How did you get over a straight crush?

Every time I see him, go near him or talk to him my heart races and my speech isn’t right. To me and my other friends he does give off a gay vibe and has said he would “fuck a hot male celebrity not just anyone off the street has to be a celebrity” and he has being hanging around and talking to me more after I came out. He seems to be flirting to me but that could be him just messing with me or my brains confirmation bias. I should also note he was homophobic before I came out but since then has being really close to me. What should I do?

Non Pride Queer Community Events/Activities (non U.S.)

I'm interested in hearing about any queer focused events that happen in your city that are not related to pride (if that happens in your city).I'm especially interested in activities outside of the United States.For example in Serbia we have a queer film film festival called Merlinka every December in Belgrade that now draws people from abroad. We even hold it in two other cities, as well as in Bosnia and Montenegro. There are also other QT events that are for community empowerment.When I lived in Sarajevo I visited the Sarajevo Open Center where they held trainings on gender equality, LGBT stuff and more.In northern Iraq there is a community org that does murals and other trainings, and promotes for women and LGBT folks.I got wind of a queer film festival in Tunis as well. I was a bit bummed out since I was just there, but reached out to the organizers to stay in touch.In Mexico City there were countless groups and associations that promoted inclusion and so on.What exists in your city?

I've done 10min of decent research and I can't work out why Judy Garland is a Gay Icon. Can a better homo elaborate? Why is she a gay icon?

Ok so in June 2017 my dad employed this guy who is 17 , I’m 19 and the day I met him I knew there was something special about him , anyway fast forward a few weeks we had a work party and heaps of people stayed at ours , somehow I ended up on the sofa beside him and I had my arms on his stomach and we were about to sleep , he got his hand ,held mine , I was like wdf is he gay too? Then about 10 mins later he got his other hand and held my other hand..So the next morning we never talked about it. Then about 2 weeks later we were drinking he stayed at mine , but some how we ended up sitting out in my car I was laying across his lap and next thing he kissed me I kissed him back , I fell in love instantly with him. Then we were snap chatting each other every night and Always good night I love you. Then in August we went on a vacation I invited he came all good , on the last night I told him everything that I was gay madly In love with him and he said he was too but said he was going to have to make a choice his family or me Sooo the next day he told was straight , he didn’t love me on that way and he just made all the stuff about him being gay up to not upset meSo now I’m like what the F is going on.. also recently he lost his virginity with a girlLike what do I take from this is he straight or gay and just covering up..

My mom's put in a tough position regarding coming out...

I'm gay; I've come to accept, embrace, and love that aspect of myself over the course of last year, and little by little, I'm letting the people I love and trust know that aspect of me. My friends all know, and coming out to my dad was a huge moment for me- and, he took it very well; it's had no bearing on our relationship. So the next big step would logically be my mother... but it's not so simple.Growing up, I know people saw gay tendencies in me- I heard the whispers when I was little, and going through adolescence, my step-dad gave me hell for it, and not in a friendly, playful way, either. I lived with him and my mother growing up, and he was very cruel to both of us, and even though the relationship I had with my mom wasn't great either, we did provide each other with some emotional support through it all. But one day, my mom told me something I hadn't expected of her; "(OP), I know we don't agree on much, but if you really are gay, just don't tell me."It wasn't all too surprising- I was raised to look down on gays as being disgusting perverts, and my mom's always been quite vocal about it. At that time, the idea of embracing homosexuality was just plain not on the table, even though deep down, I knew that's how I felt. It didn't shake me much then- that was about 3 or 4 years ago, and the subject hasn't been relevant since.I came to accept being gay at a time I lived alone- I got a boyfriend, fell absolutely in love, and had that love collapse, and me with it. I saw my mom on weekends- in the time of the relationship, and the horrible time post-breakup, that boy was the absolute center of my life, and yet I told my mom nothing, claiming to be single as ever. I sorta wish she could've just found out on accident before, because now I'm in an... interesting conundrum.I've since moved out of my apartment and back in with my mom- I needed a new job, plus she's with a... slightly better guy than the last two... Anyways, I'm making progress getting my things moved, but I'm more worried about continuing the habits I've built since embracing being gay- namely, shaving my body hair. I definitely love being completely smooth all over- it's something that really gives me confidence and makes me happy. I guess some straight guys do that, but it'd be hard to justify doing my legs and armpits too... and as my privacy here is extremely limited, I'd definitely be questioned for being in the bathroom long enough to get it done.And besides that, it may be awhile before I move out again- I don't plan on restricting myself from anyone I might meet because of that. It's just plain not fair being in such an awkward situation just to get around telling her- plus, my mom keeps trying to hook me up with different girls. I really wonder if she meant what she said about not telling her- I know she's going to react badly no matter what. She has very severe anxiety as it is, and chances are, she'll freak out about it- it feels selfish telling her this knowing that inevitable result. But does that make going BACK in the closet after coming so far justified? Is it more cruel excluding her one of the biggest aspects of my life, just to make her think her son is straight?I feel like the bad guy no matter what. I really could use some advice...
