    Personally I am a 18 year old pansexual female who has faced a lot of discrimination and bullying for my sexuality. Tell me about you, your struggles or just chat.

    Honestly I'm surprised that the mfp community wouldn't be more supportive of this topic. Some jokes and gone. Sucks that people feel they can't be themselves.

    Try being a gun loving conservative.

    funny because it's true.

    I know MFP likes to make jokes and then forgets about these threads, so I have a serious comment.

    One of my daughters has recently come out to me as bi. She is 13 and still learning how to navigate the world. She has only come out to very close family members. I don't care who she likes or is attracted to as long as they treat her well and make her happy. Does anyone have any good advice to give me as a mom to be supportive of her?

    Tell her what you just told us.

    Here are some resources I can think of. I’ll message you others in the next few days.

    Hopefully you’ll hear from some other parents of LGBTQ+ kids. <3

    Here's a link to a resource list in case there's anyone reading this who's in a situation similar to @Just_Mel_'s who wants to learn more about how to be an ally to a friend, loved one, or members of the LGBTQ+ community more generally.
