"A Chance Meeting at Lost and Found: The Love Story of Jen and Lisa"
It was a sunny Saturday morning, and Jen was sipping her coffee at the local café, Lost and Found, a spot she loved for its mismatched furniture and cozy vibes. She had her laptop open, pretending to work, but really, she was people-watching. The café was buzzing with its usual weekend crowd, but one person stood out.

A Safe Betrayal. Content Warning.
When I first thought about coming out to my parents, I would try to work up the courage by watching videos of other people who had come out and had good outcomes. I would draw hope from them. I would think about how my mother had always told me that they would always love me, no matter what. That no one would ever love me like they loved me.

Small Town, Big Pride
Since a young age I sought to be what I needed. Was it an act of survival? Revival? Or just a spark in me that refused to be extinguished?

The Courage Journey
Once upon a time, in a small town nestled between rolling hills and whispering trees, there lived a little girl named Lily. She had rosy cheeks, bright eyes, and a smile that could light up the darkest of nights. But one fateful day, tragedy struck. A terrible storm swept through the town, taking away everything Lily held dear—her family, her home, her sense of belonging.

Free hugs ain't it.. Top Story - June 2024.
It's gotten fairly popular to make some declaration during pride month that, "If your parents don't accept, support and love you, then I'm your mom/dad/uncle/family/parent/guardian now," and make some vague declaration about your willingness to offer emotional support to young (always young; never the trans person coming out in their 30s or their 50s, never the divorcee who realized he was gay at 62) queers.

The Rainbow Renegade. Content Warning.
A maven, Joan of Ark, supporting her cause and distancing oneself from whims that do not fit the persona, stereotype of her group. Oneself cannot risk being caught adhering to societal norms they have shunned. As beings on two legs we are incapable of treating others how we feel about them. We only have the ability to treat them how we feel about ourselves. What exists in one side of the field versus what is in the other field just barely visible on the horizon can only be fathomed from the eyes of someone else. Introducing the idea of re-entering into a norm that has been left behind will immediately be shot down. As the realization sets in that the field they are in is eerily similar to the field that they left. Slowly but surely the yard just over the mountain begins to look much more appealing. If the treatment, disappointment, and risk of embarrassment are the same, what keeps someone standing in place when walking away is the better option? The answer sits in the maintenance of a perception and the reassurance the Renegade brings to the group. Becoming a leader of any Taboo ideal takes the leader from self-interest to furthering the causes of the group. It begins with strong advocacy and support for a form or freedom, or expression, an audacity to support the under-dog.
