i mean a huge part of lgbt culture is the whole “it’s not a phase” and “i’m not confused" thing but that’s just not really true y'know?
like here’s to the people that have gone through countless labels, and still can’t find one that fits here’s to the people that have declared a label, but then realized that label might not be accurate here’s to the people that have to come out 1,000 times because their identity is constantly changing here’s to the people who are confused, and have gone through phases. you’re real and you’re valid.
i love all of you. you don’t have to have everything figured out to be lgbt

yeah this
or who have decided that a label isn't really gonna work so are dissatisfied every time we come out
like me
my queer identity was a huge part of my everyday social and political life when I was younger
now that my lived experience is more visibly heterosexual and my activism has shifted to racial justice more...
...the identity doesn't have the same prominence in my life anymore
maybe it's not a phase
but it's a season of my life that has now shifted into a different kind of season and different relationship with the identity
and I still want to be included and lgbtqa people are still my people
