I was at MIT Splash this weekend and I was talking to this person at the end of the night and they said how they identify by three names and they're bisexual, but how they would never talk to their parents about their gender identity. I mentioned how I publicly identify as bisexual but I'm technically biromantic homosexual and how it's weird to have to reexplain that to people (this is completely unrelated to the point except for coming out to a stranger) For me, I don't know any LGBTQ+ teens back home so it was really cool to talk to this person about stuff that we had both experienced because I'm never able to do that. It was kind of an epiphany moment because I was like "Oh yeah ... There's people like this who don't just exist on tv and the internet" sorta thing. I don't know. Maybe I'm odd for being so amazed by this?
