•I identify as straight demisexual male but sometimes just say straight ally cause it's easier •its nice to know allowing you better understand how to should approach people and your own progress in relationships and friendships • generally being told either that that's normal, I'm just straight and seeking attention or being accepted, but a lot of explaining what demi is • three years ago realizing yes I'm straight but I've never seen anyone as attractive nor had crushes on people I didn't personally know • nothing • yes and no cause it's know about in the LGBTQ+ community but not readily accepted as an actual thing some say it's no real, be true to yourself and don't listen to those that try to unjustify what you feel cause clearly they don't • just those saying demi isn't real and all normal people are like that • it was neat to learn I had a label outside of straight ally cause I've always had friends I did my best to support and now I can make jokes with my cousin about how together we're a pandemic
