I’m a 22-year-old male who’s been with my 24-year-old boyfriend for 3 years now. During the first year of our relationship, we would alternate hanging out and sleeping over at each other’s houses. I would hang out at his house with his family sometimes, and he would hang out at my house with my family. I have an amazing relationship with his mom.

After about a year or so, his dad moved back into the house with his family. His dad doesn’t know about us and thinks I’m just his friend from school. After he moved back in, I eventually stopped sleeping over because he was there, and my boyfriend didn’t feel comfortable with me sleeping there while his dad was around. I still go to the house from time to time, like after school or work, but I have to leave before he gets home at night.

Also, side note: I decided to tell my dad about our relationship even though I don’t live with him. I never had the best relationship with my dad since he’s more religious and tends to have traditional beliefs. Nonetheless, I still decided to tell him because I felt like it was the right thing to do if I still wanted him in my life. It took him a while to get used to it, but eventually he started warming up to the idea of me being gay, and he even met my boyfriend. It’s still a little rocky and strange, but back to the situation.

Anyways, it’s been 3 years and he still hasn’t told his dad about us. I would occasionally ask him when he thinks he would decide to tell him, and he would always give me somewhat of an answer like, “Soon, maybe in a couple months,” or, “I’m waiting until I finish this and then I’ll tell him.” I didn’t want to feel like I was forcing him to come out to his dad, but the other day while we were talking, it came up again and he admitted that he was never going to tell him.
This made me upset because I feel like I’m being kept a secret. It also feels unfair that he comes to my house to sleep over anytime, but when I hang out at his house, I have to leave before 9 PM before his dad gets home.

I don’t know what to do because when we were talking about this over the phone, he got irritated and called me selfish and said I was forcing him to tell his dad. Then we ended up just hanging up the call there.

We usually have a routine where we call each other, but today I decided not to call him. Then he called me later asking why I didn’t call him. I was dry with him and gave him the cold shoulder, but he wanted to act like nothing happened during our previous phone call.

Also, his birthday is coming up in a couple days, and I don’t want to bring this up on his birthday. But at the same time, I also don’t want to pretend that everything is fine when it’s clearly still bothering me.

I truly want an unbiased opinion on what I should do. Am I being selfish? How should I handle this situation?

Making this short: I’m taking a summer semester art class and there’s a guy who i really like. However, three problems: I am trans FTM (pre-transition) and I don’t know if he’s aware of that, I don’t know if he’s interested in men, and I can’t tell if he’s into me or not.

I’d like to get to know him more but im too nervous to even hold a regular conversation with him. However, every time we’re in class together I always seem to have his full attention when im talking, and I always catch him staring at me.

Also, probably important, I haven’t dated anyone IRL ever and my last IRL crush was in middle school. I’m 18 now. Help? Help please? Advice?

Hi I fully transitioned had all my surgeries, and no one knows I’m trans , so I’m officially leaving the lgbtq community because it’s just not for me no more. But I remain an ally !! But don’t get to comfortable xx wish yall the best

Okay so its basically what it looks like, I(female) had a pretty grapic sex dream about one of my bestfriends (also female)

Edit:I have worded this a bit poorly, I meant bi (I dont know a whole lot about the difference but I guess bi would fit this post better??)

Talk about a bunch of stick-up-the-asshole, losers; say hello to the Christian Nationalist Right.

These quaking, quivering Bozos are so afraid of their natural homosexual tendencies they will gleefully condemn anyone, gay, straight, trans, or gerbil fetish, if it might make them look straight.

It’s a sickness to hate anyone you don’t know simply because you have proclivities to hide, desires you can’t control, and magazines hidden from your spouse.

No matter how they couch it (apologies to JD Vance and his predilections), these hypocrites seethe with hatred because of emotions they can barely suppress, and like most cowards blame others for their own self-imagined shortcomings.

Could be worse, though. You could be related to one of these sanctimonious bastards.

Novel MAGA celebration reflects Christian fundamentalists’ never-ending paranoia

Story by Alex Henderson • 2h • 2 min read

This Tuesday, June 30 marks the conclusion of "Nuclear Family Month," which many MAGA Republicans have been promoting as a Christian fundamentalist alternative to Pride Month. Defenders of "Nuclear Family Month" often argue that they are merely defending religious values, not attacking LGBTQ Americans. But Salon's Amanda Marcotte argues that "Nuclear Family Month" is not only anti-gay — it also underscores the Religious Right's contempt for heterosexuals who don't embrace their severe version of Christianity.

"In recent years," Marcotte observes in Salon, "Republican propaganda has quietly moved away from loud condemnation of the gay community to focusing the most overt hate on trans people. Donald Trump even has a few token gay men in his closest circles, such as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who has two children with his husband…. But while it hasn't attracted widespread media coverage, Republicans have not given up arguing that LGBTQ+ equality is a threat. This year, a slew of red state governors signed proclamations intended as blatant attacks on Pride Month."

Marcotte continues, "Some states are even calling June 'Nuclear Family Month.' Others have dubbed it 'Strong Families Month' or 'Fidelity Month.' Whatever euphemism is used, they are all poking a thumb in the eye of LGBTQ+ people during Pride, as Arkansas' Republican governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, made clear when she tweeted a Daily Wire article headlined, 'Another Red State Is Counter-Programming Pride Month, Focusing On Family Instead' — as if queer people don't have families."

Gay pride events have grown by leaps and bounds in the United States, where Pride Month is now a month-long celebration held in June. On Sunday, June 7, for example, Philadelphia's 2026 Philly Pride festival reported attracted around 147,000-150,000 attendees.

Marcotte, in Salon, emphasizes that heterosexual Americans should also be worried about the motivations behind "Nuclear Family Month."

"Straight people should definitely not feel safe with these Republicans in charge," Marcotte warns. "These documents don't only demonize LGBTQ+ people; they condemn the vast majority of straight people who don't adhere to the exceedingly narrow proscriptions of the Christian right. Divorced people, anyone who has ever needed government assistance, parents who put their kids in public school, non-Christians and women who don't see themselves as inferior to their husbands all get blasted as immoral — and queer people are implicitly blamed for what Republicans see as 'dysfunction' in the lives of everyday straight people…. 'Nuclear Family Month' and other such nonsense this year reflects a resurgence in the GOP of the view that most people, straight or not, are wicked, oversexed hooligans who need to be browbeaten into depressing marriages. Vice President JD Vance has been at the forefront of this pressure campaign that wants people to marry not out of love or joy, but out of grim duty to the patriarchy."

Context

Blizzard recently hired a pretty random person to be solely in charge of updating Starcraft 2-it's a pretty old game on maintenance mode but still have a big name and a surprisingly active playerbase. He goes by Omniskeptic-he's caused a lot of controversy not just for imposing his vision and will on the game with controversial balance changes, but he's an extremely rude person who talks down to everybody. You can google/search the starcraft subreddit if you care to learn more.

The erasure of trans people

http://web.archive.org/web/20260621050000/https://old.reddit.com/r/canada/comments/1pcbkia/ontario_food_bank_usage_at_a_record_high_for_9th/nsbx23d/

Here is a post where this omniskeptic character is very clearly transphobic.

His comment isn't even true. The NDP has never stopped counting the votes of non-transgender men. By calling the inclusion of trans, non-binary, or female voices "the most disgusting and vile form of identity politics he minimizes historical exclusion of these groups.

So now it turns out he's a transphobic MRA type person. One of our greatest players of all time is Scarlett, a trans woman and it's sickening that blizzard someone has hired somebody like this on their team. Almost as if they have a history of having toxicity and discrimination in their corporation.....

He has also been kicked out of various SC2 community discords for bigotry and being toxic.

Anyway the starcraft subreddit banned me for posting this with zero explanation. It's terrifying and disgusting that people with such transphobic views are being elevated and protected this day and age. I don't know where else to post this, I can only hope this gets picked up by news sources or gains major traction on reddit. The only things blizzard cares about are money and PR, if this gets some attention, maybe at the very least they will get rid of this piece of shit.

Sorry if I come across as angry and emotional, I have faced a lot of discrimination as a trans person and seeing people protect transphobia makes me upset.

I am what some would call a femboy but for the last two years I have been struggling with hairloss. Do you guys think a hairsystem would be ok or would it be unattractive/ weird. I would opt for a mod cut. Just want some opinions
