February 29, 2016 is when my best friend Cristal and I went to Walmart shopping center to do a little grocery shopping. As we were getting out the car and heading in, we noticed some employees on the side of the building that were taking a break, and these employees were men. As we continued to walk in, they started yelling “Hey ma, wassup” and us ignoring them, we had no clue that one of the guys were going to run up behind us. He tapped me on my shoulders and once again was like “Hey ma, wassup” and me being who I am I turned around and was like I am gay and this is my girlfriend please leave us alone. He instantly turned around while saying “oh my bad shawty” and we went on about our day.

The diversity that may be found all around the world and in our very community has always fascinated me. I am aware that it is a widely held belief that being a minority is considered a disadvantage in various aspects and I would disagree with this. Diversity and culture is a two-way street- as a community, whether that be society as a whole or simply a freshman class, we have the potential to be able to learn from each other. I believe that my status as an underrepresented minority has shaped me into the person I am today. Despite moving to the United States at a young age and being a first-generation college student , I am grateful for the privilege to be able to further my education at the University of Utah.

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. Let me tell you this, there is no amount of hints you can drop that will make two gold star Catholic parents ponder, “Hmm, I think my daughter, just might be a boy,” even if you go the extra mile to the most tomboy person imaginable, cut all your hair off, only wear boy clothes, and develops an obsession with studying trans people while reporting back to them. Not even for second will it cross their minds.

In the past I have struggled with my biracial identity. As a child I was confused about which community I belonged in because I am a mix of Navajo and Caucasian. As I got older, I began to question myself and who I was. I felt like I did not belong to either the Native or Caucasian community because in both groups I felt like someone else. I felt as if I had to live two lives that were completely separated.

There was a man standing by the lake. He bent over, pulled his pants down, and used the restroom in front of everybody. The norm violation chose to do was to go to the movie theater and watch Dead Pool, which is a very bad movie for kids.

My parents, like most of us in the U.S., immigrated with dreams for a better future, but also feared the cultural unknowns. Three out of my four siblings have received a college education and I am who they consider as the trailblazer and the catalyst that left Houston, TX to attend university and study abroad for a larger view of life, and left no room for fear in her luggage. Growing up my father worked in construction and instilled in me a strong work ethic, dependability, and to strive for success that has molded me to be the fearless woman I am today.

Growing up with strict, religious parents gave me a narrow perspective on life – that is, I was pretty homophobic and racist. Initially, my parents had planned for me to attend a private religious school, but I wasn’t having it and ended up enrolled at the local public elementary school instead. Here, I met people that gave from a huge variety of lifestyles, from super spoiled to living below the poverty line. However, we were all the same once we got to school and the more that I got to know my peers, the more I began to question everything that my parents had taught me. My friends who were followers of different religions exposed me to drastically different cultures than the one that I knew and so overtime, I became much more open minded

Something I stand for is Lesbian, Gays, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT). As i’ve always said, do people feel threatened by them? “Gay rights are human rights.” That quote basically say that “Gays” are humans too and the drama they have to go through is just more trouble in the world. If people have a problem with the LGBT community they have to find a way to deal with it while respecting their rights.

My identity as a gay man directly impacted my GPA of my undergraduate degree due to the impact it has had in my overall life. My experiences with homophobia from outside the gay community, and pressures from within it, impacted my ability to focus on school during my undergrad. The moment when my GPA drops, as well as its climb upwards since initially attaining my degree, is directly connected to the issues going on in my life at the time because of my sexuality. As a young gay man, particularly in the early 2000s, there were no examples or roadmaps to how healthy relationships look.

In the autumn of my freshman year I caused an uproar within the Bishop household, and one with such undignified fervor. All with a few taps of the glowing keys beneath my fingers and a tremulous heart set on relief. Before the revelation, the only consolation my mind had found was first at the top of a building, and then peacefully slipping through the air. Change was vital — in every sense of the word — and it all began with a click. I came out and shouted on my bright screen, “I’m allowed to be happy with myself!

My personal narrative. “Keep all hands and feet inside the cart at all times, and do not forget to look at the camera and smile” stated the ride operator at Busch Gardens. As the seatbelts made a “clink” I could feel my heart racing. I never thought that I would ride Sheikra which is one of the fastest rides at that amusement park going at an estimated speed of seventy miles per hour. With every curve my heart pounded, but I loved the adrenaline rush that I felt.
