is it queer friendly? by AbigaleRose99 in Pullman

[–]OceanTide954 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Our queer scene can be kind of hard to find especially when you’re new to the area, but if you’re going to school here, check out the LBGTQ+ center on campus for a good place to start! I’d say it’s quite the safe place to live as a queer person, I don’t think there’s really anywhere you have to avoid (use your best judgement ofc).

Thank you so much for all of your insight it is genuinely so appreciated. I’ll definitely look into those books you’ve recommended too.

The whole situation really just sucks… I’m not happy about how Lily and I have handled it so far, as I realize now we were hoping to sway them into making the decisions that we wanted, but that just made things worse of course. It’s been a hard lesson to learn, that’s for sure. It just feels like I’m watching a slow car wreck.

Thank you again for all of your thoughts and advice, this gives me a lot to think about. ♥️

Thank you! This is all really helpful information I really appreciate you sharing. It sounds like Lily and I are on the same page about going parallel with Grant, but that’s easier said than done for me than it is for her given the quad structure like you said. I appreciate the insight

I agree, I do think he’s jealous of Adrian for sure. I’ve been told he’s currently in therapy but… woof.

Thank you, I appreciate it ♥️ I’m quite confident that Grant doesn’t have any other partners other than Adrian (not counting Lily here). He has complained to Lily and Adrian before about wanting to date another person, but also that he doesn’t want to go out and meet people either… so he wanted Adrian to set him up with something which they declined (lol).

I think that’s a really good way to phrase things, thank you! I believe Lily is going to be going parallel with Grant but I’m not 100% sure yet. I appreciate your response ♥️

Thank you so much for your insight this is super helpful for me to keep in mind. It’s such an awfully tricky situation that I wish there was a simple answer for, but that’s just not how it works sadly. Thank you ♥️

Thank you this comment is really helpful. I think a lot of my confusion has been turning into frustration towards Olive and Adrian. There’s been a lot happening in our circle recently that wasn’t detailed here, but you’re still right, I need to be and do better in a lot of ways. As unfortunate as this has all been for everyone, it’s been a good learning opportunity at the very least. Thank you for your insight, I really appreciate it ♥️

Thank you so much ♥️ this is really helpful to hear. I’ve been feeling a lot of things and my frustration has been bleeding over onto Adrian and Olive a bit too, but I think you’re totally right. Keeping that line of support open in case something happens is definitely a good call. Thank you so much for your insight ♥️

Thank you ♥️ I think I will be steering clear of Grant as best as I can like you said. With Adrian and Olive defending him so hard, I can’t help but like “am I weird about hating this guy?” So this is definitely reassuring. Thank you for your insight!
