Coming Out Stories. Gods. Sometime’s it feels that’s all you’re doing as a queer person. I certainly have written about the first time I came out before. I’ve written about how, being femme and cis it feels like I have a duty to keep coming out – there’s no real good stories, it’s just continual … Read More
I don’t have a nice concrete coming out story or gender affirmation story. I covered most of my earliest thoughts on gender and sexuality a couple of years ago. What I didn’t talk about was knowing what I didn’t want. I had heterosexuality patterned in front of me from the jump. If I think about … Read More
Mmm this one’s a weird one. I wrote about it a couple of years ago and honestly most of what I wrote about were feelings of community within the QUILTBAG. I’m not sure I had experiences as a child that really presaged my bisexuality. I’ve always enjoyed the company of men and women and I … Read More
I’m coming back to a Pride Blog Challenge that I’ve done before but it’s a solid one. I’ve written about my sexuality and gender before so how am I feeling today? I’m a cis woman so my gender identity is a pretty simple thing to talk about – isn’t it? Forever I’ve been known to … Read More

It was a canal boat permanently moored up and reachable through basically a field and muddy footpath. The only reason I ever went to the … Read More
What do I want to end this on? That I feel more comfort within the LGBT community that anywhere else, occaisionally my life is thrown right up against very het community standards and assumptions and I just find them weird, and slightly cold. That I know that the LGBT community has it’s own problems but … Read More
What do I want to shout? Oh hell – BE GAY! DO CRIME!
(The brief for this entry is as follows: It can be a coming out letter or a letter regarding how you hate their homophobia or whatnot. You don’t have to send it.) Dear Dad, I’m bisexual, I have been since, well, I don’t know when but I’ve known it since I was thirteen or fourteen … Read More
It has to be Annie Sprinkle’s Insta which isn’t Quiltbag themed so much as it is sex positive and artistically focused. And also run by a queer girl. I will also give a shout out to uncle David’s insta. That is more explicitly queer community focused. Not got a lot else to say really other … Read More
