Identity

Queer Vocal Voices 2.0. Top Story - August 2025.
Hello! If you can believe it, Queer Vocal Voices on Facebook is a year and a half old! We figured with the changing landscape on Vocal, which has caused low interaction across the board, we would make some changes to the group. Yeah, a glow up! Lets take a walk down memory lane to why we started this group, and what we hoped to accomplish. You coming?

Beyond the Rainbow: Stories of Courage
I used to think courage looked like something out of a movie. Charging into burning buildings. Standing on grand stages. Speaking bold truths to crowds of thousands. That kind of big, bold, spotlighted bravery.

When My Son Came Out, I Finally Stepped Into the Light Too
For most of my life, I wore a mask. Not the kind you put on during Halloween, but the invisible kind — the one that fits so tightly it becomes part of your skin. I wore the mask of a strong, dependable parent. I wore the mask of someone who had it all figured out. But most of all, I wore the mask of someone who was entirely straight.

Love Without Labels
A Story of Courage, Defiance, and Timeless Love There are movies that entertain. Then there are films that shift your soul, that whisper truths society tries to bury. Elisa & Marcela (2019), directed by Isabel Coixet, is one such masterpiece. Based on a true story from early 20th century Spain, it chronicles the love between two women—Elisa Sánchez Loriga and Marcela Gracia Ibeas—who defied the odds to be together in a world where their love was seen as sin.

I could be a drag king 🤴 🏳️‍🌈
I could be a drag king and I have dressed in drag before and it felt right because it was right. I went to the Halloween parade in Greenwich village dressed as Gomez Addams, the Raul Julia one.

Hate crimes of any kind must stop
I had never gotten the chance to express my condolences to the victims of the senseless hate crime shooting that took place at Pulse nightclub club in Florida 🏳️‍🌈 until now. It is really disgusting how anybody can hate someone because of raise because of gender and actually take it out on anyone. Hate crimes must be stopped. I had some social media friends who had friends over there that night. The shooting took place. can only imagine the pain that they all felt and it is tremendous and you gotta stop being intrigued by I hate

There is nothing wrong with drag queens reading books to children
There is nothing traumatizing about drag queens or drag kings reading storybooks. Please tell me what is so traumatic about about a person who dresses as a gender opposite of their birth gender who reads a book to children? I bet you can’t tell me because their is nothing traumatizing about it. It is traumatizing what small minds put in to children’s heads and the ignorance there is where the real traumas for children lie. Although this article is brief by point has most definitely been made as well as my case had been argued and represented in the best way.

Gender neutral bathrooms exist
progress has been made as far as the toileting issue where there is now a unisex bathroom available for all. Transgender people have the right to bathroom wherever they want to. Nobody has tell you what you can and cannot use your bathroom, regardless of your sexuality, your race or whatever. I must say that I support the unisex bathroom myself. I do use the unisex bathroom when I have a chance in order show solitary for the progress made. Using the bathroom really is also a human rights issue. It’s a issue of rights too. You cannot tell person where they can use the bathroom based on their base and ethnicity and anything else.
