RE: My sexual Identity - or this box has many labels
I’m glad you’re sharing your journey with us. It’s really interesting to imagine the LGBT community NOT being inclusive! I’m so appalled that you had to go through those early experiences. But I’m glad that you can attest to progress in the LGBT community in your lifetime. That gives me hope for future progress.
LGBT people like everyone else coloured by their cultural and societies views. Some of us more some of us less. When I was young there were places where interracial relationships were frowned on in the community, or trans people were not welcome and treated as freaks by quite a few. As society evolves so does our community thankfully we might always be a tiny bit ahead of the crowed but some times not by much. When I was a kid my grandmother had Gay friends and they could be just as misogynistic as their hereto counter parts and very gender role conscious. The community and every individual in it is here because every generation before us fought not only for our rights but also to understand the human condition better and what makes us all tick. We like the rest of the world are still a work in progress.
