"Trans-Lives Matter" By Benjamin Gallagher

“Trans-Lives Matter” By Benjamin Gallagher

L020A Sylvia Rivera, “Y’all Better Quiet Down” Original Authorized Video, 1973 Gay Pride Rally NYC

Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera identified themselves as transvestites. Not until the late 1960s would the Queer community begin to use the word “transsexual” to describe themselves. The word “transvestite” expressed a common…

What I Learned in Quarantine

I wanted to try something new while stuck in quarantine. Writing and drawing stories about fictional worlds liberated my mind.

I reimagined this photo with the help of GIMP. The original copy of the photo captured a moment in the Wynwood District of Miami, Fl.

Four weeks ago, the Law picked me up from Orlando, Fl. Neither of us wanted to suffer through quarantine alone. We managed to set up two…

New Pressure

  Covid-19 is misplacing a lot of human energy. From the bedroom to the living room to the front side patio, I’m trying to carve out a new routine. Yoga keeps me healthy and sane. The space between moments holds fresh air.

My lung reel love in from the Universe. I am learning how to cut time in half. The difference between last…

Summer 2019

Who: BoyKitsch

When: March 2019

Where: Osceola Park

Photos were taken by Masetakesphotos

Last night I discovered MattDoesFitness on Youtube. His fitness journey reminded me of how this blog started. Although the“Counting Calories” post spiked viewership I decided to write about Queer life.

Since then, I’ve gained weight and wrestled with the idea of bulking. The anxiety of gaining fat stemmed…

The Fantastical Man

Who: BoyKitsch™

When: December 2019

Where: Parliament House

I identified as a Gay man for the past 18 years. I was a male seeking romantic attention from another male. Fantastical men drew themselves in notebooks and stories kept in the bedroom closet. Their souls marinated in the darkness. 

I forgot about trying to find a “special” someone. The years passed by me in the streets of Orlando,…

Friendship 2019 Thank you, David, for sharing Art Basel 2019 with me. I used to fear friendship. Like a weathered stone, anxiety skipped me across the water, into the Great Unknown. And I discovered you! ❤ Benji

Honor Roll Student

BoyKitsch™️ earned 200+ views on his Go-go Audition video! Eye on the prize, everyone!  Is he a writer or just THOT Number 3? Maybe both? Did anyone see this coming? Well, maybe the parents did when they noticed the bills piling up.

Honestly, no one is more proud of me than Mom and Dad. They’re the first ones to cheer me on in life. From cradle to the dance floor, wherever I go they follow with free spirits. Growing up, their influence affected me in school, specifically the Elementary years.

“Stop trying to help me,” kids told me. The teachers placed me in a room with two classmates. I assisted mates with homework ranging from math to language arts. No one wanted my help.

“I’m not trying. I am,” the words rolled off my tongue. Now, I take a second to think about that moment when empathy and ego collided. My parents taught me to value other people’s perspectives. But other people couldn’t define empathy for me. Only I knew the difference between “trying” and “helping”.

“Thank you,” the girls said to me after every session. Similarly, I didn’t care if people defined my actions as “attention-seeking” as opposed to being vulnerable when deciding to become a Go-go dancer. So when the views reached 200 I felt not only happy but also fulfilled.

Thank you, everyone, who has been supporting me the past couple of months. Your love reassures my value in coming forth as a Queer individual with mental health challenges. With all my heart, thank you.

Love,

Go-go Boy

When: November 2019

Where: Parliament House

Who: Go-go Boy

Last Friday, I auditioned for a Go-go Boy position at Parliament House. Dancing on a box in a pair of Andrew Christian underwear brought a smile to my face. The experience taught me about Confidence. 

Yes, I felt insecure during the audition. My body could represent only the Freedom that the moment possessed. Erratic beats unraveled limbs…

The Creative City Project hosted Immerse 2019, an annual interactive artistic event in Downtown Orlando from 10/18 to 10/19.

Mother Kitsch

“Kitsch Heart” by Benjamin Gallagher

  The human heart pulls destiny out of God’s back pocket. It falls back to Earth to find a quiet corner in South Florida. The plan unfolds on papyrus paper once held by the Daughter of Re. Fingerprints outline an unanswered prayer. The heart wonders why God would ignore such a request.

Stars twinkle above the Atlantic Ocean where the heart searches for the…

“Kitsch Modern” By Benjamin Gallagher

“There’s no such thing as original content anymore!” Art Provocateurs tell me. We stand in the center of a bustling art gallery. People marvel over the twinkling ornaments hanging on each of the four walls. I roll my eyes.

“Art isn’t meant to be original,” I remind them. The AP’s laugh together, a…

“Boy Transformation”

Hello friends!

I started yoga three months ago. It helped lift me out of depression. My body learned to cope with itself. Arms, legs and belly balanced themselves on top of a beautiful heart. A beautiful heart that needed love and self-acceptance.

I offered myself the chance to believe in a greater good. Life gave me a handful of new friends in return. The old ones glittered like diamonds. Love…
