Happy National Coming Out Day from your usual queerdo, bi the way. I love spending relaxed moments at my favorite place and yeah this sign of no smoking and vaping is a sober vibe for me for sure. Love you all as always. :D

It's queer poc sadness time bitches.

(tw homophobia btw, it's not very serious but it's there)

I found a middle aged lesbian desi couple on Instagram and I deadass cried for 10 minutes straight. I didn't think it would happen for me, let alone older generations, I didn't think it was possible for people to break out of the ingrained homophobia of the traditional Bengali society but they did it and I feel hopeful for the first time in a long while. I thought I would have to be the generation to show people before and after us "look we're here and we're ok. look at us being here and thriving" and it didn't seem the most enticing future. I don't want to be the role models, I'm not a representation of every queer desi person ever and I'm not a walking dictionary. But I'd do it for my little sister who told me that my dad thinks women can't get married to other women. I'd do it for her, who got told by an auntie that it's terrible that they're being taught gay people exist in schools. I'd do it for her. But finding these people makes me think that maybe I don't have to. Maybe they live in Canada and it's gonna be really difficult finding people who are nearby but they're on my screen, in my pocket and the confirmation blooms in my chest. It has happened before and it could happen for me.

I don’t give a Tamn if I look awful with my current beard and moustache, I still am hair to stay and I feel great in my non-binary finery. Also my Skeletor shirt still goes “Myaaah!”

মানুষ বলে মিথ‍‌্যা কথা বলা মহাপাপ | সত্য বলা উত্তম | আমি ভাবি তারা কি এটা তখনও বলবে যখন আমি নিজেকে গে আর ট্র্যান্সজেন্ডান ডাকব | সারা জীবন মিথ্য়াই বলে আসছি | "স্ট্রেইট" "ছেলে" সব মিথ্যা | এমনটা না যে আমার মিথ্য়া বলার কোনো শখ আছে, আমি চাই সত্য বলতে | আমি চাই সূৃর্যের মতো আমিও নীল আকাশে জ্বলতে, কিন্তু আমাকে জোর করে রাতের খাঁচায় বন্দি করা হয়েছে | খাচায় আমার বন্ধু চাঁদ | আমি চাই রংধনুর রঙে রঞ্জিত হতে,কিন্তু আমাকে মেঘের পিছনে লুকাতে হয়| সত্যি কথা বলতে বলে কিন্তু যথন বলি তখন পাথর মারে | আসলে তাদের মতো মিথ্যুক আর কোনো জায়গায় নাই |
