a modest proposal
With a rising percentage of Americans identifying as LGBTQIA+, it is clear that a cultural shift in our country is necessary to achieve any semblance of peace in the coming years. Nearly 6% of Americans identify as queer in some capacity, and an estimated 20-40% of houseless youth identify on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. What accounts for this is often the response of family members after a child comes out. The queer youth is either kicked out or leaves their home due to safety concerns and lack of support. There must be some solution for this housing insecurity amongst queer youth that adequately addresses the harm done by straight and cis counterparts.

Love and Identity is not Stationary
When something is stationary, it means that it does not move or change, but we need to learn to know that someone's sexuality or identity is not stationary, it can change and in most cases, it will change. Everything is always changing, which is good because years ago you couldn't talk about something much less someone who was part of LGBTQ+, but gradually things came to change. Now you can, but you can't just stop change when it gets to be too much and you don't understand it anymore, because when that happens people don't get the representation they need and deserve.

"Not a game,Its a emotion"
Jallikattu, also known as sallikkattu, eru thazhuvuthal, or manju virattu, is a traditional sport that takes place in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The event involves the release of a bull, usually of the Pulikulam or Kangayam breeds, into a crowd of people, who then try to grab the hump on the bull's back with both arms and hang on to it while the bull attempts to escape. The participants hold on to the hump for as long as possible, attempting to bring the bull to a stop. In some cases, participants must ride long enough to remove flags on the bull's horns.

Within the Cocoon
If walls could talk…that is the common phrase I hear all the time. I should know, I am a wall. I have seen many families reside within the room I have been watching for decades. Presently, it’s quiet, but I prefer there to be life. I enjoy observing the humans live their daily lives. Most seem to follow the same social pattern. However, there has been one particular case I have found to be intriguing. And this is the story, when I was able to witness an extraordinary transformation.

These movies allow crowds an opportunity to see characters, who have so frequently been left off-screen, simply carrying on with their lives; they offer portrayal to a huge cut of the populace over and over again disregarded by Hollywood.
