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

So Drew, I liked him alot. I thought because we kinda grew up together we would be perfect. I thought that because we came from the streets ok maybe we wont be perfect so it ok we can play the game and be ok. In my head he would be by my side by any means. He was, then it got old.

How I redefined my sexuality after marriage
A few days ago, I woke up to a Buzzfeed article about True Blood actress Anna Paquin defending her marriage to a cisgender heterosexual man as a bisexual woman. I am paraphrasing, but the comment was that it was “unfortunate” that her marriage “does little for the cause.” In 2021 that could be the conclusion some reach, but years ago that was far from the thought I had when I first learned that an openly bisexual woman married a straight man. My first thought was more along the lines of. . . “You can do that?”

WAY WE WERE BUILD🌈
Members of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) community are harassed, beaten, cruelly traumatized, and, in many cases, killed for who they are and what they stand for on a daily basis. Although the number of people coming out as non-heterosexuals is increasing every day, fear continues to hold many back from living happy, prosperous lives. To some, it may not seem like a big deal, but for LGBT individuals, disguising their identities is like living as a shell of who they may be. Members of the LGBT community are oppressed by what society expects of them, and they are afraid of how others will react if they don't fit that mold. Even in 2021, when the world celebrates uniqueness and freedom, LGBTQ+ persons are still considered misfits.

No Place Like Home!
In December of 2018 I was diagnosed with HIV - this news changed my whole life and the trajectory of my career. I relocated to NYC because I was sacred , embarrassed and afraid of my family, friends and those who where apart of my church community finding out about my status. NYC welcomed me with open arms, immediately providing me with medication, housing, food stamps and a biweekly cash benefit to help me with personal items. I was truly overwhelmed with the support, love and care that I received and currently receiving. NYC saved my life, I was depressed, lonely, isolated from friends and family but NYC, the bronx my neighborhood and community became my family in just a short period of time.

Taegong: Lace & Leather
Breaks were a luxury in this place. Gong-gi commended any idols that were in training or due to debut, because he feels the standards had only gotten higher since his debut. He tried his best not to think about the social media comments, but they followed him in is head.

Pink Musings
I remember the first time I allowed myself to wear pink. It wasn’t the first time I’d worn pink; after all, I was assigned female at birth in the mid-90s. Between first breaths and the first time I heard that something was “for boys” or “for girls”, I bet I wore every colour of the rainbow. I have no memory of those simpler times.

(A)Sexual Perspective: "The Blood is the Life"
On November 13, 2020, the rock band Palaye Royale released a music video for their song, “Tonight Is the Night I Die.” In the video, the members of the band are vampires who attend a ball in 1853 per the title card. They feed on the unsuspecting female guests, stalking them throughout the mansion. Towards the end, the lead singer Remington Leith is dragged outside by vampire hunters and staked while the other members escape. The video’s cinematography and gore are pretty impressive and the storyline is easy to follow.
