Politics And Queerness: Growing Up In Gay In A Historically Red Community
Identifying in the LGBTQ+ community in an area that is historically extremely conservative shaped how I viewed myself and others for years. Even though I was far more liberal than most of the people around me, I would have been at best considered a moderate in the rest of the US. I argued against multiple parts of the LGBTQ+ community, 反对性别认同, against any labels other than the original LGBT. 然而,, in becoming more and more involved in politics and gathering a greater understanding of the world around me, I came to realize that these actions hurt people and its not my place to say someone is not valid in their identities. 我不再是一个可恨的人 和评判,and if I can over the course of just a few years, others can as well. ——卡里根·霍尼菲尔德

Because of this, I was out of high school and isolated for several years. 现在, 想成为一名教师, every day is a battle against my own body and the expectations of the people who don’t believe that I can handle the life that I’ve always dreamed of. ——乔安娜·梅西内奥
不要停止思考明天
While growing up in rural south central Pennsylvania, I endured a horrific childhood thanks to my raging alcoholic/mentally ill mother and the verbally abusive grandmother who raised me. 一个笨拙而早熟的少年, 我是一个没有朋友的弃儿, who hid in the bathroom to avoid the embarrassment of no one wanting me to sit at their table in the high school cafeteria. 在我的第18个夏天, I watched as my mother was carried out of my former home in a body bag, after she died face down on our living room floor - the result of an overdose and end stage cirrhosis of the liver. 一个月后, 焦虑, grieving and extremely lacking in self worth, I escaped my own personal Hell; and as the first person in my family to go to college started undergrad two hours from home. Fast forward two decades: this week I celebrated my 42nd birthday in Dubai, as a self-made millionaire and philanthropist thanks to my successful real estate rental business and 13 years working in the Middle East. I’ve travelled to 52 countries (and counting),and I can’t remember the last time I’ve lacked a lunch date. I’d like to highlight my journey - which has been chock full of tragedies, 胜利, and adventures - to motivate and inspire others who might believe their origin determines their destination. ——布里奇特·贝利
