“We were taught to go a long way away,” Stanley says. “But there is no advised destination. We were adventurers. Setting out.”

“Religious leaders liberate themselves from their history of repeated anti-queer actions every time there is a new debate on queer rights. They get a clean slate even thought their hands are muddied with a history of hatred against people like me.

Why do we treat the voice of church leaders as thought they have the same level of understanding of pseudoscientific practices as medical professionals do?

“Her look is all passion
No agony
There is enough of that on the ground, with the mourners-

The contrary one
The queen
The queer
The virgin
All the women looking up, waiting for her resurrection”
― Tusiata Avia, Big Fat Brown Bitch
