The letters LGBTQ are just another way of saying that Love is Love.
HAIR
Serena put my hair up in a in a French braid. I've always wanted a French braid, but I'm horrible at doing it myself. Most of the girls at school have such beautiful hair. I'm stuck with this frizzy, messy mop of red curls. When Serena, one of the more popular girls — who has the shiniest and slickest, most beautiful black hair I've ever seen — wanted to do my hair at the slumber party, of course, I said she could.

I'm still learning about my Sexuality
I knew I liked boys and girls at school, though I hid it and covered it up for all my school life, afraid of what the others would think. During the time when I went to school, being part of the LBTQ communities was pretty much dismissed, ridiculed, and outcasted by those around me. I was also sexually abused at school, and severely bullied, so for myself, it was easier to keep my 'other side' trapped in a cage instead of showing people who I truly was and facing more bullying for being bi-sexual. Of course, as I got to those later years of puberty, the attraction grew stronger, but I stayed under the umbrella of 'heterosexual' instead, because that felt safer for me than coming out. I did find myself extremely attracted to both boys and girls at school, and that became more obvious once I reached around aged 14. I also found it difficult coming out and telling family, because my family life was quite difficult and I was worried about what they would think.

Swag and Trans, Trans and Swag
I am trans. That’s it. That’s literally it. That’s all there is. I, Isaac Vaughn-Blue, am indeed transgender. And as cool and as swag as that sounds, it’s a bit of a challenge, one of the hardest in my life. When I found out I was trans, my whole world started to revolve around it. Yes, I know it shouldn’t, but it does. Especially since I am only so young and trying to work out the gimmicks. Like what, you ask? Things like being comfortable with said gender and sticking to it, but also being confident and not wanting to cry every time someone doesn’t understand. With being trans and all, you have to explain it well. But anyways, back to the main point. There are some huge challenges I deal with being, you know, trans, but I make it through.

My Experience on Being Openly Gay in the Workplace
I would like to think of myself as a genuinely happy person- or at least tell myself that’s what I am. Throughout my life, coming out, was a fairly easy process for me. I wasn’t judged, I was completely accepted by my family and friends, and I found myself proving to those against the LGBT+ community that we’re just people who love people.
