Was having this conversation with some new friends earlier and was curious. When did you guys figure out your sexuality/identity or whatever? Was there a person that helped you or a particular moment or event?

This is all a very interesting perspective, thanks for sharing! For what it's worth, I think living your true self is in itself "queer as in fuck you".

Living your true self is the most powerful thing you can do. But for me, my true self apparently needs to be visibly queer. I felt like I was losing myself when that wasn't the case.

In my case, the "fuck you" part is in being able to give a shit eating grin to people who are uncomfortable with my existence, as opposed to those people just assuming I'm one of them. I want them to know that I am not :)
