Being in the LGBT community definitely has its pros and cons. For example, I know I always have a community to fall back on for support if I need it. I have a community of people who I can relate to, one where we all work together to try and make everyone feel as safe as possible. However, there is the seemingly unending discrimination against us. While such discrimination tends to be violent or extremely hateful, we can't forget about the non-community members who inherently discriminate against us by asking us uncomfortable and inappropriate questions, or making passive aggressive comments. While they may not realize that they're marginalizing us by doing so, they are.

For those of us in the LGBTQ+ community, we know all too well the questioning and comments that ensue from those who are not in the community and are seemingly very confused about our identities. All of these questions we're asked are one or a combination of the following: 1) ridiculous, 2) don't make sense, and 3) extremely inappropriate. This goes out to the straight people who find it within themselves to comment on our sexuality.
