Queer.

Society and my upbringing made me believe there was something wrong with me. I think that is why it was so difficult for me to come out and really accept myself for who I am. I wasn't able to come out until I was 21 and my heart goes out to anyone else who must remain in the closet to protect themselves or those who have been brave enough to come out. 

I love that I'm hella gay. I've embraced my queerness. It's a big part of who I am and not something you can choose to overlook just cause you don't like it. 

Please don't assume I'm straight if I am dating a man, that erases my identity and who I am. Not to mention it's incorrect because I'm non-binary so really any relationship I have is a queer one. 

If you really want to love and accept me you won't ignore this fact about me just because it isn't convenient for you. This is who I am. 

I made a coming out post a few years back you can read here. 

My non-binary post is here.
