I used to feel like this a few years ago, lol. Wondered whether anyone else might relate. It just took some time for me to figure it out, that's all.

Putting the right 'Q' back in LGBQ. :)

I've always thought the Q in LGBTQ should stand for Questioning! It's such a common phase for LGB people and it gives people space to explore their sexuality before labelling themselves.

The Q actually used to mean Questioning, before "Queer Theory" activists started claiming it stood for a homophobic slur. I completely agree.
