Coming Out | I can finally start loving myself

Posted 7 years ago Tagged

When I was around 15 years old, I noticed that I had stopped having crushes on girls and felt exclusively attracted to other boys my age. The realization took some time to sink in – and it was the scariest … Read the rest here

I never realized I had to come out as gay. Personally, I have known I was gay since 5th grade. I’ve always been very small, but athletic, not overly feminine, but just enough that I considered the fact I was … Read the rest here

I am an old guy.  I buried my sexuality really deep into the shadows of my life and determined to never allow them the chance to see the light of day. Big mistake. All these years later I am finally … Read the rest here

First off, being gay and Mormon isn’t easy.  And anyone who argues different is probably straight and has a leadership calling in the Church.  I am so grateful podcasts and blogs like this exist. It has given me a sense … Read the rest here

"It's okay to be gay, just don't act on it."

They say it soft, like Sunday School teachers breaking bad news gently, like they're doing you a favor by letting you exist. But it's never kindness—it's control with a smile.

They want you half-alive, present but not touching, visible but not loving. “It’s okay to be gay, as long as you don’t do gay things.” Be who we need, they say, not who you are.

Tell a straight person they can be straight but never act on it and watch them laugh—then wait until they realize that's exactly what they asked of you. And in those few moments of clarity they realize how foolish they sound.

They call it love.
You know it’s a cage.
Now they know too.

I’m gay, but even I know 80085 usually come in a two-pack. Get it together, Costco. 😂

All of us who spelled BOOBS on a calculator in middle school feel seen. Seriously though, I’m more of a stem guy, but I respect your work.

And yes, this is real. 🎃

Kiyoshi Kuromiya (1943–2000) was born at Heart Mountain, Wyoming, the camp where the U.S. government had imprisoned his Japanese American family during World War II. In 1961, he moved from California to Philadelphia to attend the University of Pennsylvania, where he became involved in the civil rights movement.

In 1965, sheriff’s posse members beat him in Montgomery, Alabama, while he supported Black high school students who were protesting for voting rights. He knew Martin Luther King Jr. through the movement and helped care for King’s sons during the week of King’s funeral in 1968.

Alongside his civil rights work, Kuromiya advocated as an openly gay man. He joined the 1965 pickets at Independence Hall and helped found Philadelphia’s Gay Liberation Front in 1969. When AIDS devastated the community in the 1980’s, he organized with ACT UP Philadelphia and created the Critical Path AIDS Project. He believed knowledge was crucial to understanding HIV infections.

Living with HIV himself, he used Critical Path to put research about medications and clinical trials into patients’ hands through a newsletter and a 24-hour hotline. As the project expanded online, it provided free internet access to people with HIV who otherwise might have been unable to use it.

That work put him in conflict with the 1996 Communications Decency Act, whose restrictions on “indecent” online speech threatened access to safer-sex information. The government wanted to stop him from providing life saving information. Critical Path joined the ACLU’s lawsuit, and Kuromiya testified about the consequences of censorship. In 1997, the Supreme Court struck down the government’s challenged restrictions against his efforts.

Philadelphia FIGHT’s Critical Path Learning Center grew from his project and the AIDS Library. It continues to offer free health information, technology access and adult education. His original papers are preserved at the William Way LGBT Community Center.

October is LGBTQ+ History Month, a time to recognize the people who fought for our rights, shaped our culture and made life better for queer communities—including those whose stories are rarely told.
