A New Lens on Empathy
Growing up, my understanding of the LGBTQ+ community was limited. I lived in a world that celebrated heteronormativity while queer stories were either hidden or distorted. I never gave much thought to the power of representation until one evening, while watching a TV show, I saw a scene that completely changed my perspective.

A Human. Top Story - September 2024.
From the perspective of a straight man like myself, I took in the prowess and power of Jeffrey Wright’s Tony-Award winning performance as Belize in the groundbreaking play by Tony Kushner, Angels in America. I didn’t actually see the play but I noticed the bravura of Wright’s performance adapted to the small screen when the production appeared on HBO in 2003 as a miniseries. The captivating way he uses Mr. Kushner’s words allowed me to reconsider everything I knew about the LGBTQ+ community. He did one thing: make everyone human.

Why not Cecil?
My son Alex was always my son, even though he was born a female. I knew since the day that he started walking and talking that I was going to have a problem. That was the way that I saw it. I thought it was going to be a problem. Not a problem in an ignorant way. I'm open to my children being who they want to be. Just a problem in the fact that I had three other girls.

Represented
I remember the first time I truly saw LGBTQ+ representation which made me stop and think differently. It wasn’t something I actively went looking for, but I came across it while watching The Fosters. The show follows a diverse family with biological, adopted, and foster children, and one of the characters, Jude, really stood out to me. Jude was just a kid trying to figure out who he was navigating all those confusing emotions while growing up, and his storyline hit me in a way I hadn’t expected.

Restored
Change is a funny thing... It's something that is inevitable and yet I have feared it for most of my life. Even though Change is what has finally made my life feel worth living. So do I still fear it? Yes, a little. But will I try to embrace and grow as a person with each new phase and change in my life from now on? ... Maybe? I mean I'll certainly try, as I've seen how much good change can bring when embraced.
