  • We’re a lot of close-minded folks’ first real interaction with a gay person. Some will never change, but a lot of people have their eyes opened when they realize the person they’ve been working with or talking to is queer. There’s this sudden rush of realization many of them get, where they suddenly understand that gay people are just… well… people. Regular people. People with many of the same interests, struggles, and experiences as themselves.

    I’m not pretending to be straight or hiding who I am. I’m literally just being myself. I openly talk about my boyfriend the same way anyone talks about their SO.
















  • I rented a place that had a really bad mold problem in the bathroom. We tried cleaning it but it kept coming back, it was clear it was deep in the sheetrock and baseboards (which were also rotting). I told the landlord again and again about it and he kept promising that he was planning on refurbishing it and taking care of everything.

    Well, one day he finally shows up with a big bucket of paint and just paints over everything. Didn’t even bother scraping off the old paint. That was my final sign to move. Just ridiculous he thought that would solve anything.


  • Wow, what powerful words created by a team of writers describing something make-believe that never happened. So inspiring.

    “There once was a boy who felt sad about all the awful things in the world, but then he said “Stop it world! Be good instead!” and the world listened and became good and everyone lived happily ever after!”

    There, doesn’t that help? Whenever you are overwhelmed with our dying planet, rampant corruption, and the enshittification of society as a whole; just remember my story! If you’re a child, you might just be able to convince yourself it’s really real and matters.
