How The Pandemic Helped Me Finally Come Out
What better way is there to tell a coming-of-age story than with a ‘coming out’ story? Well, to set the scene, this all took place at a time in my life that was perhaps a little later than the average coming out story - I was 22 when it happened. I'd been putting it off for years, and while I'd had the courage to talk to some of my close friends about it, and what bisexuality actually meant, my family had no idea.

An Afternoon to Remember for a Very Long Time

Queering the Healing Process
*This piece contains descriptions of sexual assault, and may be disturbing for some readers. Before she assaulted me, Lydia seemed like exactly the kind of person I would want to date. She was older than me, with dark eyeliner and carefully curled brown hair. She liked poetry by Emily Dickenson and hikes by the ocean. We met in the usual way: a mutual friend had ushered me casually into her dorm room before we all were set to go out to a bar for the evening.

How I Dealt With Being Catfished
The pandemic made me long for someone. It was three years ago when I was ghosted by my partner of three years. While it was a heartbreaking experience, I have learned to grow from that pain. I moved forward, not moved on.

A Love Letter to the Trans Community
Is it appropriate to begin a love letter with an apology? You see, as recently as just a few years ago, I was somewhat resistant to the idea that people could identify as a gender other than what was assigned them at birth. I was a bad, privileged gay: I was born male, I fit nicely into my male skin, and so I believed everyone else should be proud to identify as their birth gender.

Pride is just the beginning...
Pride. For a single word it holds so many meanings and feelings for all of us. It could be an academic achievment, moving on from a relationship, just being proud of who you are as a person- all of these and more. And today, I'd like to tell you all what Pride means to me.

It's Past Time to Stop Saying "Guys"
The scene: I'm babysitting. I've just instated twenty minutes of “tablet time” for four kiddos who outran me in every game we could think to play out in the afternoon heat of summer. They are completely, utterly exhausted, and they deserve a break. And gosh darn it, so do I. Dinner needs to be cooked, the dishwasher needs to be emptied, I need to be hydrated...and I am the only one around capable of doing any of these things.
