i love being queer! this is technically my second pride but i was so newly out last year it was still sinking in tbh. since then i’ve come out to my parents (scary) and online so now i feel like i can be more casually myself. what a relief to be in a place where i feel safe enough to accept myself and know that my trusted people accept me too. feeling love and gratitude for every queer person who shared their story with me irl or through books/media that helped me unravel my own homophobic theology and worldview before i could start to see myself.
