I found out that I was gay a few months ago. I knew about the LGBTQIA+ community, I just had HUGE crushes on boys. (I’m looking at you, Nick, Kane, and Kevin.) I now have an ex gf and a (female) crush.

I didn't find out till my friend said they were pan and I was like, "no you are human" so that is when I learned about lgbt

IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

CARTOONS WITH QUEER CHARACTERS WILL MAKE KIDS CONFUSED; I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS QUEER UNTIL I WAS 11 BECAUSE THERE WAS NO REPRESENTATION; DUE TO THIS I FELT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND GAVE MYSELF FAKE CRUSHES ON GUYS; I WAS VERY CONFUSED ON WHY I DIDN'T LIKE ANY BOYS LIKE THE OTHER CHARACTERS ON TV; I WISH I HAD THE AMOUNT OF REPRESENTATION THE WORLD IS TRYING TO GIVE CHILDREN WHEN I WAS YOUNGER; I HAD NO IDEA QUEER PEOPLE EXISTED UNTIL I WAS NINE; HAVING DIVERSE CHARACTERS IN LITTLE KIDS SHOWS WILL HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT
