My Queerness Changes How I Express Myself. Is that a Harmful Stereotype?
Being Queer Set Me Free
My queerness gave me permission to BE queer
My queerness has totally changed how I express myself and any stereotype that it embraces is only harmful to the delicate scaffolding of those gripping cishet privilege like a life preserver in the ocean when all they need to do is stand up and realize the water isn’t very deep!
Prism & Pen’s latest prompt asked a great question worthy of reflection — How has queerness changed how I express myself?
Look, up in the sky — it’s a queer!
Being ejected from the closet felt like being pushed out of a plane without a parachute. But even as I fell, I realized not only did I have several parachutes I didn’t even know I’d packed, but I also had a newfound community ready to catch me in their big collective bubble of acceptance. Then, I could enjoy the free fall. Enjoy the freedom.
Because being queer 100% set me free!
… I pretty much tripped over a unicorn and stumbled out of the closet and it wasn’t until I fell out that I realized I had even been in one!
