LGBTQ: CULTURE

When we think about sexuality within the LGBTQ+ community, it’s often defined by desire, attraction, and sexual expression. But there’s a growing conversation around an alternative path: celibacy. For many queer folks, choosing celibacy is not about repression or denial but rather an intentional, personal decision to redirect energy away from sex and toward other aspects of life. Celibacy can...Continue Reading

Let’s get one thing straight — your body is not a problem. It is not up for debate, critique, or correction. We live in a world that has been trained to gaslight us into believing that only a narrow, rigid idea of beauty is valid. That is a lie. Let this post be a reminder and a resource. Here is...Continue Reading

Let’s be clear: love ain’t some magic cure for your broken heart or your boredom. Real love—the kind that sees you, chooses you, and grows with you—needs a solid foundation to stand on. You can’t expect it to bloom if you’re still tangled in the weeds of your last situation. And I mean really untangled—mind, heart, and spirit. Otherwise, you’re...Continue Reading

Let me tell you something right quick: Love is a shape-shifter. Shows up in different outfits and walks in through unexpected doors, sometimes uninvited, sometimes overdue. For us gay, lesbian, and queer folks, love can be incredibly layered. It’s political, personal, spiritual—it’s not just about who you hold at night; it’s about who you are when nobody’s watching. And look,...Continue Reading

Life is full of opportunities to connect, grow, and build something fresh—especially when it comes to friendships and relationships.

We’ve all been hurt, misunderstood, or let down in the past, but if we carry...Continue Reading

Let me say this with love and a little heat: if your idea of masculinity is so fragile that it crumbles at the sight of a wrist flick or a sassy walk, you might want to reevaluate who you’re performing for. Because real strength doesn’t flinch at self-expression. And authenticity? That’s a flex, no matter how it shows up. Now...Continue Reading

Listen. Let’s keep it a buck: there’s too much division in the gay community, especially when it comes to how we express masculinity and femininity. And while we’re all different, some of y’all femme gays are out here thinking that masc gays are the enemy — insecure, trying too hard, allergic to softness, scared of glitter, and ready to cross...Continue Reading

Let me say this off top: life is too short and too sacred to be stuck in limbo with folks who can’t tell you how they really feel. And if you’re constantly questioning someone’s energy, attention, or vibe toward you — especially in queer spaces — that’s a signal in itself. We’ve all been there. Trust and believe. Whether it’s...Continue Reading
