Dropping The T
I have started and stopped this blog multiple times because it is hard to write about a mainstream label put onto a group of individuals. Though at the end of the day I need to be comfortable in embracing this as a strength of our community. What acronym or label am I referencing you ask? That’s the LGBT+ “label” used to describe the repeatedly marginalized community that is forever struggling to…

Love Floods Hateful Hearts
When I reflect back on 2017 many instances come to my mind. From moments like Australia, Malta, and Germany all legalizing same-sex marriage. Adding to the already medium sized list of countries that recognize that love is love. But I also reflect on moments that set my soul on fire. Similar to watching someone throw away perfectly fine Taco Bell. It is these moments that give me the motivation…

#SundayThoughts
Gay and Bisexual men are 7 times more likely to binge and 12 times more likely to purge than heterosexual men. Overall gay and bisexual men are at high risk of developing an eating disorder.
But why? Without writing an entire chapter novel on this subject, I'll keep it brief. Within an already marginalized community, there is an order based on your body type. Mainstream gay media intensifies this by hyper-sexualizing the ideal male physique. In mobile apps created to connect the community they allow for profile options where you choose what "body type" you are. So literally, you can go from a "muscle jock" to a "bear" if you stop going to the gym for awhile. Many LGBT social gatherings, clubs, bars, and public events are segmented based on these categories which again are completely based on your physical appearance.
In some situations, individuals will not even speak to you or interact with you if you don't meet the "body type" that they see as attractive. I'm talking a full cold shoulder turn or side eye of wondering why you are speaking. In both social and professional settings. Though if you lose a noticeable amount of weight they will then reply to a simple greeting.
But let's say you're an 18/19-year-old gay man that is struggling to find acceptance in school and at home. You turn to our own community but yet you are ostracized based on your body. Your entire life you've been rejected and you know the only way you'll find acceptance is being in "ideal physique" so you purge your lunches and avoid eating. You then rapidly lose those 50 lbs that were keeping you from being accepted. But now you deal with malnutrition, dental issues, and other medical challenges that stem from an eating disorder. But at least you're now accepted, right?
If you've made it this far, you're a rockstar. I share this information because it is important to know that your gay best friend might be struggling. So after you ask them for advice on what to wear, ask how they're doing. And with anyone suffering from an eating disorder, help them get the help they need to feel comfortable in a healthy & happy body.

#NewBlog about #Trump of course! #TrumpCare #StandingRock #OurAmerica #Reblog
As I sit in the hallways of my University waiting for class to begin I figured I might as well post rather that doing my homework. Rational thinking, right? It has been such an interesting roller coaster for this country since we got an entire new administration. Can you believe that it has only been 68 days since Trump moved into the White House. Not to depress you or excite you, wherever you…

#TAKEACTION A list of #senators that voted for #BetsyDeVos. #NewBlogPost #KidsMatter
With the recent confirmation of Betsy DeVos as our Secretary of Education we can all rest assured that our children will receive a subpar education at no fault of our hardworking teachers but will be protected from grizzly attacks. In the true democratic spirit I have written a letter to the senators that voted in favor of her confirmation as well as listed them below. In addition, I have also…
