Great to meet a fellow ally and advocate.

I'm a proud dad of three boys, the youngest is my teenage transgender son. I'm also an active member in our (growing) PFLAG chapter, as is my spouse.

How the heck one knows for sure? I'm 30 years old and I still can't figure it out (maybe I still have a hard time accepting it, despite my efforts to not give much of a damn about everything anymore).

We should all just be able to love whom we love.

I don't think it's weird at all. Even though folks my age might call it Bisexual, my kids inform me the acceptable lingo is Pansexual.

Glad you're here!

Thank you, sincerely. I am glad to find this group. I'm very glad that there is support here.

Count me in. I've recently come to terms with being transgender and I'm in the process now of coming out to family and friends. I told my bandmates at practice the other night and they were fantastic about it.

You have to love when your bandmates let you know just how much they really love you.
Very proud. We're here to support you.

Love is a precious commodity and it should be celebrated whenever it exists.

Great club and good luck!

+1!

Congratulations!

What a great thread! I don't need a number, but I'd just like to offer my support for those who need it, my congratulations to those who warrant it (all of you) and my friendship, too.

I'm certainly straight and have been in a relationship with an amazing girl for 6 years now. Her brother is gay, though, and he's known that for some years. He told his friends, an accepting aunty and uncle and us about it 2 years ago, but not his parents. They're lovely people, but certain ideals and a certain book cloud their judgement. However, this year he is moving from the town he (and we) grew up in, to the city where my girlfriend and I live now, which is far more liberal and, as far as I can tell from an outsiders perspective, has a great LGBT community. I'm excited for him to move down and, hopefully, experience some feeling of liberation.

Thank you

The world needs kind and understanding parents.
And thanks for the nice comment on our youtube as well.

One more bi-bassist to add to the list! (that sentence has a real nice musicality to it)
Anyway, I didn't know this thread existed! I don't join groups on TB because there are so many and I have a slight case of what people in the medical profession would probably deem OCD... so if I join one I'd have to seek out and join all of the ones that apply... and then I would forget to eat, forget to sleep, and I'd get around to even less homework than I do at this point.... you can see my problem

In any case, just wanted to post and say hi!

Hi! You're welcome to a number if you would like one! Let me know

notchuck · #**394** 02-06-2013, 01:07 PM

I'm a T/B member of TB :P (I'm glad to see my joke hasn't been taken, lol)
though I just call myself queer rather than pansexual or bi, because it's easier - details get a bit fuzzy sometimes lol.

number please?

I to use the term queer as I don't think other people need to know the nitty gritty of all facets of my sexuality and gender.

I wish I had come out as a bass player at the same time I came out as a lesbian! (Which was when I was a kid. Been playing bass for just over a year now at the ripe age of 45). But, hey, they say it is never too late for either so "hi all!" and may I have a number?

Thanks!
