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

How an Open Letter By a 98-Year-Old Mennonite on Gay Marriage Went Viral
Last week my husband and I went on a 2000-mile road trip covering parts of Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. Although the Yellowstone National Park was the highlight of the trip, listening to some incredible podcasts and an audiobook was an epiphany of our long trip. Not only did it introduce us to some brilliant minds and their lives but there wasn't a single moment of monotony and time went by pretty fast.

Emily
Loving Emily was the closest thing I’ve ever felt to flying. She thought I was smart and clever and funny, and her laughter felt like the sun on my face. She told me on our second date that weeping hearts were her favorite flower. I had never considered the question, but I wanted to be the kind of person who had a favorite flower, so I said tulips.

Toothache
Sleep has been a mystery to me for many years now. My preteens came and so began the restlessness. I’ve always been a night owl, no question about it. It was even something I prided myself on. I would brag about staying up till two in the morning and waking up at four am just so I could be awake before everyone else. It was cool to be so bad at sleeping.

When I Was a Boy
Because some choices are made to last. Some of them are made to be discarded. To be rethought and placed in the ‘behind’. A behind that forms the core of what we are or, in my case, of what I was not.

It's a boy! OK, but now what?
Seconds after I was born, back in the 1970s, the doctor threw a cursory glance between my thighs. On his words, the nurse wrote boy in the official document that announced my arrival to the administrative world. The whole process took only a second. It was not fast because my bits would be so big and obvious – although, for doctors and nurses, I guess after seeing hundreds, it becomes that obvious. No, in truth, it was more that they really don’t take any time doing this. It is a requirement that they must write down the gender, and so they do, but the bulk of their work is elsewhere. I bet many don’t give it second thoughts, it’s almost a reflex to look briefly and speak aloud “girl”, “boy”. That is all it takes to create the gender definition of a human being: a quick glance from a doctor or nurse and a large chunk of your identity is set for life.

First toe in the water
As I am typing these first few words, I feel deep trepidations inside, which could be coming either from the excitement that this is going to be wonderful or the foresight that it will lead nowhere.

I Was The Shadow Of A Young Girl In Flower When I Met Marcel Proust
It's August in this city and a prologue is being prepared. And I'm here, seated at this coffee table in this open-air gallery, under a concrete and stone building.
