Ah ok, I thought it might be some new secret sect of the Rainbow Mafia … Mum, Dad, I’ve always known deep down that I was grey. But it wasn’t until I watched a documentary about John Major I realised I just can’t go on living in colour!

    Rainbow Mafia? Please see rules 1 and 3. But seems out of place in any safe space for repressed peoples to use a hate-speech term to attack any repressed group IMHO. Please don’t use that term unless you truly believe there are only 2 genders and only validly defined by a doctor looking at a baby’s crotch at birth and only active heterosexuality is valid. All other terms including gay, lesbian, bi, etc., are “rainbow mafia” terms. If curious, there is a gray, or gray-ace usually, and it is an umbrella term sometimes used in asexual communities that describes several different orientations that are not 100% asexual, but don’t conform to sexual attraction “norms”, such as demisexual, those who find sexual attraction from emotional connection rather than physical attraction. And cis-women make up a not insignificant portion of that community, so there are likely some here. I have some of those traits since physical attraction isn’t as important to me, but more identify as lesbian, personally. All LGBTQ+ terms are each describing thousands of living people’s experiences. They aren’t frivolous. Sorry for the rant, but with so many governments attacking LGBTQ+ people and the US (where I live) at high risk of losing even legal gay marriage soon, it’s not a time to accept hate in any form.
