#Joked about getting a dial but my 'don't want to be a bother' programming is getting in the way

Queer Enough?

So - this is my first pride where I'm out to my family. That didn't click with me until my sister pointed it out.

For some reason, that blew my mind.

Then she started talking about the LGBT+ flags, pointing out mine before admitting she didn't know them all.

My first instinct should've been 'wow, she cares so much about me and about the community that she's doing everything to educate herself.' Instead, my wreck of a head went 'oh my god, she knows more flags than I do - I am a horrible queer person.'

Some folks love their flag/flags while I never really got into it. But now I'm desperately studying because I feel like I have to know them all or I'm a bad representative for not being able to list them off with ease.

One day, I hope to stop giving a fuck about things like this. Unfortunately, today is not that day.
