Dark Side of Traditional Values: Bigotry Hiding Behind a Harmless Phrase
The LGBTQ+ community faces discrimination every single day. From workplace harassment to violence in the streets, it’s clear that some people have a deep-seated hatred for those who identify as anything other than heterosexual and cisgender.

I quit. I'm gay.
“I quit.” Month after month of working myself to exhaustion at a high stress job that gave me a good paycheck at the expense of my self worth had finally come to an end, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted to jump right back into it.

Carry Pride in your Heart (Micro-nonfiction)
My First Pride I will always remember my first Pride event. I went to one at the approximate age of 11/12. My identity at the time was confined to the pressures placed upon it by others.

That was the start of my journey, my self-discovery.
