The letters LGBTQ are just another way of saying that Love is Love.

You Don't Have To Be Gay To Support Gay Rights
I was watching one of my favourite television shows - Bad Girls - over the Easter long weekend. As always, I posted on social media about my favourite Bad Girls couple; talking about how much I love them and love that they finally get together! (It ended too long ago to worry about spoilers).

Broken on the Inside...
Life is complicated. From a young age my life has been one complicated mess, full of challenges and changes that have molded me into what I am today.

I Hate Being Transgender
Being transgender isn't a glamorous thing. I think a lot of people have a very long list of misconceptions about transgenderism and the LGBT community in general. Since LGBT culture has become a lot more mainstream as of late, some people have come to the very misinformed conclusion that queer identities are a passing trend. This has further advanced the stigmatizations from religious groups and people, and from right-leaning, Trump-loving people. It has also reduced queer visibility. The irony is that since queer culture is becoming more present in modern times, it's also made the actual community more invisible.

Filling the Empty
So it begins. My night out. I'd much rather be at home, sober, snuggled up in someone's arms watching Netflix. In that scenario though, I would be alone. Alone. It's a powerful word, but the word "single" just doesn't seem to be as impactful.

Suz's Closet
“I’m leaving you because you should be with a woman”, he said. My chin dropped. Then it wobbled. This was the worst timing. With the opening of my new store coming up in a couple of months, my needing to find someone to run the store, the insane schedule designing and making clothes for the new collection, and the general madness surrounding the recent new-found popularity of my brand; in other words, I didn’t really have the time to get dumped.

No Going Back
In January 2018, I made the decision to come out as gay on Instagram at 17 years old. As much as I wanted to do it before this point, I could never press the button because I knew there was going to be a whirlwind of change. I wasn’t ready for BLACK GAY MALE to be a part of my identity.

Coming out BI-Sexual
It's not easy to know if your bi-sexual, lesbian, gay or straight or whatever route you prefer. It's even harder when your just a kid trying to figure it all out! It all starts when you start checking out the same sex as you and then you start questioning why you are doing that, your straight not a lesbian, you need to stop checking girls out or vice versa.

My 40 Year Journey to Queer
When I was 9, I experienced my first kiss with a girl from my class. She was my best friend, and we practiced kissing each other when I spent the night at her apartment. At the same time, I learned in church that a human’s default sexual setting was straight. Anything else was gay, which also meant evil. I didn’t understand that at the time, but I absorbed it.

Growing up Gay
I am currently planning my move across the country to a more progressive area, and I have reflected on my time in the south and the aspects of myself I hide for my own safety. Even in 2020 I still avoid holding my girlfriend's hand in some public places. I notice the looks of disapproval, and I feel obligated to chip away at my character to make others comfortable.

Can we add 1 more?
Why would this be on my mind so heavy? Why is this what I want? I don't want to do anything to hurt him. He has always been the love of my life and my best friend. Now it seems things are starting to change. I can't shake the feeling of wanting more.

Oh how she likes to party
It’s evening now. There’s a black pole fence circling the pool and stringed lights wrapped around each rung. Some, that crystal yellow and others forming a multicolored mirage.

NOW, WHAT?
I was so in love with my best friend named Lucy. She was an extremely beautiful kind-hearted girl. Every time I had a terrible day or just not in the mood, she would come up with a plan just to see me happy. Basically, it was a challenge for her. So, she would always wanted to win. She wanted to see if she can make me laugh or smile again. the thing she did is Lucy came up to me and say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
