if you pick up anything categorized as “online poetry” all the gay booksellers are already pointing and laughing at you from the other side of the store

Queer kids deserve to become queer adults. To grow up supported. To go through adolescence finding themselves, instead of going through their 20s grieving the years they weren’t safe and had to pretend to be someone else. To be safely queer before financial independence. Wanting queer youngsters to not have a lifetime of conditioning and trauma to unpack isn’t child abuse, it is literally the opposite. Queer kids deserve to be safe.

But there was a larger loneliness, one that came from inhabiting a space she'd had no choice but to build for herself, only to find that nobody could inhabit it with her.
