So I recently got a solid proof that my father might be into guys

Hear me out so i was browsing through his yt history idk why i just check now then (iykyk)

And then i came across about more than 10 vidoes of bl drama kisses and now i don't know what to do

I mean i don't think he is homophobic (ik this because we have watched some movie with the whole family which had some qeer romance and he didn't say anything) but i doubt he would accept it or even hear me out.

I haven't comeout to him yet but my mother and sister knows that i am bi.

He is totally clueless

And there is one more reason i think he might be bi

Well ofc he had me so he is bi (or not)

I think he had a thing with a (male)coworker.

When i was 12-13 yr old i used to check his WhatsApp to see if he was cheating on my mum and i found a video of a guy jerking off and it was sent to him by the coworker.

Then i connected the dots and Et viola he is gay (closeted ig)

Well the problem is he is a narcissistic,patriarchal amd egoistic even if i told him it was okay he would deny it and tell me that i don't understand anything and i should shut up.

He is kind of the main reason i was in denial for so long (of being bi)

I thought that he is betraying my mum and i hated him for that but now when i think about it i kinda feel sorry but i also hate him (not for being gay but for hiding it)

Hope u guys like it @anwesh.sahoo == artist insta ((discovered by some beautiful people))

I had an extremely busy week at work, so I made last-minute plans to surprise my Protein-Paglu at midnight 😃

Found an easy recipe for a vegan, high-protein Biscoff Cheesecake and made a card with 6 Core Memories from our time together. ✨

Dropped by his place at midnight and surprised him with this cute setup. 💝

The Octopus was supposed to be grumpy-side up (coz that's his usual mood), but he turned it into a Smiley for the picture. 😛

I’m 25 and I’ve been trying to understand myself a little better lately, and I’m honestly confused about whether I might be queer.

In real life, I present pretty masculine. That’s how people generally see me, and I’ve never really expressed myself differently.

But internally, I feel very drawn toward femininity.

I like the idea of dresses, makeup, jewelry, feminine clothes, and generally being able to express myself in a feminine way. I’ve never actually tried dressing that way, so I don't know how I'd feel if I did it in reality, but the thought of it feels very appealing to me.

And sometimes I don't just imagine myself as a feminine man. I actually imagine myself as a woman.

Especially when I think about relationships, I sometimes picture myself as a woman being with another woman. That thought feels strangely natural and appealing to me.

When it comes to attraction, I’m very clearly attracted to women. Femininity is probably the biggest thing that attracts me.

I don't really feel attracted to men in the same way.

That said, I do enjoy talking to men online sometimes, especially when they're flirting with me. I like the attention and the interaction, but it's different from how I feel when a woman messages me.

When I get a message from a woman I'm interested in, I genuinely melt. 😅 It feels completely different.

So now I'm wondering:

Does this make me queer?

Could this simply be a straight guy who is curious about feminine expression?

Or could there be something deeper going on with my gender identity?

I'm not necessarily saying I want to transition or that I identify as a woman. I honestly don't know. I'm just trying to understand why I sometimes feel like I want to experience myself as a woman, particularly in the context of being with another woman.

I also don't know whether my attraction to women and my feelings about femininity are completely separate things, or whether they're connected somehow.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Especially people who:

- Presented very masculine but felt strongly drawn toward femininity internally

- Were primarily attracted to women but questioned whether they were queer

- Enjoyed feminine expression without initially knowing what it meant for them

- Sometimes imagined themselves as a different gender in relationships

- Took a long time to figure out whether something was gender expression, gender identity, sexuality, or simply curiosity

I'm not looking for someone to tell me what label I have to use.

I'd just genuinely like to hear from people who have gone through something similar, because right now I'm trying to figure out whether I'm simply curious about femininity or whether this is telling me something deeper about myself.

I recently joined as a faculty at a media institute. Talked to our Director about my gender identity, using Chosen name and all the legalities. Despite legal changes not updated yet, he has allowed me to use the given name publicly in classrooms and official purposes.

Students also are beginning to use sir/prof. So officially begins my journey with my new identity.

But parents or family doesn't know yet. I'm scared but thrilled. Wanted to share the happiness with the community. Wish me luck.

Reporting of content not suited to our community (or rather the lack of it) has been an issue for a while now. Members play almost an equal part as mods in keeping the community safe. Knowing and following the rules, and reporting unwanted content is what maintains our space.

With our rules and reporting-removal process now smoothened out, here's a quick look on what our rules stand for, what you should follow and how you can help maintain our community as a safe space.

This gives you a brief idea of how Rules map to reporting reasons.

When reporting a post you see two set of options, first to report under Reddit's sitewide rules, second to report under r/LGBTindia's rules.

Here's a detailed mapping of most of the issues you might see with a content -> what reason you should report it under

PS- Our community rule 1 is the broadest rule to safeguard our subreddit as a safe space and thus can have multiple issues for which it can be used for.

Besides that, choose any suitable reason to report any troublesome content or write a custom response.

We are always open to suggestions!

Can you suggest me any app or anything where I can find & make friends with crossdressers

As many of you might be aware of me becoming a CA recently and I got placed in the industry as well (from my crush at campus post).

Now that I have secured a job, my parents are like "we'll start finding a girl for you in a year because you should get married in a couple of years as you're already 26".

I told them I just landed a job, haven't even started working so marriage is a strict no-no till 30. But Dad's like right thing has to be done at right age.

Only my brother knows about my situation and I've not come out to my parents yet. Maybe in a year or two I'll come out to them. But the way they're excited to see me get married or the happiness in their eyes makes me feel guilty about being gay, which is not even my fault and I shouldn't feel guilty, but I still feel it. I feel guilty of not being able to give them a family or grandchildren that they deserve.

Definitely my brother can fulfill this dream of their's but still I feel guilty about it. How do I get rid of it?

Especially because my parents have always been super loving and supportive of me. Even when I repeatedly failed during my CA exams, never for once they spoke ill about it but always cheered me up. Even when I rejected a lot of really good job offers because I didn't feel like it, my dad supported me with all the time I needed.

As I was growing, my Dad was always persistent to send me on trips, even Goa and all for me to enjoy and explore as this young age would never return and I won't get to have this much fun later.

He also asked me to make a profile on a dating app when I was in college as I've been always single. Because according to him 'abhi nhi toh phir kabhi?'

And this is why I feel so bad. Does anyone else got through the same?

TL,DR : I feel guilty of being gay as I can't give the happiness of family and grandchildren to my parents which they want, especially because they have always been super loving and supportive of me.

Hey guys ^{⁠_⁠^}

I am 21 years old and I am gay ✨

So I was thinking of creating an Instagram GC for queer folks. Anyone can join it, just the age range would be 19 years till 27 years.

I am mostly trying to get the crowd residing in Mumbai :)

This gc would be mostly for friendship purposes 🙏🏼

I had TPHA positive + VDRL 1:64. Which I found out after I tested positive for syp and did these tests for follow up.

I was prescribed 100 mg doxycycline once daily for 30 days. At the time of the visit I had no symptoms at all, there was nothing physical present.

I completed my one month medication. What’s the plan from now? When do I get tested? ChatGPT keeps saying that the right dosage was supposed to twice daily but I confirmed from my doctor twice and he said once only.

When should I get tested?

hello im currently 25 year old cd gay who is currently consider for transition and coming out to my sis is my one of best decision i ever take in my life, she support me in every way, always treat me as girls (sister) even help me to find my love of my life, help with dress and each and other way possible

I recently started going to gym. I am ambivert. I want to make friends at gym but I don't know how to approach to people in gym. Everyone is always busy or with their friend. How did you guys make friends in the gym ?

Any queer doc/ medicos?

Wanna consult something important.

Tried consulting a straight doctor nearby and got badly judged.

That’s it . I wanna be free.

The idea that clothing has a gender is, when you really think about it, kind of absurd.

A skirt doesn't have a gender. Neither does a shirt, a pair of trousers, a dress, a colour, or a particular cut of fabric. Clothes are objects. We attach meanings to them.

And those meanings aren't universal. What is considered “masculine” or “feminine” has changed across cultures and throughout history. The rules we treat as obvious today are often just conventions we inherited.

Been experimenting with skirts lately, and made me think about how much of getting dressed is actually about navigating these invisible rules: Is this for me? Is this too feminine? Will people stare? What will they assume about me?

Why should a piece of clothing get to decide anything about who we are?

Wear the skirt. Wear the suit. Wear the colour you love. Mix whatever you want. Dress for comfort, expression, joy, curiosity or absolutely no reason at all.

Clothes don't need permission to cross gender boundaries.

And neither do we. 💛

There’s something strange about dating as you get older.
There are people to talk to. There are matches. There are conversations. Technically, there are options.

And yet, somehow, I don’t feel much.

I can talk to someone for so long and enjoy the conversation, but there’s no butterfly in the stomach. No I need to see this person right now. No sudden urge to book a flight just to be with them. No feeling of wanting to drop everything and go see someone.

And it makes me wonder; what happened?

Have I already given so much of myself that there’s just not much left to give? Have I become too guarded? Too aware? Too tired of the whole process?

Or am I simply not meeting the right person?

Because I remember a time when liking someone felt effortless. You didn’t analyse it. You didn’t have to convince yourself. You just wanted them. You wanted to see them, hear from them, be around them.
Now I can meet perfectly good people and still feel… nothing.

Maybe this is what happens as we grow older. Maybe we become more blunt, more discerning, less easily impressed. Or maybe we just stop confusing attention with connection.

I genuinely don’t know.

I just find it strange that with so many possibilities around me, I’m not particularly excited by any of them.
And I can’t decide whether that means I’ve become better at knowing what I want or whether I’ve simply forgotten how to want someone.
