What do i do if i am a lesbian but my crush is straight?
Plus even though she tries not to show it, as she knows my sexuality, i can tell she doesn't really support the LGBTQ+ community.
At this point of life i've fallen out of love and now we are just friends, but still, most of the people in my country don't support people like me, so my question still stands.

brooo that's always such a rough spot to be in. I'm not sure if you're asking for advice on how to get over her or how to get her to support but my two cents would be to try your best to focus on something else. You can't control how she feels, supportive or not, reciprocation to your feelings or not, but you can control the way you react to it and how you handle the situation. it's really hard to see past the rose colored glasses that crushes tend to blind us with, so having another friend to kinda pull you out of the clouds is a good idea too, if at all possible. Make sure you aren't trying to hurt yourself emotionally in this process either. don't ask questions you don't really want to know the answer to, and don't beat yourself up over liking her in the first place. we can't help the people we fall in love with (or out of love, in this case). it just is what it is. Do what's best for yourself. You're the only person in the world that lives with your thoughts and actions 24/7/365.

You deserve to be around people who accept you for who you are. As a queer person myself, I strongly recommend not wasting your time with bigoted and prejudiced people. There are so many people who will genuinely support us, and we are not responsible for those who choose not to do that.
Crush-wise, you can't change what someone's sexuality is so not much you can do really. Having crushes, reciprocated or not, regardless of sexuality, is very normal and nothing to feel worried about. Sometimes a mature, honest conversation can help with moving on from those feelings, or limiting time spent one-on-one whilst you reframe them in a platonic way. A lot of the time these things will pass naturally though so no stress

i think the people above me made some good points. whether or not she supports the LGBTQ+ community, her sexuality being different means that you are most likely not compatible romantically. i'm sorry you're in a part of the world that isn't very open minded. i suggest surrounding yourself with supportive friends/joining communities. for example, where i used to go to school, we had an alliance club that would meet bi-weekly that focused mostly on education for change. most of the attendees were LGBTQ+ members and people that wanted to learn more or were interested in becoming an ally. or, you can start a community like that yourself if its allowed and safe for you to do so.

as for finding romantic partners, it takes time. i've personally never had a crush on someone that wasn't my sexuality, but i can imagine that it's a pretty defeating and disappointing experience. i suggest continuing to make friends and finding people that you know will be supportive or are part of the community themself. i'm sure you will find someone in the future, hang in there!

My bf and I have been together for 3 years as of yesterday, I’m so happy and lucky to have him in my life. He’s very supportive, loving, patient, and kind. He also really loves my dog which means a lot to me because my ex (who never met my dog would talk trash about my dog for being over weight) now my dog and myself are in a much happier healthy relationship, I can honestly see lasting a life time. I’ve never before had anyone so supportive and loving, he never lets me talk bad about myself, encourages me, supports me. Just honestly everything I could ever want in a partner.

Since I have been here last I am now engaged for almost 2 years and have a little 9 month old baby. I didn't realize how long I have been away from here!

Quietly (not quietly at all) smitten with my boyfriends best friend.
He (my boyfriend) knows and thinks it's the cutest thing ever (neither of us are very monogamist), and his best friend sussed it out and thinks it's cute.
I love my silly Lithuanian and Norwegian boys, even if one isn't technically mine.
They mean the world to me and I hope my fiancé is smiling down at me for being The Biggest Goober To Ever Live(tm).
I finally feel like myself after losing my fiancé in 2023, and it's so nice to feel myself again.

my girlfriend and I went on a trip to the PNW (in America). I grew up there and she was born there and has a lot of family there. We got to go to an aquarium, see the sights of Seattle, Pikes Place, and we even got to take a ferry! My first time ever. After spending time with her family we went a little ways down south by train (also a first for both of us!) to see my family. We stayed in an airbnb and rented a car... more firsts xD While spending time with our family we explored nature, went to the beach (my favorite place on earth!), and an arcade. We also just chilled around the airbnb and watched movies and played games. I made us breakfast every morning... everything was such a dream. 2 weeks of pure happiness with the girl I think I'm gonna marry. I love her and this really solidified those feelings for me. She makes me so, so SO happy. We live 2 hours away from each other right now and the (short) distance is making me tear my hair out. I wanna be with her every moment of every day. Hopefully we can move in with each other in a year and a half like we have planned <3

i feel like i don't have anyone to talk to about this, i have talked with my friends about it and they're like "omg that's great" but gahh i don't wanna bother them right now with it. this guy is honestly just the best person i've ever met. he is so sweet, down to earth, caring, goofy, supportive, and everything else. i genuinely believe he is a godsend, a blessing. i haven't been this genuinely happy and giddy about someone in so long. whenever im with him it's nothing but a good time. idk if this makes any sense but it upsets me in a way, because i feel i don't deserve it, and i've expressed that to him before but he only ever tells me i deserve everything and im amazing or the best. he's also planning on making me dinner one of these nights himself like?? where did this guy come from 😭 i love him. i just love him. i tell him all the time i appreciate him and care so much about him, and that im glad he's in my life. i can't express it enough 💕

I post here a lot, huh? Anyway, first time I actually asked a girl out!
...gentle rejection. At least we're still friends, which I was really worried that I'd ruin that, and she was flattered and gave me a slight hug afterwards, so that's good. But idk how really to move on, if I think about it too hard I get sad again.
Also, this made me think that all the girls I've ever liked have been these really pretty, smart, and funny people that do so much more than me and I don't seem to compare. Am I reaching too high? Obviously, I'm not going to settle for anything, but maybe I should look at others at my level more.
