I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for just over a year now and our relationship has recently began to dip in and out of 'special interest' region in my brain. However it isn't just our relationship but the whole LGBT world. I have a new friend who is is recently married to another woman and I have began to sort of obsess over her also. Is this strange? I have had an obsession with autism before and never thought of it as strange however I knew I was autistic where as I'm not always 100% certain I'm gay and my mum thinks I'm not gay either. Has anyone else here had an obsession over the whole LGBT world, or an obsession over their girlfriend/boyfriend/friend of some type?
Thanks

There's that bit of a cliché (although it's often quite true) where when a LGBT person is in the self-realizing stage and coming out to themselves|their family|the world, they tend to go overboard and *everything* is LGBT for a while, until that part of themselves is integrated into their whole sense of Self. It seems especially prominent when their family/parents/upbringing didn't allow them to do so during the typical ages, so it's almost like it all has to happen in a condensed form. Yeah, I'm not sure how much sense that made...

It made sense to me, I only recently came out after being fairly introverted for several years, and I pretty much just exploded with positive energy and general "gayness" to the point of being poked fun of by my friends, but I love every minute of it, and I've loved myself more then I ever have. I identify as "Bi" since I don't really care about the parts you have to play with, as long as I like the person underneath

I'm bisexual and even though I've never had sex with anyone of either gender, I've accepted the fact that I am bi.
However, because of my homophobic mom and my homophobic/asexual sister, I have to pretend I am straight in order to avoid hostility from them.

I've also never had sex with anyone. My family was very supportive of me coming out as Bi. Do you at least have some friends that like you for who you are? I disliked school, it was pretty much just me trying to act "normal" and stay relatively quiet just to avoid being ridiculed, while sticking to a small group of friends when I could. I hope you have some good in your life, that must be tough.

I had a friend who was physically disabled but when I was 18, we were forced to separate by my mom because she believed him to be gay when he was actually straight. He did support the LGBT movement, however the irony is that about a year later, I went to his house for his birthday but his father threatened to file a restraining order against me if I didn't leave the premises immediately. To this day, I still have suspicions that my friend was being abused by his father.

During my HS years, I was very much a social outcast because my main obsessions were trying to fit in and looking for my first GF.

Thank you for your kind words.
