The letters LGBTQ are just another way of saying that Love is Love.
My Hell Pt. 1
We all start out our lives with hope, joy, and our imaginations bursting at the seams. All the while unable to stop ourselves from wanting ever so badly to grow up. Our imaginations run wild with the thoughts of how amazing it will be to finally be big, we will get to drive cars, vote, and over all just do whatever we want. When we are young enough to truly think these thoughts the adults in our lives caution us to just enjoy being a child, that being an adult is not what we think it is going to be. They were right.
For Dating Purposes: How to Spot a Lesbian
How to Spot a Lesbian Throughout my life I've been told that it is a lot harder to spot a lesbian than a gay man, that women find it easier to hide their sexual orientation, or even that lesbians don't exist (don't fall for that last one, kids).
Andrea LawrencePublished 2 years ago in HumansA candid piece about my feelings and sexuality
We live in a world where everyone is trying to find a label that describes themselves to make them feel as if they were a part of a group or to give them some clarity. Yet, trying to label me makes me even more lost. When I get asked that whole “So what sexuality are you?” I never know how to answer because the terms that go around my head, Pansexual, Bisexual, DemiSexual and Aromantic, don’t seem to fit.

I Once Thought Bill Maher Was Funny
Back in the late 1990s when I was trying hard to work as an actor, the advice pretty universally seemed to be, “if you can do ANYTHING else, do it. Because this is hard. It often sucks. And few of us ever make any money.” They usually went on to say, “but if it’s all you can see yourself doing, keep going.”

People with uteruses aren’t safe here anymore. The trans creators, the gay wave makers, the genderqueer non-binary rule breakers - are not safe here anymore.
Harley MyersPublished 2 years ago in HumansGender Reveal Parties are So Problematic
In my twenty seven years, I've never once been invited to a gender reveal party, and I cannot tell you how happy I am about this. This type of party is controversial and problematic in more ways than one, and not only this, but they can be dangerous too! Of course, despite its creator despising the trend, the "gender reveal party" remains alive and popular among (mostly) Millennial parents. Truthfully, this trend needs to be killed.
ghostsandrebelsPublished 2 years ago in HumansAre People Really 'Transing' Kids?
If you want to believe what some people in the media are telling us, transgender people are out to brainwash the children and that parents who fall for it are perpetrating abuse. But what is really going on?
Grayson BellPublished 2 years ago in HumansCelestial Deadbeat vs. First Amendment Junkie
Dear First Amendment Junkie: I've been doing a lot of reflection lately. A deeper look into who I am as a person rather than the labels we all put on ourselves. You know the ones! What is being a woman? Am I too much like a man? Am I too old? Am I too young? Should I be ashamed of the color of my skin? Should I be ashamed of who I love? What about the ways and things I enjoy during sex?
Celestial DeadbeatPublished 2 years ago in HumansI Discovered I’m Demisexual and I Don’t Know What to Do About It
I haven’t had much of a romantic life and I’ve just turned 50. To my family and my best friend,this is rarely if ever mentioned. To be fair, to my family and my best friend, it’s never been an area of any concern. To them, I suppose, it’s just always been “Natalie just doesn’t do that kind of thing… just the way she is.” For my father, I think it was a relief. He was very protective and a bit on the old fashioned side.
Natalie ForrestPublished 2 years ago in HumansPeople Who Are Unrelatable But Might Be Good enough to justify Our Time
Announcements The universe has an approach to sending us inconspicuous messages. One just requirement to tune in. I observe the messages very uncovering. I just called it the universe, however some of the time I say it is my body that I pay attention to.
Take the News of the Day in Small Doses.
My fiancé and I are finally putting the finishing touches on our podcast. We’ve been mulling the idea for years, pausing as our world turned upside down and inside out in 2020/21, and finally we returned to the idea for 2022. We’ve recorded four episodes thus far so we can listen, take notes, tighten the format, and decide how we want it all to work. I’m pleased with our progress, and we’re getting close to a product we will be proud to share. We are a black queer cis man and a white queer trans woman discussing the news and current events we find interesting. (Or absurd.) We really want to get this right. We’re nearly ready to introduce the baby.

I’m quite fond of the words of Khalil Gibran. So much of his poetry has infused and informed my life. This one (slightly edited) in particular, stuck, it’s called On Children:
