The letters LGBTQ are just another way of saying that Love is Love.
Charlie's Dance
She was absolutely stunning. The way her red velvet dress fanned out around her hips when she spun. The click of her shoes as her partner whirled her to and fro rang throughout the hall. Charlie had never seen anything so amazing. He sat on the edge of his seat, big brown eyes wide and twinkling in his awe. It was like nothing else existed but the woman and the curve of her arms inward as she spun in circle after circle, her legs occasionally dipping out to make her look long and graceful.

The Hendersons: How this couple got started on YouTube

When I met him, he identified as Shameka. We moved to New York City after graduation in 2014 and a year later, he began his transition to Bryce.

Beth and Sarah
"Oh, it's that time, look at what came in the mail for you!" "Nooooo. No no no-no-no. How did they find my address?" "Okay, you realize it's just your high school reunion right? Your acting like the mafia is out to get you and they sent you a note to say they're coming." Sarah chuckles to herself while looking at her girlfriend in awe.

Why Bi Visibility Is Important
For as long as I can remember, I have been attracted to people of different genders. Even long before puberty, in kindergarten when liking someone had very little to do with any conscious sexual feelings and more to do with innocent butterflies. (I still maintain to this day that my first love was Jessica, when we were both four years old, even though I would struggle to put into words the difference between what I felt wrestling with her in the sofa and what I felt for other bffs I had later.)

The Third Triplet
Chapter One: On My Own "Bye Ma! I'm off to college now!" I yelled into the house, waiting for a reply. My Mother was too busy fawning over my sisters new dresses, they both went shopping again. I am one triplet, and the only boy. My Mother has always favored the girls, I was always ignored. My Father left when I was only an infant, and we had no other family to speak of. My Mother was wealthy, so we didn't want for much, but I wanted love. I had never felt that feeling, being loved by someone.

Non Binary Gender
We often hear from non-binary people that a definitive gender identity is something that makes no sense to them. It is difficult to estimate how many people identify as either male or female, but it is estimated that about 40% of trans people do not identify as male or female. It is estimated that 40-50% (or about 1 in 5) of the trans population identify as non-binary, which means that they identify neither as "male" nor as "female."

Why LGBT+ People Shouldn't Have to Come Out
It annoys me a lot that members of the LGBT+ community often are assumed straight or cis until they tell people otherwise. That they're expected to come out to inform people of their identity. It's almost like a ritual of validating themselves as regular human beings.

Why Are Labels So Important In The L.G.B.T.Q. Community?
Labeling myself hasn’t been something I’ve given much thought of until a few years ago. Years ago, when it came to my sexuality, I considered myself a lesbian. However, in the last few years, getting into the relationship I’ve been, looking back, and the relationship I’m in right now, I can say without hesitation that I am pansexual. The reason being I don’t think much about the gender of the person I’m attracted to. I’ve been attracted to men, women, transgender women, and transgender men. I’m not leaving out non binary people; I just haven’t been romantically attracted to someone who identifies with this term. If I did meet someone who, they would just fall in with those I’ve been attracted to over the years. My point being, if there was a label I would go with, it would be pansexual because it’s a label that fits me the best. This all being said though, why are labels almost a mandatory thing in the LGBTQ community? Is it even mandatory? All of this comes from my person experiences, along with a little bit of research, so I’m putting that out there now. That being said, lets chat about labels.
