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

“Have you heard the news?” There were several murmurs. “The prince is visiting today.” There were squeals from girls all around who couldn’t hide the excitement in their faces.

Cydkney’s Diary
Preface I need to let this be known now, if you don't like hearing the untold truth of what Trans Women of Color like myself have to go thru on a daily basis. This is not the book for you to read. We are constantly being overlooked and stepped on. We as trans women are being target, slaughtered, and carted away like we mean nothing, and until this world realizes that we are TRANS but not TRANSLUCENT to the world we are subjected to live in, we will continue to break every single boundary that we are subjected to endure. Thank you to everyone who has ever supported me.

Hurting My Own Heart
Have you ever fallen in love with two people at the same time? It’s like you looked at them and instantly you knew what the future would be like. Their eyes, personality and everything else about them makes you fall in love with them even more. You may ask “what’s wrong with being in love with both of them?” and the answer to that is they’re siblings.

Winter Doubles
Cold surrounded us but there was nothing we could do about it. It's winter and neither one of us thought to bring a coat. Standing across from me Michelle waited for her moment as she watched people going by. When she's looking round it usually means she waiting to scream or shout and all I hoped was she wasn’t going to start yelling at me, because that usually lasted for hours.

A New Years resolution
I once knew this boy who liked pretty things. He’d love to wear them play with them and imagine he was them. He would go into his moms closet grab her purple pumps she wore once to an 80s party. Then run out of closet and copy Tracy Turnblad doing the mash potatoe on Hairspray. Once he got caught using his moms expensive makeup, he was not a very good makeup artist. So his Mom came in and just about almost killed him because it was all over his face and the tv. After he had a bath he would ask his mom to put the towel like she did especially on the top of his head.

ARIÆ LUV
I had been planning to audition for Ru Paul’s Drag Race for the past several seasons, thanks to COVID, and a little inspiration from one of my exes, I finally submitted a request for an audition. My ex just had an audition with one of the prime time game shows and the odds were looking great for him to be on the actual show. I know I have what it takes to win the season, but I am fueled by winning the crown, and more importantly, meeting my real mama:

A Late Bloomer
I am a late bloomer. A 31 yr old late bloomer when it comes to choosing the same sex for love. I kept it hidden for a very long time as I was sent to Christian school. Of course, that is where it is forbidden or whatever to think such thoughts. So? I did away with it out of fear. Completely stupid, but I was a child; highly vulnerable and still had much to learn. I did not have anyone telling me loving another female was okay. I had people in my family that chose that lifestyle, and coming up, I honestly did not look at them any different than the next mf. I did not know how to. Ignorant people really act like we're aliens or something and that type of bullshit is seen and learned. Then it tears my stomach up how people play with the shit and make it harder for people really on the shit to step out. Like I want to have a gf just to make such and such jealous, or to make such and such notice me. That's that BULL.

Today's Don't Ask, Don't Tell
In 2011, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" came to an end allowing the country to close the book on a discriminatory practice that forced men and women who were committed to serving their Nation's military to live in silence. Under this policy, gay people who wanted to join the military would no longer be forced to lie about their sexual orientation. However, they were not permitted to disclose their sexuality. Promoted as a bargain between the Clinton Administration, military leadership, and Congress, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) was met with outrage from many LGBT advocates. Who felt the new policy was simply a new version of the past bans on LGBT individuals in the military. Many of DADT's opponents believed this policy involved marginal progress and was considered a step back from the complete integration of LGBT service members.

"Flight"
It was in his sixteenth year that Ezra experienced death for the very first time. The call had come early in the morning. The sound of the phone had brought him out of his deep sleep. He had been dreaming of his friend Pieter. They had been flying hand in hand above the pale blue dot that was the world beneath them. They were laughing, singing, and embracing the heavens with a vision of a better tomorrow. Pieter's words floated on the stratosphere as he sang his song to Ezra. "Flying high above the world, don't shed a single tear. We are together now, my love, with nothing more to fear." He sang it in a whisper close to Ezra's ear. They turned and looked at one another- there was no fear. Freedom had become the only thing that they knew, which in itself said more than any other word ever could. Then came the darkness and the falling. The spherical walls of the dream had shattered like a crystal ball, and it's pieces falling from the heavens like an endless snow landing on the world below. Pieter's hand slipped from Ezra's hold as he was engulfed in the darkness, completely disappearing. Ezra reached out, crying to swim in the obscurity, but he fell only further towards his empty shell. There was the faint sound of a heartbeat that he heard through the murky thickness, and then silence.

What the ‘A’ in LGBTQA+ Means
Asexuality is an often confused, or misunderstood sexual orientation. In much the same way as atheism exists as a counter to religious ideology - how can one exist outside of the religious sphere? How can they choose not to believe? Asexuality exists within this same realm of not. Not experiencing sexual attraction. Often not engaging in sexual acts through out their entire life. Not understanding the draw, nor the appeal, of such actions.

Your Place in Your Friends Transition.
“Don’t worry about it… tonight isn’t the night for dropping bombs”, my friend said these words to me from across a small but crowded dancefloor. Me (on my third glass of cheap red), replied “just tell me, I’m in a good mood, I can take it!”. At the time I thought my mate had just broken up with their partner and couldn’t understand why their eyes refused to meet mine, or why their hands fiddled in front of them.
