I f(17) have crush on one of my really good friends. I originally met her through one of our other mutual friends. They’re like best friends and I hangout with them often. We’re all girls they’re both straight I have not told them that I like girls. However, one time the three of us had a sleepover and we started talking about boys. She kept referring to her crushes with gender neutral pronouns, but I never followed/asked her about it I didn’t wanna make her uncomfy. One time we were hanging out one on one and she opened my laptop to look something up and found my notes app which had a page open about me basically confessing my feelings for her to get it “out of my system” she saw it and was super shocked but nice about it. And we never brought it up again. We still talk every day and I still like her. I can’t tell if I should go for it or not? Thoughts?

long story short, we got distant and were trying to work things out but then after another confrontation about her feelings she said she is confused and is finding girls attractive ( we had a sexual relationship but we're not active for a while ) she never had a female partner . and I have heard many times stress and hormonal imbalance at a same time can cause this temporary changes. I'm trying to be supportive and give her advice. has anyone faced it before? is it just a phase ?

I’m a butch, but I used to get my nails done sometimes. I realized that they aren’t really my style (same with makeup) but I do still greatly admire the artistry. I swear I always notice when ladies have a manicure or acrylics. Anyone want to show off their nails?

Thirst Trap Blurb:

Raquel Vasquez had been working in Hollywood for years. She had done plenty of interviews but the ones with the thirst posts were her favorite. Especially when they featured a hot woman who wanted to rail her over a couch. She had never been lucky in love, but maybe she could try once more.

If I Could Drag You Under Blurb:

Mira Hansen is done. With everything. In an effort to escape her life, she books a stay at a secluded beach house during the off season and is surprised when it comes with a very persistent, and hot, lesbian neighbor. One who’s annoyingly preoccupied with her wellbeing. During her stay, doors she thought she had closed swing wide open, and things she can’t unsee come crawling out of the ocean. Maybe it’s a good thing that at least one other person lives nearby… to make sure she’s not going crazy.

We’ve all heard the buzz around Heated Rivalry, and honestly… I’m still completely hooked. I’ve been trying to get my friends into it too, but not everyone has the same freedom, some have parents who aren’t supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, which made me a bit sad because I just wanted to share something I enjoy with them. It also made me think about how some people try to avoid these conversations altogether, even going as far as homeschooling to limit exposure. But realistically, the world is full of different people and perspectives, and at some point, everyone will encounter that diversity anyway.

Do you notice more queer representation now than a few years ago?
