When you’re jobless and depressed the idea of a black hole is all too inviting 🤔

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

I agree 100%

Technically I live in the highlands and I’m forever having to come out to everyone and it is exhausting! It’s a little more complicated for me as well because my spouse is non binary which is still a very new concept here so my spouse and I have had many long conversations on how I should introduce them to strangers. I tend to say I have a wife so I don’t have to come out by saying ‘I’m gay’ and then just continue to use spouse afterwards. It can often feel like I’m betraying who they are because it can be too mentally exhausting to have to educate people who I will probably never see again about their gender identity.

I definitely feel like while most people don’t really have a reaction to me coming out as gay I can see a change in their deemenar and facial expressions if I start to explain that my partner is non binary. I’ve asked if my partner has felt comfortable being gay while they are here (they’re Canadian) and they say they do but I think you start to see the prejudice and feel the need to keep quiet when you live here.

Scotland is obviously not the worst place to be part of the LGBTQ community but I still think there’s a long way to go before the whole community is accepted completely and free to live their life as loud as they want.

Random question. How is the LGBTQ community generally received in Scotland?

I’d say the generally population are very open, to the point where Scotland was seen as one of the most LGBT-friendly countries in Europe.

Unfortunately there has been a targeted move by anti-LGBT American evangelicals in recent years which have swept the whole UK into a transphobic storm which unfortunately Scotland hasn’t been immune to.

What makes it difficult just now is that anti-trans groups quickly end up becoming anti-LGBT. Classic divide and conquer type stuff.

There’s a new group that’s launched in London call the LGB Alliance. No prizes for guessing their actual motive. Thing is one of the advocates for the group quickly took to Facebook to say ‘We should drop the B now too’.

I’ve rambled a bit, but it’s a fight all over. The nice thing is time is on our side.

I’ve found that while Scotland as a whole seems accepting of the LGBTQ community it does depend on where you live as to the level of that acceptance.

Having lived in a small town in the east of Scotland since the age of 14 it’s sort of a ‘we know there’s gay people but we don’t talk about it’ especially when it comes to lesbians, bisexual and trans people. It took me a while to feel comfortable holding my partners hand and that’s really the only sort of affection we show when we’re in my home town.

Whereas in bigger cities such as Aberdeen and Dundee I am much more comfortable showing affection because I feel that the community is much more accepted, there are some queer spaces and there seems to be an open discussion about the LGBTQ community so it doesn’t feel like such a secret topic.

Obviously this is only my experience as a Scottish lesbian so I can’t speak for the whole community.

Long distance relationships = days spent waiting in airports ✈️

Put your hand up if you feel guilty for spending the summer with your partner because it means leaving your mum with your dad who doesn’t help at all around the house and doesn’t speak to anyone 95% of the time...
