I'm wearing a purple shirt and a tie with purple on it. =D Aaand the queer student group on campus had a "flashmob" at lunchtime today. We sang gay songs and handed out purple ribbon to people who didn't have purple and took pictures. I'm glad it went off well, 'cause we only started planning it yesterday evening. XD That is amazingly awesome =O. Will you be sharing the pictures =D?

I saw that! Tumblr also went purple, though they're back to navy now.

Can't edit anon'd posts, so I see that Ellie already posted about tumblr. Whoops. Also, Ellie, I started following your tumblog. :o Also, relevant to the discussion, I run this tumblog: fyeahgayvintage.tumblr.com/ (some pics are vaguely NSFW because of lady-nipples, but nothing worse than that)

I see it now (for today, it's still purple!). That is so awesome! I wonder what other sites besides Tumblr, DeviantArt, and Mugglenet have gone purple. Ellie and Candy are beautiful ^_^ Ellie, I like your shirt, and Candy your star is adorable =D plus purple extensions are awesome Dawww! Thank you! I love my purple plaid shirt, it's now a thing on AVEN to wear purple plaid because purple plaid (well, most of them) have all the colors of the asexual flag in it! I love it so much I'm debating buying a backup shirt for if something happens to it (I sometimes get holes in my shirts after they go through the wash I wish my Mom would let me do my own laundry) Can't edit anon'd posts, so I see that Ellie already posted about tumblr. Whoops. Also, Ellie, I started following your tumblog. Also, relevant to the discussion, I run this tumblog: fyeahgayvintage.tumblr.com/ (some pics are vaguely NSFW because of lady-nipples, but nothing worse than that) Yay! I was wondering if that was you. I'll follow you back.

I'd like to be added to the list, if possible? And I'm happy to be PMed.
I identify myself as bisexual, definitely - although I have definite leanings towards males, although it changes from time to time; two years ago, I was convinced I was a lesbian. It changes, like I said. Having said that, I recently met a very cute girl who I'm hoping something will happen with.
I was back-reading in the thread, so I'm late replying to this, but about coming out; I think it's a shame it has to be a big deal. I've still got on foot in the closet, though, even though I tend to be open with everything in my life otherwise. The problem I have is this; I got to an all girls school. I get a lot of jokes about us all being lesbians. The trouble with my entire year? Dreadfully homophobic. I remember once my entire class said that if they had gay children, they'd throw them out of the house, disown them. And once when our teacher told us about how her friends (who she was not with, but they told her later) pulled over and spat at these two men holding hands. Our teacher told us in disgust of what they did, but my class responded with "What was wrong with that?"
I became close friends last year with a girl who got kicked out of her old school for homophobic remarks - but I didn't know if she was still homophobic or not, and I didn't know how to breach the subject. Anyway, one drunken stupor in a bar later, I told her and she was totally cool with it. Biggest relief ever. Now we discuss it openly, so it's nice to have that, and my friends outside of school are fine with it too (in fact, some are gay themselves, so).
On top of this, though my parents are fine with it, there's no way to really "tell" them. I tried to, once, but my mum is convinced it's a phase, I think, so I stopped talking about it. I know when I get a girlfriend, though, it'll be fine and dandy, but until then I'll think I'll wait.

I'd like to be added to the list and I'm ok to be PMed as well.
I've finally realised that I'm asexual, or at least demisexual. Can't bring myself to feel any sexual attraction for anybody and the thought of sex is "meh" to me? It took me so long to decide because I just wasn't sure but I'll never be sure. So at the moment, that is where I stand. Now to figure out if I'm aromantic as well. xD
Annoyingly my mum insists that it's just a phase or that I haven't met the right person, which I strongly doubt. Although she's willing to accept it, just like she said she would.
So, yeah. =3

That is a common and annoying response. >_< Thankfully I've only gotten that online and not offline. Unless you count my Mom before she knew I was asexual. Even now she says it is possible that the right person might "awaken sexual feelings" me, which at the moment I have to agree it is possible, but it is also possible that (even though I want a relationship) I might find out I'm aromantic.

Hello! I know i've not been on the NTWF in an eternity (wow, over a year, holy cow!), but whatever. Please may I be added to the list? I have been openly bisexual since around the age of 11, and have recently begun discovering my true gender identity. I spend most of my days feeling more masculine than femenine, and I wear my FANTASTIC binder every single day, with some rest days to give "them" a bit of time off / a treat, not that they deserve it >.>! I'm completely accepting of my own identity / gender, as they have been part of who I am for such a very long time. I don't think I can remember a time when I ever was not interested / attracted to just, well, anyone. For me, "gender" is just another physical characteristic, like hair colour or height. I honestly don't give a monkeys about what they are, so long as they're awesome. However, I wish more people were accepting / understanding. What I find most difficult about my own situation is that I am currently attending a christian sixth form college, and despite my best efforts, one of my dearest friends refuses to acknowledge that part of my personality: my girlfriend and I sit near her in Physics, and she still pretends we're just friends, as in her rigid fundamentalist mind, we can't exist. I have no beef with religiony people (I don't do beef, i'm vegetarian ), but it frustrates me that she refuses even to acknowledge it. If anything, i'd rather she thought me a bad person than ignore a huge part of me. Eh, this post is very long, so, tl;dr: Hello! Its Madz, back for.. I do not know how long, wanting to represent themselves on this group. Huzzah. 8D

It stinks your friend though is so unaccepting.
