I'm tired of hiding
that I reside in the gay side of youtube.
I'm tired of hiding that I went to the GSA
even though they didn't want me to.
I'm tired of deleting my search history.
I'm tired of hiding that I'm reading books with queer characters.
I'm tired of hiding that I write queer stories.
But,
most of all...
I'm tired of hiding
me.
She's finally ahead in the presidential race. The way my hope lifted when I heard that news. And the disbelief on my face? How, after ten months? I was sure I was going to be screaming from my porch on election day, "Why, why?

The Girl
I saw her today and stopped her.
She has brown eyes. She is the best. My best friend, QQQ-1239. I shifted uncomfortably in front of her.

yes. this is so horrifyingly real. my family is perfectly great with my queerness but homophobia is so deeply ingrained in society and our minds from the moment we're born that every single time I search something related to the LGBTQIA2+ community I have to truly force myself to not press delete on the search bar after I finish looking. and that's on good days.
white straight cis people don't truly understand (oh they may say they do but give me some water and get them out of my sight; they don't know how to be honest) how horrible even the barest bones of society is to our community. WE ARE HUMAN TOO. WE ARE PERFECT.
sorry for my rant your poem is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the complepments about my poem!!!
seriously I am so scared of my family finding out but part of me would be happier if I was outed than in I came out because it minuses a lot of anxiety.
I'm still not sure if I should because my parents are (I think) transphobic. But not homophobic?? Its complicated.
well I am probably not the perfect person to ask about this because I never really had a big coming-out scene. I was just kind of like, oh, you know, that lady on the show is super cute, I think I might be a lesbian, that stuff? I eased it in very slowly and I know my friends who came out more literally did too and that's their advice to most people but don't do anything you think wouldn't be handled safely in your own home.
I think I'm gonna do it. The due date I gave mytself is Halloween
awesome. tell me how it goes and/or if you need a supportive person >0w0< :D
Totally! I think its gonna be better that I have all of these supportive people around me, if only through my computer. But don't be surprised if they take away my computer. That's probably how far I'd expect it to go thou.
ok well that's better than what else could happen
yeah (><)
