When we Stand Together, We Expand Together
I am not queer. That feels important to say—not to center myself, but to be honest about the position I speak from. I don’t know what it’s like to walk into a room and immediately scan it for safety, wondering if a glance, a joke, or a single word might shift everything. But I know what it means to love someone who does. I know what it’s like to watch someone soften their voice or swallow their truth. I’ve seen people I care about carry themselves with quiet courage in a world that makes their identity a battleground.

The Bold and the Fabulous . Content Warning.
The art of embracing our true selves is something that we should be doing unapologetically. For yours truly, the journey from hiding the real me to being out and proud was a difficult one. I'm going to share my own personal story and how I'm living my life today as a gay man.

Why I’m Proud of My Roots: A First-Generation Immigrant’s Voice
Why I’m Proud of My Roots: A First-Generation Immigrant’s Voice Introduction: Who I Am and Where I Come From They say identity is a journey. For me, it has been an ocean—deep, unpredictable, and endlessly vast. I was born in a land where my name was not strange, my accent was not noticeable, and my food didn’t need translation. But that land became a memory when my family moved across continents, chasing a better life and sacrificing almost everything familiar to start from zero. I became a first-generation immigrant overnight—young, confused, and silently holding the weight of two worlds.

A Girl Named Parker. Runner-Up in Pride Under Pressure Challenge.
Over morning coffee I read a newspaper article about a couple who bought an oceanfront property in France. It seems the shells on their new beach were rather boring. So the wife/mother had a servant go out every day to place dazzling seashells along the route she’d later walk with her children.

What Color is your Dress?
I am bisexual, it is a part of me… but it has never been much of a struggle. I am extremely fortunate in this, and thankful too. I have aways just found that women are beautiful too. As a child it never hindered me. I wasn’t a very sexual child, even as I grew older. I was what you might call a late bloomer. Sex and all that it entailed did not interest me like it did my fellow highschoolers. Later when sexuality was a thing, I was still shy. I still am in some ways. I have never dated a woman. I have had some fun a time or ten in my life with a lady but never anything serious. Sorry to the gentlemen out there, but I have found that women are the better kissers. I tended to study that phenomenon particularly when I was out drinking. Honestly, I wouldn’t know how to go about dating a woman… Gods to be honest socially it’s difficult for me to initiate things with any sex. I’m not ashamed of that, even at my age, we all are who we are. That being said, I am not shy about who I am and I believe people have the right to be who they are.

Velma Was Always LGBT, Stop Pretending She's Not
When I called out a wave of cancellations of shows that featured massive amounts of representation of marginalized communities, one of the many things I said at that time was that there were two shows that I was the most fearful for: Chucky and Velma. I wish I could be wrong about something for a change. Sure enough, both shows had been cancelled since I wrote that piece. While the Chucky cancellation angered me more, I want to focus on Velma, because I've been sitting on this for many months.

The Empty stomach of lion.. Content Warning.
In the heart of the vast, sun-baked savannah, a lion named Kovu wandered alone. Once the feared leader of the Roaring Pride, Kovu now walked with a limp and a sunken belly. His mane, once thick and golden, had begun to gray around the edges, and his ribs pressed against his skin like the bones of a broken cage.
