The difference between a story and a myth is that one is spoken, and one is whispered with just a hint of hopeful awe

The instructions weren’t clear. I have now caught moth man in a small jar.

Yes you have caught Mothman- but I don't think they particularly like being trapped in a jar.

Hey everybody! It’s October 8th, 2019 and the Supreme Court debates whether or not it should be legal for employers to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people. It should come as no surprise that, as a queer person, this is something that I’m passionate about, but also as someone who was fired for their sexuality.

In many states, a workplace doesn’t have to give you a reason when they fire you. This was the case at the zoo where I worked, briefly, in 2012. I had recently come out to my family and they were very accepting, and I thought that maybe the rest of the world wasn’t so bad.

So when my co-worker at the ticket booth asked me if I had a boyfriend, I said-

“No, but I have a girlfriend.”

Because after years of lying about who I was to strangers and trying to fit in, I was tired.

And I was fired the next day.

Every day my dad would joke with me when I came home: “Did they fire you yet?”

And that day, the answer was ‘yes.’ I think I cried for six hours.

I did find other jobs, because there are lots of jobs in the customer service industry. But I learned to keep myself hidden again, and that’s not right. The place I work at now doesn’t care if I’m gay as long as I get my work done, and it’s great. But the minute I outed myself at work there was a pause while I reasoned how fast I could get another job.

And even so- coming out is a process. I am constantly coming out again with every new person that joins the crew and wants to know about my family. Each time I do this, I have to make sure that there’s someone in the room that has my back- which isn’t always the case.

People learn, people grow, people get used to it. And now that I’m very good at what I do, I know that I’m not in danger of losing my job for talking about my life in the same way that cis-hets get to talk about theirs. (Though I still avoid talk of nonbinarism around them. Some steps are just too big for a lot of people.)

Let me make this clear:

I am VERY lucky.

I live in a city with a bursting LGBTQ+ community, where most people have worked with us in some capacity and have acclimated to the fact that we’re allowed to exist in the same space. When I was fired, I could go to my parents for moral support.

Not everyone has this. In fact, just half an hour away from where I live it is a whole lot worse. The majority of homeless people are trans people who lost their family support when they came out. I am very lucky.

At some point, religious rights are going to be brought up. It’s a fact of the matter- when LGBTQ+ rights are at stake, religion is going to be a factor. They will talk in hypotheticals, they will bring up scripture. Listen closely to what they say and how they say it. Those words are going to be repeated, whether the decision is in their favor or not. Arm yourselves with words.

So whatever the outcome of this debate, a debate which is frankly ridiculous to have in 2019, remember that this is a real problem affecting real people. It isn’t just a thought exercise or a morality simulation. It is embarrassing to have to debate your right to contribute to society, but here we are.

Hi, I just want to clarify for everyone reading this post that these aren’t just debates. SCOTUS doesn’t just waste their time to hear a debate. This is the presentation of arguments from each side to rule on this matter. Three cases are being ARGUED in front of the Supreme Court for a RULING. This is an official thing. I’m bisexual and non-binary and I understand the gravity of this situation but also I went to law school and we shouldn’t downplay this to just being a debate when it’s an actual official procedure in our justice system. This is a Supreme Court ruling that will change many lives in either capacity. Please pay attention to this matter today

Actually, this is a very important reblog.
