The letters LGBTQ are just another way of saying that Love is Love.
His Brown paper box
I sat on the sofa with a long sigh, after a long day at work I finally had time to myself. My phone buzzed, I picked it up to find a text from my friend Derek which said “Mark! You ready for me to kick your butt at Battle busters!? Should be there in 30.” I almost forgot I invited Derek over the other day. My lazy slouch and exhausted demeanor changes into a more excited one as that reminder breathes new life into me. I rush to my game console, turn it on, grab 2 controllers, and rush back to the sofa to load Battle busters. “No way he's gonna beat me this time.” I say to myself as I start practicing, as cute as Derek is when he wins against me I will destroy him his time.

The night of the chocolate cake crumbling before us
“I just watched this sad movie,” Selene started, taking off their work clothes, and changing into pajamas. The pajamas had Joshua trees on them. Selene loved Joshua trees—-they said it looked like a human that had stood out in the hot desert, arms outstretched—-and had slowly turned into the beautiful wispy branches. “It was so sad. It made my stomach hurt—-I wanted to cry. I couldn’t.”

Unity above all...
I am not gay. I am a very straight female who is aware of her own sexuality. That being said, no one should struggle alone with anything or lose their family for being who they are. While what I have been through is not exactly their struggle it is in a justice sense.

How I Chose to Celebrate Pride Month
The sea of rainbow-colored corporate logos on June first helped usher in Pride month. It sure is nice to know that, for one month of the year, major businesses are invested in more than ever in getting that LGBTQ+ coin. I even saw that Disney, after a track record of patting themselves on the back for doing the bare minimum when it comes to gay representation, had created a Pride month themed banner. "Everyone is welcome under the rainbow! Especially when you buy our movies and support our re-makes of your childhood faves! Love you gays!"

Did I go To College For This?
I pick up a newspaper and see unemployment is up, and there is a dire need for Social Workers in the great Common Wealth of Kentucky. Too many times, I heard, "You are not smart enough for school, or Son, you need to make other plans. That kind of life is not meant for people like you." At work, I heard, "You are too smart for this job. You need to find something else to do that will keep you busy and make you happy." Being a gas station attendant on the third shift is some busy stuff. It's for everyone.

A Reckoning.
Beloved, You have known suffering. You have touched it and been touched by it in a way so unique and yet, so universal. Coming out wasn't as important as coming into the knowledge of your multiplicitous, multi-passionate self. You, too, contain multitudes —many of which have yet to solidify. You can continue to try to live within the borders of what joy looks like for you while also realizing yourself as a limitless being. You are a country without borders. No passport is required.
