Strange Experience

Today I spoke to an old friend and for some reason they asked me if I'm pro or against lgbtq+. Now, obviously I said I'm pro but their next question was if I'm from the community or just an ally.. I panicked and said *after some suspicious seconds of silence* that I'm not part of the community and now I kind of overthink it. After that they said they're totally pro for it so maybe I could've actually told them.. it would've been nice to have a friend who may also be lgbtq+ or just an ally.

I'm not feeling safe whatsoever so maybe that was a good thing to do.. even though every time these questions are asked I lost my skills of lying but anyways. How was your day?

is there a scientific reason for it?
