queer, actually

this is my first christmas estranged from my biological family (for very good reasons; but it’s still painful and difficult). as an attempt at a christmas celebration & distraction, I’m headed right now to the local cinema to watch The Shape of Water with

-my partner

-one of my best friends, who was also my first lady-love/r and instrumental in my figuring out I was queer (as I was for her)

-my friend’s current partner

-my partner’s best friend

and this just makes me want to cry, over how beautiful friendship and chosen family are, they are such amazing, precious things, and i don’t know where i’d be without them. so yeah. that’s why i’m sobbing all over your dash right now.

Someone should remake Love, Actually but make all the characters LGBTQIA+ and call it Queer, Actually.

it bothers me sometimes when people assume i'm a lesbian. though i guess it's my fault that i never correct them, i just don't feel like teaching a fucking college level sociology course about gender and fluidity and blah blah blah. i get it, my girlfriend is a vegan lesbian, we have a cat and a raised box garden, it's all very lesbianish. but i'm not.
