Opinion

I have always lived my life unapologetically; first "Gay & Proud," and then, "Trans & Proud." I am still proud, but now I am more afraid than ever. Trans rights are under unprecedented attack, as lawmakers push policies that specifically target us. I wonder why my, or our, existence provokes such fear and hostility.

Love, in its purest form, should be safe, steady and unconditional. It should lift us up, not break us down. But for many in the LGBTQ community, love comes at a cost. It is a price paid in fear and rejection. Sometimes, it means losing everything we believe is ours.
