Remember when cancer was a death sentence? Remember when “living with HIV/AIDS” meant social ostracism even as your own body betrayed you?

I wrote stories about a future that saw life beyond diagnosis.
I wrote stories about The Present.
I can finally see the world changing for the better, and it fills me with so much emotion, it brings me to tears.

I feel Hope.

An Epiphany

1 min read
I exist. With or without anyone to call on me everyday, to think of me and wish for my company.

I exist. And those that matter and love me will find me when they can, not when they have to or need to.

I exist. A man born into a body with which I could never quite fit, but I have still grown and still can make it my own.

I love those who love me. I want those who want me.
I do not NEED anyone because,
even when I am all alone,
I EXIST.

And no one, friend or fake, can take that away from me now.

How long have I been missing you?
You say my words are killing you
You begged me always speak my mind
Open my mouth and you will find
my heart
on my tongue
beating down, bleeding from
the hole dug 
in my gut
wondering just what
I did wrong

So let these lyrics feel like torture
Grind my voice into a knife
Let this music be your murder
IF IT BRINGS YOU BACK TO LIFE

Love Wins

2 min read

I've never been one of those people that day-dreamed about being married to one person for the rest of my life, due in some parts to my polyamorous heart and in other parts to my fear of accidentally tying myself to a person who then decides that neither of us can have sex or fall in love with any one else "so long as we both shall" suffer in miserable silence.

So why does marriage equality matter to me in any way? 
Because it's a matter of civil rights? Well, duh, although it saddens me to realize how many "equal peoples" turn a blind eye to that fact. But that's not why it really MEANS something to me, why it personally affects my own selfish little reality.

True marriage equality matters to me because I am FtM transgender with enough general legal knowledge to know that, at some point, marrying one of my companions may be the only way to protect and care for him/her. But my birth certificate will always declare me a 'legal' female, making any potential marriage to a female love a "same-sex marriage." 
And yet, as a transitioned male, if I attempted to wed a male love, those who would denounce equal marriage rights would deny us the opportunity because I 'chose to be a guy'.

So, yeah, same-sex marriage rights directly affect me even though I have no active interest or intentions to tie any knots with any gender.

Also, there's that little softie inside me that just genuinely enjoys seeing other people be happy, and love is number one leading cause of happiness.

So #BeHappy, everyboy. 
#LoveWins
