There are whispers of protest as you walk the streets.

This country gave you everything. It gave you a life to live without needing to fear other countries. It’s the most powerful country in the world, with a military that makes other nations cower and bend. Many people have died for this country, for the greatness that it has ascended to, and continue to fight now. They’re keeping you safe, and the life that you’ve built secure.

This country gave you education and opportunities, and a roof over your head. It has protected you and invested in you. It has given you food for your table, to partake of with your friends. You’ve worked hard, and you’ve made a life for yourself here.

And yet, discontentment is the undercurrent of daily life.

Why? Why should they be so ungrateful? Why should you be so ungrateful? This is your home.  You have a home you hope to have in the future, but for now you’re called to live here. This life is a temporary thing, but this is where you are. You’re to honour your leaders and rulers. You’re to respect those in charge.

But there is injustice, isn’t there? Even if it doesn’t affect you, even if it’s barely visible in your line of sight. There’s injustice, and oppression, and poverty. What has been good news for you hasn’t been good news for all. This country is not a perfect country.

But isn’t protesting being ungrateful for that? And what is it going to change, anyways?

All they want you to do is honour a symbol—a symbol that means so much about the country you live in. A symbol of freedom, and of power. A symbol for those who have died to protect that which this country was founded on, thrives on.

Uncompromising allegiance.

Regardless of the bad, this is still the country that has granted you freedom, and health, and life. It deserves your respect. The people that have died to ensure your freedom deserve your respect. It is a little thing to pay homage to the symbol of that.

The music plays. The crowd knows what to do. But you—hesitate.

Will you kneel, Daniel? Shadrach? Meshach? Abednego?

Or will you stand?

Oh, I don't know if I've ever known a transgendered person (or known that I know) so I can't say that I am attracted to them or not. And what does non-binary mean? I keep seeing it but no one will answer me cause I haven't come out yet and they think that I'm straight and then they get offended, but I honestly just don't know. And I think I'll wait until I fully accept it - understand it - I guess, myself, before I tell anyone. I cried myself to sleep the other night cause I was confused.

oh bby i'm so sorry, don't be so hard on yourself. labels aren't worth your tears. so call yourself queer, that's what loads of folks do if they know they aren't straight, and don't want a specific label. trust. i know it's confusing, but you are open to love, and that's a beautiful thing.

non-binary, just means that your gender doesn't fit into the binary gender model (remember 'bi' means two) of "male/female" like some of us are genderfulid- and change their gender depending on how they feel. or genderqueer, like me, who doesn't fit in the box of male or female. those are just a couple examples of non-binary, there are many different kinds.

hang in there love, it gets better once you get to decide the course of your life!
