LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

[JacinLarkwell]

Well, I spent the drive to work torn between sobbing from a song and trying not to die in a fiery crash because I couldn't see. Now I'm trying to convince myself not to skip out on my therapy appointment.

Twas a bit of a joke. Obviously I wasn't crying enough that I was completely blind. Music just really gets to me when it's a meaningful song and I've been stressed the last week. I had to put down Cuzco last night too, which didn't help at all.

And obviously I'll go to my appointment, I'd have to pay even if I skipped at this point in the day. Just a battle I have mentally every two weeks on if I should just not go or not. But I'd feel bad wasting her time too.

Ah. That strange balance between not agreeing with what your Christian family says about being LGBT, but DEFINITELY NOT SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY!!!!
They still don’t realize I’m part of the group yet. Planning on waiting until they realize.
The other day, we were talking about the rainbow flag, and I very subtly asked my mom “aren’t there different colored flags for each group?”. I’m apparently the only one in my family who knows there’s more than just the Rainbow flag (queer, right?) and the transgender flag.
But, on the bonus side, one of my dance teachers is pansexual! And one of my friends is Bisexual! So I’m not alone.
Just thought I’d share an update on my situation. How y’all doing?

My ducklings are probably coming tomorrow

Glad you're not alone, and have people close for support, if you need it.

I had to put down Cuzco last night too

I am so sorry.

Wonderful!

Same. I’m planning on coming out to the teacher, and looking back on yesterday, the friend probably assumes I’m LGBT of some sort now.
But thank you so much for your support when I came out a month (time flies!) ago.

Shabs, I would wait before coming out to authority figures, especially at your age. Some states require teachers to inform parents if a student confides in them about sexuality and gender identity.

I never actively came put to my teachers and while some (looking back) would have been safe to come out to, others would not have been.

I can understand, but these are not public school teachers. They are dance class teachers. So do the same rules apply? Though I can see where they might.
The other thing is this: it’s not like I’m saying I want to get an operation done because I want to be a boy/no gender/etc. I’m simply stating that I’m in this group. I don’t think that requires parent approval.

No, it doesn't require parent approval, I'm just saying that school teachers in some states are required to inform parents if they hear a student talking about someone not being straight/cisgender, which could be very dangerous if the parents are against that. Dance teachers, I don't think so, but I am not in dance so I wouldn't really know

Yeah. I’ll make sure to find out.
The other thing is if mom’s not there, how will they know if she’s against it?

They won't. That wasn't the point I was trying to make though. Just be careful

I will. Thanks for the concern though.
