text: I also Very Much feel like this. And the fact that I know (some/a lot/the community) lesbians and gay men don't really think that I am/we are valid makes it much more difficult to make myself go. I don't feel like I allowed to be there, or celebrate my sexuality, and I'm worried that if I do go I'll just get shit on the whole time.  Fun Fact, this is also the reason I'm terrified of trying to date women, especially not having done that before. Yay non-inclusion by the "inclusive"!
