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.

We Need To Talk About Cis Privilege . Top Story - March 2024.
Privilege is defined as the right by a particular race, gender, or social class to access societal advantages inaccessible to others. Privilege comes in many ways: because you are white, or male, or thin, or stereotypically attractive, or able-bodied. Cisgender is an adjective which describes those who identify with their assigned sex at birth. When we're born, we are given a label of female or male based on the way we look. Those who feel a disconnect between assigned gender and true identity are transgender. Those who do not feel a disconnect are cisgender.

The Journey to Self-Love. Top Story - March 2024.
“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell are you going to love someone else?” The famous quote from the Queen themself: RuPaul.

I am no different to them. Top Story - March 2024.
With the brutal and violent deaths of two 16-year-old's Nex Benedict (they/them) and Brianna Ghey (she/her), one year apart, and nothing but an ocean dividing them. Nex Benedict was attacked in a bathroom of their school, they weren't attacked because of an argument they were attacked and sustained injuries that killed them over their choice to be themselves. Brianna Ghey, another 16 year old, was stabbed over 20 times to death, again, not because of an argument, not over gang affiliations or anything like that, she was killed over her decision to be who she was.

The two interior designers. Top Story - February 2024.
I was around six years old when I realized I was queer. I haven’t entirely grasped the concept yet, but I knew I was different in some way. That terrified me. I can remember, clear as day, my lamentations about whether I can hide it or fix it somehow. The guilt was suffocating, my little heart racing with anxiety and paranoia because I was mortified over the prospect of anyone finding out. I was stuck and isolated with no one to confide in. I’m sure you’ve heard this exact story a million times before and I’m not here just to garner sympathy with it. What I want to talk about is a turning point in my process of growing up and it all started with two interior designers we hired to refurnish our apartment.

Horror of Queerness. Top Story - February 2024.
Pride was for other people when I was younger. Living in the Midwest didn’t really give me a lot of insight into what queerness is. Despite having a bisexual mother and trans neighbor I had no honest idea what it was. There were a ton of examples of it growing up. Both problematic and I suppose as unproblematic as they could be at that time.
