This community feels like a Hug

Experience

I’m a 19M goth, and I’ve recently became a goth a few months ago and I’ve been to a goth club, and while I was nervous. It was such a kind experience, I just want to meet some more fellow LGBTQ friends and allies and this community seems so kind. My father introduced me to all this including goth bands and old gothic movies as well.

I absolutely understand that there’s lots of negative experiences in this community, and I feel lucky to have found a safe good space. I know it’s hard a lot of times out there, but you all are so kind and such beautiful people, I’m going to my next goth party next month in Virginia and I’m nervous, but I’ve felt so happy here, where we all team up against the fascists ideals of our nation. And I want to let you all know you at least have another queer ally here with you, who’s also Bi.

What I said in the title is true, this community really does feel like a kind friend. But I’m still nervous AF for my next goth club, since it’s a lot bigger and much more “official” if that makes sense. Vampire themed too I think, but thank you all.

Sorry if this post is out of place I’m not sure, but just wanted to uplift some of you guys here
