freshers' fair

ok, so my heart *did* leap when i saw the LGBT stall. and i felt bad immediately, because i know how ridiculous it is to feel a sense of 'belonging' with all non-heterosexual people. but then the two behind the stall beamed at me and i just wanted to give them a great big hug! because, however wrong it is, the thing i have been missing about home the most is just the sexual diversity of everybody. i need to identify as queer and, i am beginning to think, i need to socialise with others who identify the same way. half the girls i talk to here have boyfriends back home. i'd got so used to being openly gay and all of a sudden everyone here is assuming i'm straight. and i am actually scared to put them right.

the girl behind the stall was wearing a rainbow flag as a cape. LGBT drinks on monday... do i dare turn up alone?
