Personally, I think OP's word support is warm and much needed. Probably because I don't see many people in real life (at least not around me) who would openly declare their support for LGBTQ+ rights.

Okay. But what will they then actually do to materially and politically support us? Words are meaningless if they aren't followed through with actions.

Will they tell homophobes/transphobes etc to get lost? Will they educate others? Will they actually back and support programs etc for us to get and keep more rights at work, in the countries we live in etc? Will they give us money? Will they stand by us in actual protests etc?

We need co-conspirators, not just folks that say pretty and kind words and then do nothing beyond that.

I am. I can't say how. You have allies. We'll all get through this together. In the mean time, read on tyranny or watch this: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhZxrogyToZsllfRqQllyuFNbT-ER7TAu

You are right, I just posted this because ever since I accepted m y bisexuality I got urge to just say "I love you" to queer people.

Thanks, honestly if I had stable job and salary I think I will donate to some LGBTQ charities or something like that to help my community, but currently I'm student and I want to save money and spend it on necessities. I'm great btw.

We understand that (the saving money). However, personally we think mutual aid is better than charity as it's more likely to get into the hands of those that need it. Charity tends to have a lot of overhead and doesn't always get money into the hands of those that need it. Glad you are great.
