It is strange… the reasons one feels he doesn’t deserve things.

White heterosexual male characters need not disappear from narratives. They need not stop being central focus of some stories. They just need to stop taking most of the narrative space, and make more rooms to...

Because of you, Michael, my heart begins to grow wings.

I can always recognize the fellow wounded.

Even with the Boy Scouts admitting openly gay youths, its exclusion of LGBT adults teaches our children by example what the organization really thinks about them — and what they should think about themselves.

Well, as I was saying, it costs a lot to be authentic, madam. And one can’t be stingy with these things, because you are more authentic the more you resemble what you’ve dreamed you are....

It’s time for the Boy Scouts to open its membership to LGBT adults once and for all. Only then can they claim to have anything to teach our children.

I’ve always been fascinated by weather.

Race, gender, religion, sexuality, we are all people and that’s it. We’re all people. We’re all equal.

Creed scowls. “Hardly. All he does now is mope like a goddamn teenage girl. Anytime I’m home, he’s in his room with the door locked. I’m telling you guys, he got worked over really bad...

You know, the guys there were so beautiful—they’ve lost that wounded look that fags all had 10 years ago.

Trauma or no, I would have been trans no matter what body I’d been born with. Tell the doctors that we exist for the health of humanity, which needs to find wholeness and belief in...

I am small.So are stars from a distance. It’s all a matter of perspective.

I know what I am. I know that I’ve chosen to identify as a transgender woman, and that I am – by and large – happy with where I am in this world. I’m far...

One can learn from what is not said.

Instead of saying that all gender is this or all gender id that, let’s recognize that the word gender has scores of meanings built into it. It’s an amalgamation of bodies, identities, and life experiences,...

Don’t try to be brave all at once. Take it in steps.
