lgbtq
The letters LGBTQ are just another way of saying that Love is Love.
Homophobia
Why do people treat this like a real disease? It’s not real and it shouldn’t be taken serious. We fight and we fight to be equal but people just can’t seem to swallow their pride when it comes to this type of stuff. I do have to say though not everyone wants to see that on tv or in public but that doesn’t mean we don’t accept you. The real problem is, is the protests and the horrible slurs being said and just because you love someone and they can’t accept it, which is absolutely ridiculous. Let’s be real here the only reason people harass the LGBTQ community is because they have nothing better to do, they don’t want them hitting on them, or either they’re just like them and the only way they can hid it is to bash them.

How I Knew I Was a Lesbian
I've known I liked girls since I was six. I'd hold Jeanette's hand in primary school and was always the father when we played families. I distinctly remember insisting that it's normal to kiss your friends, and Jeanette's slight reluctance when I pecked her on the cheek. I thought she was lovely, especially when we would sprint away from boys in the playground, proposing to us with fistfuls of daisies.

Surprise! I'm Bisexual
So, I guess this is my coming out story. It is currently 3 AM and I just finished watching Love, Simon (Yeah, I know I'm a little late) and frankly, I've never been more inspired to tell my parents. I'm scared, though, and I'm not even sure how I would do it.

She Was Something Different
She wanted something different. I mean, I wanted something different too—I wanted to make it out of this town with my sanity, but at this point it seemed that I would likely lose that. I wanted to make something of myself—go to a fancy college up north and attend fancy classes like Trigonometry and live in a fancy dorm that I really didn't care how fancy it was, as long as it was away from here.

A History of Transgender People, Volume IV. Top Story - August 2018.
So far in this series, I've discussed myth and legend. This is, on its surface, is not great historiography; but a culture's myths and legends inform their worldview. Perhaps not always in the most intuitive or impactful ways, but it does say something about the zeitgeist, especially when it comes to divisive or transgressive issues like gender and especially gender nonconformity.

Homosexuality and Christianity
This is a story of the many confusing and disheartening tribulations surrounding my experiences with my sexuality and my family's views of religion. I have only spoke on this topic with my immediate family and friends, however I have come to realize that many individuals within my demographic struggle with the same issues that I had. Hopefully my journey into this realm can help inspire and encourage people like me to realize that they are good enough for this world, and take action to blossom into the beautiful souls they were destined to become.

Over Glorified
Many times, humans over glorify the lives of transgender people. Let it be known that being transgender is nothing to be glorified and is quite traumatic. In fact, 41 percent of teens that are transgender and experience the difficulties of living their true self attempt suicide. Many people do not understand this so... Picture this:

A Black Gay Experience
It's interesting when sharing my gay experience with white gays. They sometimes feel like they can relate with my experience, which usually ends up in them overshadowing my experience with their experiences. To an extent, I agree that we gays have some common experiences, but just because it says "Gay" on the badge, doesn't mean you and I wear the same coloured badge. So this is like, a memo for white gays everywhere.

A History of Transgender People, Volume III
The intense West African sun beats down on the Bandiagara Escarpment in central Mali. Against the escarpment’s face, tucked in the shadow of a large outcropping, is a village that; if one saw only a photograph, one could be forgiven for assuming it was an old Hopi or Anasazi village in the American Sonora. However, this village is inhabited by a people called the Dogon. The Hogon, the spiritual elder of the village, tells a story:
