Where is the rainbow sheep Who was sent from the golden heavens? Where is the rainbow sheep Who would comfort the ones that fear?

Layered like an onion skin, What if something is missing? Unknown and "too young" My own thoughts crammed up inside my stomach

Baseball is For Everyone: Part 4
Greetings, Vocal readers and Happy Pride Month! I've addressed the many reasons why America's pastime is for everyone in previous stories, which I'll have down below. I know I said that the previous story of me discussing this topic was the last time addressing opponents of LGBTQ+ people and anything that's related to it. Now, I have even more things to discuss and helpful advice for them. Once you have read this story, please give it a like and subscribe to my page on here. Also, follow me on my socials. Finally, please send me a one-off tip at the end of this story to support my work as I continue to write and publish more stories.

I Didn’t Disappear. I Refused.
They outlawed my name first. Not the one on my ID — that one they kept, with its masculine “Matthew” and that stiff, false “M” stamped next to sex, like a scar carved into paperwork.

Me And My Bisexuality
I’m bisexual. It was a shock learning this about myself, as most figure out their sexuality by high school or college at the latest. And sometimes earlier.

Unapologetically Me...Now
Happy Pride, Vocal readers! I love this time of year, because it's a reminder to conservatives and anyone who heavily dislike us that we aren't going back in the closet. At least, not in the foreseeable future. Our voices will grow even louder, and we refuse to shut up.

Introduction This is a microfiction for the challenge below: This is not so much a microfiction as a series of observations based on some people that I know and have known.

One, two, three . Honorable Mention in Pride Under Pressure Challenge.
I remember when I was a kid, people would say that love was the most beautiful thing in the world. It made me happy. And I loved the very idea of love. But when I grew up. The world decided that love was under attack. If it didn’t fit inside the perfect little box, then it was real. It was a lie. A sin. An abomination. And so I learned how to love in society. And it broke me…

Coming Out Again: Beyond All the Labels
I came out the first time when I was sixteen. It was chaotic, emotional, and transpired clumsily in the passenger side of my mom's minivan following a tense family dinner. The words fell from my lips, awkward and weighed down with years of stifled worry: "Mom, I think… I think I'm gay."

The Stage Is A Cage. Runner-Up in Pride Under Pressure Challenge.
She pretends to be straight so she can afford to live. Though, she enjoys being a stripper, she really does. It is who she dances for that she does not like. Look at them, all dressed in identically drab grey suits. They have the same haircut and watches that are almost as big as their egos. While the way she glistens from sweat underneath the spotlight is sexy, these men look like they have just come out of a deep-fat fryer. They make her feel a bit ill. Yet, here she is, grinding her waist on one of their laps while they tuck twenties into her G-string.
