So, yea... One of my roommates posted a rainbow sticker with "Stop homophobia" written on it, and I know she made out with a girl on a party. I was genuinely happy about the sticker since I myself was trying to find one. When asked her if she is a supporter or a member of LGBT she was like "No... As straight as I can be. But I support them. How about you?"; and I was like "A member". She was totally confused and didn't know what a "queer" is (which is strange for the community and environment that we live in- almost everyone is open-minded and knows a lost about LGBT), so when she saw, she was stunned and couldn't even look at me (not that I mind, but ffs, we're about to spend 9 months in 2x2 bunk bed room). Not to mention talking to me. At least not until I started laughing saying that it was a joke. Childish, I know. -But I have the need to tell some of my friends that don't know yet first, before everyone finding out. I don't get why are people so afraid(? maybe not the right word. Nvm) and self-centered when it comes knowing a queer, like it is about them. As if I'd ever look at her in that way (really not my type. Not that I have one in particular, but definitely not her). Idk. I don't really care what most of the people think, but I need to be considerate about people around me. And I don't know why I'm even writing this, but the frustration would've gotten me to smash things and put the girl in her place - what would result in her being intimidated by me 'til the rest of her life - so instead... Here I am. Again. :bang:
That definitely seems frustrating and i am sorry, although that may not be what you want to hear. As for telling her, I think you should be honest, and tell her that it was not a joke, everybody goes through phases for things like sexuality(I don't know why), and she might just take a little longer to accept yours. If you are willing, I would just wait for her to do so, and if this doesn't work, can you ask for a different roommate if you find someone that is willing to switch.
