How to know if a girl is gay - How to tell if a girl is a lesbian, bisexual or queer
Figuring out if someone you're chatting to (maybe flirting with, who the fuck even knows?) is also queer can be a goddam minefield. Sure, some people may have the guts to just declare it, but not everyone does OK?!
Here, 10 lesbian, bisexual and pansexual women explain how they know if someone's potentially into them
How to recognize if someone is a lesbian, gay, bisexual or queer
Ask a question about their past relationships/crushes
"I'm bisexual. I find that I can tell when women are into me through things like body language, like how near they'll sit next to me, or how much they might touch my arm. By flirtatious conversation, and hints/references to previous girlfriends, or female dates. I have no concept how scientific something enjoy 'gaydar' is, but I found that I would often have this intuitive feeling that another female was gay/bisexual just through my opening conversations with them (and picking up subconscious cues in their body language).
"And, people have claimed to contain the same sense about me as well. So when I suspect it, I might just request a question during the convers
Dear Scott: Is it Rude to Ask if My Coworker is Gay?
So I have been working at my current place of employment for around five years now. I won’t say the name but the official dress code is the inconspicuous cobalt polo shirt and khakis. I’m friends with almost all of my coworkers and we regularly proceed out to wine and dine after work (thankfully, all of us are girls). When we move out, we often chat about our personal lives, romantic or otherwise. Recently I’ve noticed that one of my coworkers, whom I don’t know very well, hasn’t necessarily tried to divulge any details about their romantic or sexual partners, even when everyone else has.
It’s turn into almost an open classified but most of us at work assume that this person is lgbtq+. They never comment on any of the guys we talk about, nor do they say anything about our waitress. While we wouldn’t have an issue with her if she was gay, we really don’t know how to approach the subject with her. My doubt is: is it rude to ask my coworker if they are gay? I don’t want to come off as impolite or politically incorrect.

OCD, as we know, is largely about experiencing serious and unrelenting doubt. It can cause you to doubt even the most basic things about yourself – even your sexual orientation. A 1998 learning published in the Journal of Sex Research start that among a organization of 171 college students, 84% reported the occurrence of sexual intrusive thoughts (Byers, et al. 1998). In order to hold doubts about one’s sexual identity, a sufferer call for not ever have had a homo- or heterosexual experience, or any type of sexual experience at all. I have observed this symptom in new children, adolescents, and adults as well. Interestingly Swedo, et al., 1989, found that approximately 4% of children with OCD experience obsessions concerned with forbidden hostile or perverse sexual thoughts.
Although doubts about one’s hold sexual identity might appear pretty straightforward as a symptom, there are actually a number of variations. The most obvious establish is where a sufferer experiences the thought that they might be of a different sexual orientation than they formerly believed. If the su
How Do I Help My Gay Friend?
by D’Ann Davis
“How do I help my gay friend?” This is a question we notice constantly in the Living Hope office, when out speaking at events, or from friends and church members from around the world. Twenty years ago few Christians asked this question, for few knew any same gender attracted people, or if they did know them, they were ignorant to their friend’s struggles. Today almost everyone knows of someone who identifies as same-sex attracted or deals with a measure of same gender attractions. Even if a Christian finds himself in a season of being where he does not personally know of a same gender attracted (SGA) person in his sphere of influence, this interrogate is of utmost importance in light of the change of our tradition and the growing willingness of Christians dealing with SGA to openly speak about their issues. So how does one assist a gay-identified friend or SGA friend?
The first response I typically give to this question is actually another question. “Does your friend know Jesus?” This is a vital first question any believer must tackle before attempting to help a friend deal with her sexual attractions. This is because there are two different ro
