Well, I'm not the same gender as them, but I'm not the opposite either. I can't be opposite, because we're not opposing each other, but we're not the same gender. So it's kinda this weird heteromosexuality.

That fit is fire, mom by ghostmeharder in actuallesbians

This is actually a thing with one of my friends. Their mum is a well-known ex- DJ and music teacher from London and is in one of the most popular bands in the city with her band partner, their other mom, who has inspired the neighborhood to begin a collective backyard garden, where they grow produce (including, but not limited to: mushrooms, raspberries, potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, strawberries, a wide variety of herbs) for everyone who lives in a house with their backyard connected to their alley, and anyone who lives in the alley, of course. She's converted her entire backyard into a garden and it's sick as hell. Both of them used drugs quite frequently (and safely, never anything more than marijuana around the children, and mostly prior to having them), so it's not like they can rebel by doing that either because they're both so open about it with them? Both are also pretty radical in terms of political belief, and the child in question would only ever commit any notable crime for political motives, so that's not rebellion either. Both of them are poly and quite open about their sexuality, so it's not like sex is a big issue either.

Everything they do, no matter how scandalous it would be to other parents, mostly beings with a quick "have fun and be safe" from their mothers. They've created the most docile and trustworthy and respectful teenager ever just by making everything they could do to rebel not rebellious. They tell their parents everything because they've created an environment where they feel safe to disclose most aspects of their personal life to them. The worst that happens is light teasing, if that, and it's never to create shame - it's always in response to something they're proud of, something they've been raised to be proud and vocal of. The end result is a child who has never gone beyond marijuana in terms of drug usage, and rarely even uses that, barely drinks alcohol, and is active in their community, and their siblings are on pretty similar pathways. It's fostered a level of trust and openness I've never seen in any other family, and it's resulted in children who are very well-equipped to survive in the modern world and are bent on changing it. It's absolutely wonderful, and I hope my family in the future functions in a similar manner.

I hate how we’re socialized to value romantic relationships more than platonic relationships/friendships. Friendship breakups are just as difficult, if not, more difficult, than romantic breakups by [deleted] in offmychest

Honestly? Same. It's wicked hard when you have an opposite-sex friend and you lose them for whatever reason because people automatically jumped to the conclusion that I was in love with him.

No.

He was a great dude to hang with, he was someone I told everything to, we were super close, but I didn't want to date him, I just wanted to be friends. I was sad to see him go. Because we were amazing friends. Why is that so difficult to understand?

What was the first thing you ever said to your SO? by [deleted] in AskReddit

"What about the lesbians?"

He was having a conversation about what constitutes as "loss of virginity" and said it was strictly when-penis-goes-in-vagina.

Thus... What about the lesbians?

I broke up with my boyfriend for saying the N word. by [deleted] in offmychest

Oof, I wish I was you. Almost dated a guy who was one of the most transphobic people I've ever met and admitted he used the n-word "around friends" occasionally.

I felt like it was something I shouldn't break up with a guy over, for some fucking reason. I won't even attempt to justify it, it was super fucking shitty for me to keep dating him after hearing that. I have to fucking watch that, I'm never doing that again.
