I want to!

I'm in Washington, DC as I'm writing this, and I've seen a few houses with Pride flags hanging in the windows. It makes me so happy! Real, physical support and representation makes my heart do a little happy dance because I'm really not alone. I only know three LGBT+ people in real life, one of which I barely know. Only one of them knows I'm bi. It's nice to know that there really are other gay people out there, and that they aren't all just robots created by the internet.

The first thing I have to show you is this drawing.

This is a lyric from Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko. You need to go watch the music video, because it's my favorite video of all time and it makes me super emotional.
This line in particular is significant because it says that just because you aren't in a "typical" relationship doesn't mean you can't be happy. I don't have to marry a man to be happy. As the song says, "We will be everything that we'd ever need." I can marry a woman and adopt children and have the family I dream of.
I don't listen to a lot of pop music, but I love Hayley Kiyoko because she writes songs about girls that are so normal. Most of her music isn't like Girls Like Girls. It's something that could be on the radio, just a normal love song. I think it's important because it makes girls who love girls less like outsiders. I have Hayley Kiyoko, other girls have Taylor Swift, and they both write about love and who they love.

Speaking of families...

These are my Sims, Colette and Lucia Winter. They're lesbians and I love them very much.

Here they are with their four adopted children: Kellie, Ella, Marley, and Ryland.

Y'all... I love girls. They're just so beautiful. Their eyes, hair, hands, noses, freckles, everything. I'm bi, but... girls.
But the chance that any given girl is both gay and likes me back is very small. I've liked girls that were gay/bi before, but one I didn't know was gay until a year after, one lives three hours away by airplane, and one I maybe never found out if she was single and was too shy to ask? I'm also not out to very many people. A lot of people I know might not react well, and I think I've told all the people that matter anyway.

(I said y'all because it's gender neutral. It still feels really weird.)

This post was a mess of things smashed together. It represents me on an emotional level.
Would you like some less messy posts about LGBT+ things, like a list of my favorite books with queer main characters? Leave a comment and let me know!

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!
