Drag Queens reading to kids
There is nothing traumatizing about drag queens who read storybooks. Please tell me, what is so traumatic about a person who dresses as a gender opposite to his birth gender who reads a book to children? I bet you can't tell me because there's nothing traumatic about it. It is traumatizing what small minds put in the heads of children and ignorance is where the real traumas for children are found. Although this article is short by point, it has definitely been done, as well as my case had been discussed and represented in the best way. There's nothing wrong with drag queens reading books to children. My point of view

It is an honor that people can come out to me
I am glad that so many people feel coming out of the closet to me about their true sexuality. I think about the fact that people feel comfortable and safe to come out of the closet to me and if I can make a person comfortable it means a lot to me. I remember the first time a girl came out to me was in catholic highschool of all places. From that moment it was the first time I ever had that happen and it’s one of those things and to me I wonder if I came out of the closet would I have that

Taking a Huge Leap of Faith
Six months ago, I wrote a story about how being gay and a Christian was acceptable. Yes, I can be both. Why should I choose one over the other? I know it's a bit controversial, but I'm not ashamed to say it. For the past five years, I've been through so many heartbreaks and challenges. One of them was the passing of my beloved grandfather in the summer of 2022. He was the only relative that I was close with and I took his loss very hard. I wasn't able to attend his funeral in New York, due to work commitments and transportation issues. So, I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to him. An enormous amount of guilt hovered over my head. Nearly a week after he was laid to rest, I continued to go to work, despite me feeling distraught and filled with emotions. This feeling was present up to the one-year anniversary of my grandfather's passing. At the time, I had feelings of self-doubt and not being good enough at work. I considered quitting my job several times, due to the fact that the person that I loved so much was no longer here and dealing with confidence issues. However, I made a promise to myself and my late grandfather that I wouldn't quit the career that has been rewarding and respected by everyone at the office.
