The letters LGBTQ are just another way of saying that Love is Love.
Attraction to Perfection
I know that girl over there. I have seen her somewhere but where? Ah, that is it, softball six years ago we played on the same team. It was brief because she was a sub player on a team that I had been a part of for two years. She came to play and fill in for some girls we were missing that night and she had brought her girlfriend with her to play too. I remember thinking “wow that girl is hot”. I never acted on anything regardless if she was single or not because well, I was technically in a relationship, at least to the outside world. Though that story is for another time! But that was the thing about back then, it was simple attractions to what I knew I could not have.

Lesbian
I can remember knowing I was a lesbian because I felt it deep within even as a young child. I knew my feelings for women wasn’t what people call “ normal “ . I remember seeing this woman whom I thought was so beautiful. I wished that I could be with her. Being me, I knew I couldn’t tell anyone because I would get in trouble so I kept it to myself . Anyway I never came out of the closet lol I was outted by my mother being all up in my business. Okay boom so it’s ninth grade I was friends with this girl ( she was well known and I was too but not like her but everybody I came in contact liked me). Actually we wasn’t friends at first I’m remembering that part wrong lol. . . So I didn’t like her and her “crew “ because they acted so weird and prissy. Anyway one day we was in JROTC and somebody’s underarms smelled bad so some people wanted to do a smell check, everybody complied except for her soooo we knew it was her. Someone dared me to tell her that she need to wear deodorant and of course I did it lol ( not nice I know sorry guys ) . After that day she started wearing deodorant and I guess realized her “ crew “ wasn’t really her crew and gave me her number . No I don’t think she knew I was a lesbian shoot I didn’t even sort out my feelings yet so I wasn’t sure. Anyway we texted for months and hung out eventually along one another “ best friend “ but then something changed. I realized I liked her more than a friend like really really liked her . So I texted her and told her but was so nervous the whole time thinking like “ she won’t feel the same way “. Surprisingly, she said she felt the same way, I was so happy because it was like every feeling I’ve ever had hidden deep down inside of me made sense. But what came next I didn’t expect. . . So apparently my mom one day took my phone ( because she paid the bill ) & found out about me texting her how I felt. She wasn’t very supportive in fact she was mad. Back then now that I think about it, it seemed like the worst thing of my life but it actually was probably the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Although there was no happy ending with us because she was caught by my mom on the bus stop skipping school with a dude from our school lol ( she broke my little heart ) I did learn that she helped me out of the closet and I learned a very valuable lesson.

I Always knew
I've known since I was four and you know what sparked my curiosity? an Austin Powers movie, I remember the exact scene too. When that assassin came to seduce and kill Austin but got seduced by him instead during a game of chess; and it zoomed in on her breasts. Mind you, I wasn't supposed to see that overly sexual and ridiculous movie franchise but honestly what kid hasn't seen things they weren't supposed to. But, like I said I was four, so it wasn't an interest that dwells for more than a second.

Coming Out
I was fifteen years old the first time I had heard of someone “coming out”. I wish I had heard it discussed in a more positive light, but instead the news came from my father as he and my mother stood gossiping over the dining table one night. He was leaning with one foot perched on a wooden chair in front of him, his arms crossed and set across his elevated knee. My father is a very active conversationalist, he uses all the space around him to tell a story; this posture keeps him relaxed as well as ready to act out a scene at any moment.

Coming Out 2020
I feel like a fake, a fraud, and I have a huge confession to make. I used to think that if my writing process didn’t look like the perfectly polished posts cluttering up the #bookstagram and #writersofig Instagram tags that I was doing something wrong. That maybe my writing process, something that is so close to me that it may as well be an extension of my physical being, was wrong.

Charlie's Dance
She was absolutely stunning. The way her red velvet dress fanned out around her hips when she spun. The click of her shoes as her partner whirled her to and fro rang throughout the hall. Charlie had never seen anything so amazing. He sat on the edge of his seat, big brown eyes wide and twinkling in his awe. It was like nothing else existed but the woman and the curve of her arms inward as she spun in circle after circle, her legs occasionally dipping out to make her look long and graceful.

Beth and Sarah
"Oh, it's that time, look at what came in the mail for you!" "Nooooo. No no no-no-no. How did they find my address?" "Okay, you realize it's just your high school reunion right? Your acting like the mafia is out to get you and they sent you a note to say they're coming." Sarah chuckles to herself while looking at her girlfriend in awe.
