I know we may use the title for Alex|Tyler but

so we can change this title. I also want feedback and|or added that you feel should be in the OP outline

“I just want to feel powerful in my own skin,
and my own mind, and in my own heart.”

Our Purpose

The purpose for this thread is we felt that with the show being high in representation that we would create a space to talk about LGBT among other topics. Our family already on the board is large and many of us relate to our characters and the essence of the show. This thread is open not not solely show related where we can talk general of LGBT, Mental Health, Diversity, and just meaning of life. Our aliens of either original or reboot were about outsiders trying to be normal

Safe Haven

Thankfully in the time the board has been open we have already seemed to have created a fan family and feel like this thread will keep that respect for each other.
The thread can be used for posters to discuss their own sexuality among any other topics that relate.

Please to remember to respect each other and remember no judgement

Your welcome

been on my mind almost entire time but think TB's pushed me over the limit

to doing it

Calgaryfan2006 · 04-22-2019, 01:29 PM

I think it's a great idea.

crash landing · 04-22-2019, 01:35 PM

I myself fully am within all of it

since 17 have proclaimed myself bisexual, always been isolated|mental health even if only formally diagnosed 2 years

I have no idea of who I am

Calgaryfan2006 · 04-22-2019, 01:44 PM

Tyler has been a great inspiration to everyone. I have friends that are Bi and it's not good when they can not be themselves

crash landing · 04-22-2019, 01:46 PM

I feel for people that do not have the confidence

so do hope more people start to be able to have the confidence

Alex Guerin · 04-22-2019, 01:48 PM

Thanks for starting this thread

Calgaryfan2006 · 04-22-2019, 01:48 PM

Yep, that needs to happen. People should not have to hide who they are

Alex Guerin · 04-22-2019, 01:49 PM

Everyone should be able to be who they are

crash landing · 04-22-2019, 01:49 PM

Agreed

I've always not given a ****

but not everyone has that ability or confidence|strength

to be able too

Calgaryfan2006 · 04-22-2019, 01:51 PM

That is true, some of my friends don't have that strength so it's good to have others to hep them through it. That is why I am so proud of Tyler for having that strength

Alex Guerin · 04-22-2019, 01:51 PM

Yeah i will say it took me a very long time to come out. In face i didnt come out till i was 39 years old and Jan 1 was the day i decided to and i havent looked back since

crash landing · 04-22-2019, 01:56 PM

Glad that you were able too where better late than never

By your age there -- would assume generation difference and totally can understand how it could be hard

I know my bae Wentworth didn't come out when it was about that age or older cause think he's gonna be hitting 50 soon

and he only came out barely 6 years ago. I guess a lot of speculation though when PB was running 2005-2009 but can see him not feeling it right

Anyways here's his coming out which is a speech I can listen to in a loop

I highly recommend giving it a listen

Guess this is the full video

actually haven't listened to the full before
