On a scale from 1 to 10, how supportive would everyone rank their families? I'd give mine a 4. They're not, not supportive...they just don't really acknowledge "the gay side of me" as they like to put it. They love me and all but it's clear they haven't accepted the fact that I'm gay yet.

I’d say like a 7 or 8. They try to be really supportive, they have a flag they put out, tell me happy pride and ask what I’m doing every year, they love my friends, but talking about certain stuff around them can get awkward and they sometimes let things my other family members say slide when I wish they would stand up for me/queer people more.

My dad functionally disowned me and withheld tuition payments if I ever tried to say anything he didn't like and my mom said she would make sure everyone in my family blacklists me if I ever came out.
They ended up passing away but I know my relatives feel the same. Have distanced myself and just assume to have no deep relationship once I find a partner.

Mine are supportive. My partner (ex) was always around for holidays. They never thought of him as any different than by brothers’ girlfriends/wives. They haven’t met my partner now, but that’s more his thing. They want to meet him, but for some reason he doesn’t want to. They’re not marching in pride parades, but then again neither am I. Our politics do differ a bit: They’re conservative and I’m a libertarian. I will say they really don’t like my youngest brother’s wife. So it’s not an lgbt thing at all for them. I guess on this scale probably a 9, but if generally not caring counts as support (which I think it does) then probably a 10.

One can be indifferent to certain things and still love the person. For example, I still love my brother and am indifferent with respect to his choice of spouse.

7. They’ve never really made me feel bad about my sexuality and welcomed my bf with no problem. I honestly haven’t really had deep conversations with them about my sexuality, I just kind of lived my life and waited to see if they’d reject me and they never did, which I’m really grateful for.

Same.

Need your help 🐠 I feel like I‘m always sick (flue like symptoms ~2x per month). The doctors either just treat the symptoms or give me referral for a specialist for one or more symptoms, I feel like I‘m getting nowhere with that. Any advice on what tests I can ask for that helped you in the past? Any recommendations for a more complete checkup in Manhattan (ideally covered by most insurances)? TIA!

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?

I don’t know why I can’t move on. It’s my birthday weekend and I have plans all weekend, but can’t stop thinking about this. I’ve been out with lots of great guys, but I keep holding on that maybe… one day we will be together again.

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.
