The letters LGBTQ are just another way of saying that Love is Love.
Internalized Homophobia within the LGBT Community
Internalized Homophobia within the LGBTQI Community Internalized homophobia is a real thing, as many in our community are continually invalidating who we are. Many, though its sad to say, also work to marginalize and even oppress the voices within our community. Whether it is in our sexuality, self-worth, identity, expressions, and our rights as human beings, we as a community tend to project our internalized homophobia on others.

LGBTQ+
Why does it matter how a person grows up? How they were treated or looked upon? I believe that one’s natural surroundings from birth dictate how they will treat others and how they act in later years. This is a story of me and how I knew that I was bi-sexual.

You Have To Go
“You have to go.” “Why?” “You’ll be killed.” There's no fear in her voice. Because fear does not belong in her voice. The words are said rather matter-of-fact. She can feel the roll of hatred, has been feeling it all night issuing across the space between them and although it's meters in reality, it's mere cells apart in their minds and bodies and she feels the anger like it's her own. In fact her own may be contributing. A positive feedback loop building up on each other.

Dating a College Jock ...when you are 42
A few weeks after I had returned home to the U.S, I saw a new facebook request. The name looked slightly familiar - as did the picture, but I couldn't quite place it. When I looked more in depth at the profile, it suddenly clicked, it was Pablo.

The Closet
Nothing has ever gone my way, ever since I was born. I was born premature (weighing 1lb 9oz), diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at the age of two, and have been struggling with my gender identity and sexuality since elementary school. I'd like to disclose that my family is not practicing any religion.

You leave me speechless
There wasn't much to say about her - if saying nothing meant saying everything. In truth, Lexi left her speechless. All she wanted to do was make her happy, loved, noticed. The girl wanted to tell her how much she meant to her, and whilst Lexi acknowledged it, was grateful for it, it didn't feel enough - she wanted to say more, do more but couldn't.

LGBT History Part-1
We all know the LGBT community has had a long and difficult road, but not many of us know the details of how they have struggled. In school, we learn history over wars, slave times, the Black Plague, and The Holocaust. However, our teachers have never taught us about LGBT History and how they have gotten the rights they have today. A lot of the history they have taught us involves the LGBT community, our teachers, and history books always left that part out.
