Re: When and How Did You Realize You Were Queer

Hoo, boy. Long-ass story time. So I was about 14 or 15, and had just re-read Lord of the Rings for like, the fifth time. Galadriel was my favorite character ever almost from the moment she was introduced, and I was trawling the internet looking for anything related to her. It was on some probably now long-dead fansite that I discovered the concept of fanfiction, which in turn led me to discover ff.n. Once there, I immediately clicked on the first fic with her name in the summary. Now, this was well before the ff.n smut-ban, and at the time I hadn't yet learned to even look at the ratings of fanfic. The fic turned out to be Galadriel/OFC/Celeborn smut. I um, enjoyed it. A lot. So some wheels started turning in my head and then I was like, "oh, shit," 'cause I'd been raised Christian and my church had told me that the gay was from Satan. The next few years were kind of rough, to say the least. My parents had a hard time with it for a while, more because they were worried about what my grandfather (a minister with anger issues) would do if he found out than anything else. The few people at my church who I thought I could trust told me to just keep praying and God would make me straight.

Fast-forward to the present, and my parents want nothing more than for me to find a nice girlfriend, I've cut all ties to that church, and my grandfather stopped giving a fuck about most things and became a much, much nicer man in the last two years of his life. And Galadriel is still my favorite character ever.
