Is a Genderless World Possible?
Gender is a hotly debated topic that is difficult to breach without someone getting upset. The current precedent is that self-identifying as a particular gender is absolute, and we should accept the individual’s claim without question. In this article, I would like to question not the validity of one’s feelings, but what it actually means to identify as a specific gender.

I'm not broken.
For as long as I can remember, I knew I was "different." I didn't feel how everyone else did when it came to people that I liked. I never looked at another person and thought "I want to have sex with you." But I knew that's how others felt, so I acted like I did as well. I didn't want to be different, I wanted to have the same feelings that "normal" people had.

Legacy
It is 1995 and you are in middle school. You are just starting to notice that people are starting to date. You noticed the girls, but you also noticed the guys. You think this is normal. You have little crushes like everyone else. The difference is you have them on both boys and girls. You go through middle school hiding your crushes on the guys and pursuing the crushes on the girls. You have a few girlfriends in middle school.

World Prepares To Commemorate Pride 2022
Pride Month occurs every June and helps to commemorate the Stonewall Riots when in the earl hours of June 28th 1969, New York City Police raided the Stonewall Inn which was a Gay Club situated in Greenwich Village in New York City. This sparked a riot among bar patrons and people who lived in the local area. The police man handled and dragged people out of the bar which lead to six days of protests and violent clashes with law enforcement officers outside the bar on Christopher Street in neighbouring streets and in nearby Christopher Park. These riots served as a marking point for the gay rights movement in the United States and all over the world.

The Death of Words
As someone who's been recovering from a surgery for far longer than anticipated, I've spent an obnoxious amount of time on Twitter to pass the time and boy howdy is it ever a mess right now. I spend a lot of time browsing the queer rights topic which has been under fire in the United States and United Kingdom, mostly in regards to the recent legislations involving transgender people and their involvement in sports.

Illuminated Shadows Ch.2
Chapter Two I could not open my eyes, but I felt every muscle in my body scream out in pain as if I had been tossed off a cliff and left for dead. I tried once more to open my eyes, and then I finally opened one eyelid, then the other followed. My vision blurred, and I did not recognize my surroundings. I put my head back down on the pillow as I felt the bile rise in my throat from my spinning vision. My hand went to my head, and it felt hot and wet. I knew I had a fever, but I could not bring my voice to make a sound.

Pride Songs
When I started researching for this article, I did not expect it to turn into mostly Foo Fighters and Paramore songs. I was happily surprised that I found so many songs from them. In this article I am going to take songs that are not necessarily gay songs and relate them to pride and coming out.

The Vatican Doesn't Want You To Know About This Gay Romance. Top Story - June 2022.
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was born more than five centuries ago, 6 March 1475 to be exact. As a young man, he was a magnificent block of marble that was throughout his life broken down steadily by people around him. First the pope and the church, next by his thievious assistants, and finally by his own flaming love for young men.

Tangled in You
“There weren’t always dragons in the valley, otherwise known as New Gildar, but now the city streets are filled with them. Dragons migrated to Alacia (a-lay-she-a) about 1000 years ago when their home planet of Graneer faced extinction. The Dragon people faced great prejudice when they first landed. Their heavily armed warships did not make them appear very peaceful to the human leadership, but over time they gained the trust of the Jiirai Republic. After even more time the respect of the Alacian people. Now they are one of the most populous and advanced races in New Gildar. As for me personally, I’m so thankful we coexist harmoniously now because when I look at Zephera, I can’t imagine my life without her.”
