Yeah, I feel lucky to have parents who are supportive of my sexuality and gender. Like they get very confused sometimes because I use they/them pronouns, but I understand that it's hard to get. My ex-stepdad was an absolute fucking dickhead, I'm glad he's not in my life anymore. But yeah, a lot of these stories about queer people being kicked out or killed really just hurts everytime I hear it. Like recently there was a dancer (who was my age!), O'Shae Sibley, who was voguing to Beyonce at a petrol station was killed. Like... it hurts, it really hurts.
