How to ask someone if they are gay politely

Support for your rights as a Queer person

Identifying as a LGBTQ+ person can sometimes lead to harassment, bullying, despise crime or discrimination (treated less by others because of who you are).

You have rights and support is accessible if you are experiencing problems.


LGBTQ+ meaning

LGBTQ+ is the word used to point to to lesbian, same-sex attracted, bisexual, transgender, gender non-conforming or questioning people. Including the + shows that we understand that there are more sexual orientations.

A Lesbian is a woman who is attracted to women.

A Gay person is a guy or a miss who is attracted to people who are the identical gender.

Bisexual person is attracted to both men and women.

Transgender person, (also famous as &#;trans&#;) is a person whose gender is not the same as, or does not sit comfortably with, the sex they were assigned at birth.

Queer  The synonyms queer has been reclaimed by both men and women to describe entity gay, or attracted to people of the same gender as their own.

Coming out can be very emotional for lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, transgender, and homosexual (LGBTQ) people. It can be exciting or provide a tremendous sense of relief, but it also carries the risk of rejection, discrimination, harassment or even physical violence. A person who is coming out may experience a roller coaster combination of joy, fear, self-confidence, vulnerability, pride or anxiety.

For a straight person, it isn’t necessarily any easier. Even straight people who encourage LGBTQ equality may still be shocked or experience awkward when their family member, friend or coworker pulls them aside to say, “I’m gay” or “I’m trans.” They may not know how to react. They may also be afraid of making the situation uncomfortable or saying something they might regret.

Everyone’s experience is distinct, so there’s no script to follow when someone comes out to you. But if you’re respectful, polite and patient, you can avoid or minimize any possible tension or embarrassment by remembering the following guidelines:

DoDon't
Listen to what he, she, or they have to say and let them set

Before I provide you with a list of things you could take into account while responding to a gay proposal (if you are straight), it is most imperative that you listen to a story first.

Not a very drawn-out time ago, while lurking in my usual space, trying to research on something, I was perturbed by a gentleman; a good friend. &#;Neha,&#; he said, &#;I have no issues with these gay men as prolonged as they keep to themselves.&#; My attention was kindled.

&#;Keep to themselves?&#; I was a tiny perplexed.

&#;You see, in my last workplace, a gay guy would often linger around me and try to flirt. One afternoon he ended up proposing to me.&#; He said and shuddered as though nauseated. &#;I shooed him away.&#;

&#;Shooed him away? Appreciate a bird?&#; I asked.

&#;These people are disgusting. How dare he?&#;

I almost asked him, &#;But he only proposed to you? What if he thought you were gay? I mean that&#;s how humans hunt for potential desire prospects, by asking&#;, but I didn&#;t. That was precisely what he was perhaps angered at. &#;How could the gay guy even presume his sexuality with al

Few things on this one. If you ask someone “how do you identify?” they may not really understand what you’re asking so it’s important first to clarify (for yourself) what do you denote and then why are you asking that question?

If you’re asking someone “do you identify as a man or a woman” so that you can know how to mention to them (i.e. their pronouns) is better to ask, “what are your pronouns?” That’s the knowledge you actually want to know (and often call for to know) — so ask that instead.

If you’re asking someone what their sexual orientation is — consider why are you asking that. If you wanna know if they are into you ? Do you want to know so you can set them up with a friend and crave to make sure they’d be into that? It’s helpful when asking personal questions to clarify (both to yourself and often to the person you’re asking) why you need to know. Rather than asking how they name consider asking a more specific question and examine adding, &#;I&#;m asking because&#;&#; to the end to let them know why.
