Love/hate

I love being queer. I love this community. I love my dyed hair. I love my boyfriend. I love loving my boyfriend. I love the way my flags look hanging on my walls and ceiling. I love spotting another queer person in public and smiling at them knowingly. I love the feeling of looking in the mirror and realizing I *finally* love the way I look. I love seeing my community fight back and keep having hope. I love watching shows that have queer representation in them. I love that I don't feel the need to get married. I love the new people I meet in this community. I love being queer

I hate being queer. I hate the feeling of solitude. I hate the glances I get in public for the way I look. I hate that I'm scared to show affection to my boyfriend in public. I hate seeing people complain that they can't have anything rainbow because people might think they're gay. I hate losing my friends once they find out. I hate looking in the mirror and realizing that I'm *always* going to be viewed as a woman. I hate hearing about the laws being passed. I hate seeing my favorite shows get canceled because of the queer characters. I hate fearing that I might not be able to get married. I hate the way people look at me differently once they find out. I hate being queer
