    I live in a place where my existence is perverted. It made me feel like shit because I thought I was disgusting for just being me, being called slurs and stuff like “abomination” and “pervert” when I would date another woman.

    Overcoming that was a challenge. Part of reclaiming my humanity was tongue in cheek leaning into the hurtful things I was called. I’m not sure if you ever experienced “gay” being a synonym for “bad,” but it’s fun to now call anything that is actually homosexual “gay” to take back the word. It’s nice to do this with other people that had that same experience, too.

    Being in a queer community, I think that is what is going on here with this meme.
