A Journey into the LGBTQ+ Experience
As a non-LGBTQ+ creator and ally, my journey toward understanding the complexities of the LGBTQ+ experience has been shaped significantly by moments of genuine queer representation. One of the most impactful experiences was watching the television series Pose. Set against the vibrant backdrop of New York City's ballroom culture during the 1980s and 90s, the show features a predominantly transgender and queer cast that portrays the struggles, triumphs, and everyday lives of its characters with remarkable authenticity.

Carl, Karl, Carl & Karl: VENUS VALLEY’S favourite philosophers
Bittersweetly, it’s almost time for me to finish doing what I’ve been doing and hand over to you, queerly beloveds: Over to you, to take what you’ve hopefully learned from what I’ve hopefully taught, and give it a go yourself.

A Deeper Understanding
Growing up in high school in the early 2000's i didn't have much of an understanding of the LGBTQI+ community, as a whole. It wasn't until i went to university, almost a decade later, that i began to meet people from this community and learn to appreciate them for who they were. I even became good friends and romantically attracted to a girl who was bisexual and even attempted to ask her out at one point, but nothing came of it.
