So, I guess I should start my blog off by telling you all a little bit about me. Currently, I am 24 years olds, my favorite food is anything fried, and I love to entertain people. Lastly, I just so happen to be gay. It's hard to put something like that out on the internet for anyone and everyone to read, but I think it's one of the first steps in fully becoming myself. I, like many people in the LGBTQ community, struggled with this notion of "being gay". I mean after all I was in a relationship with a great guy for nearly two years. We will call him Matthew. We said I love you, we held hands, and he was my best friend. Isn't that what love is supposed to be? And I never truly understood why it was all so difficult. If this was truly "love", …show more content…

Thanks to Matthew I was finally able to begin to take the next step in my life. However, this "step" was more of a step back. At this time I was in college, and on top of moving away from home, tons of course work and a job, I had now lost my only security blanket. Matthew was hours away and after we broke up I lost my best friend and the only one who knew about me. I no longer had a best friend that I could talk to. I would then become extremely sad, depressed, and anxious all the time. (Now I will back track just a tad.

It made me feel normal during a time I felt that I was not.) Back to college now, I returned back to the internet for comfort. In fact, it is where I met my current girlfriend and I found other people who were struggling just like me. Granted I made a few mistakes along the way, but eventually I found writers, Youtubers, and characters of tv shows or movies, that inspired me to move on and feel somewhat normal. (Maybe I will share these in another

First Draft Why is it that more masculine homosexual women get the label of wanting to be the opposite sex? Majority of women that do not fit the category of the type of “lesbian” guys like are often bullied, called a man, accused of wanting to be a man or even are attacked by males. The “lesbian” that guys like are the more feminine women that guys see as pleasure or wanting to be a part of the group. In most cases i’ve personally experienced guys only want something to do with lesbians if they can join in and be a part of their relationship sexually. Most of these things happen because from how I see it, due to being threatened that they believe that lesbians are here to take their place.

I was born trans, and I will die trans. There is nothing parent’s, my priest, or myself could have done or will do to change that. I came out as transgender the summer before I started high school, and let me tell you this, it was quite a shock to my parents.

The gay topic in hip hop is not trying to destroy hip hop. Cashun is a gay rapper, who challenged the homophobia with enough dignity. “Disidentification resists an unproductive turn toward good dog/bad dog criticism and instead leads to an identification that is both meditated and immediate, a disidentification that enables politics.” Black gay folks who are in the middle of different dominances find the practice of disidentificacion more seductive and enabling than major subjects.

Homosexuality was once considered sacred in ancient Rome, albeit being treated poorly since the middle ages. Like this, homosexuality has been suppressed for a long time and thenceforth, the public opinion towards it has been on a downward road until recent years when LGBT groups started stepping up front and coming out along with the increasing controversy towards their rights.
