QSA Thread!

QSA stands for Queer Straight Alliance. A thread for both queer and straight people to support each other!

Many schools have a QSA (or GSA (Gay Straight Alliance), but we like QSA better because we think 'queer' is a better umbrella term than 'gay'), and it would be fun to do one on CB too!

Share stories, talk, & do whatever.

Heh, we've noticed the CB had a large queer community and were thinking it needed a thread like this. While we were thinking about it, we had all kinds of ideas for what to say in the post, but now we can't remember any of them...

Hi, Silver here! I use she/her pronouns, though that's the only thing I'm sure about. I identified as bi for a long time before realizing that I was probably on the aro spectrum somewhere, due to my apparent lack of crushes (none), although I'm not opposed to being in a relationship. As for the ace spectrum, probably, but that one's less clear. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing or where I'm going to end up, but at this point I'm just going with it. 

I told my mom about all of this and she's been super supportive, which is great. She had no idea what aroace meant before I told her, but when I did she could name at least three people who were aspec that she knew, but neither them nor she had any label to describe it at the time. I think that's very interesting, and I'm glad that identities like this are known more widely now, so people can have a way to identify rather than feeling lost and/or broken like the people from my mom's generation did.

Hey! I appear to be pretty late to this thread -- I could've sworn I posted already, but I guess not. Anyway, I use she/they pronouns, and I'm bi. I think I'm on the aro/ace spectrum, but I'm not entirely sure. I'm not really out irl, only among a few of my classmates -- a lot of my relatives (especially older relatives) wouldn't be...very accepting, let's say.

The CB has definitely played a huge role in helping me figure out my identity (even if I'm still figuring it out!). It's the first place I was really exposed to the LGBTQ+ community, so I'm eternally grateful for that, and for the wonderfully accepting place that the CB is. <3

I...think I'm girlflux! And for those who don't know what it is (because I didn't, at first);

It's a form of gender fluidity encompassing genders nonbinary and female, (which includes pronouns like fae/faer and it/its). So far, I haven't been it/its or anything else--mostly female, though I've occasionally been a demigirl and nonbinary (not really enby yet though, mostly demigirl and fem).
