Hey there
I'll start with
What my parents think about LGBT+ folks
My brother said that he can't wear purple goggles because that's a girl colour.
My dad said transgender people looks freaky.
My mum s Donald Trump, and thinks he speaks his mind very clearly about stuff.
My mum said I shouldn't say I am bisexual because it might reflect badly on them, and me because it might make girls think I'm always hitting on them.
My mum said earrings would make me less of a tomboy and more of a feminine girl.
This ties in with my mum believing that being a tomboy is a bad thing.
My mum said that only lesbians would wear suits and it's not normal.
My mum said that she had a crush on her female best friend and that I'm actually not bi.
My mum misgendered Eva as he instead of she in the couple that is Eva and Adele, the two artists in Berlin, and she refused to correct her (Eva's) pronouns.
:open_mouth: :disappointed: :weary: :angry:
What I think about what they said
All genders, romanticities and sexualities should have the right and freedom to love who they want, dress the way they want without being confined to society's expectations.
Society's expectations can be harmful if pink was only for girls and blue for boys, makeup for girls and sports for boys, boys shouldn't express their emotions and have to be super masculine (or they would be seen as weak, a pussy), being gay is used as an insult, and saying "You slap like a girl" is totally okay.

They are great!
Transgender people are not freaks and you must respect their pronouns, don't say "It's too hard", it really isn't.
If you make a mistake on pronouns, apologize, correct yourself and move on.
Don't make a huge deal out of it.
Stop it with the misconceptions and discrimination already.
We are human, obviously.
Just treat us with respect and don't be a jerk (this is for everyone).
Except for Andy Biersack and Brendon Urie, who are probably Gods, Fallen Angels or something :wink: (respect is still required though).
Final words
Happy New Year and best of luck and happiness to you all!
folks,
Stay strong, safe and just be you!
