Introduction

My queerness is really important to me, and I noticed that the only topic I really care to blog about is Queerness, so I decided to make this blog. I feel like putting my experience as a queer person out there into the world is an important thing for me to do for myself, and perhaps it might be important/helpful to others as well. I was inspired to make this because of Rantasmo’s ’Needs More Gay’, Helene Cixous’ thoughts about how it's important for people of an oppressed group to find their identity through writing their experiences in an honest and unrestrained way, as well as a conversation I had with my best friend about how sharing one’s experiences on a public blog is especially valid/important if the stories you tell could potentially help others in situations similar to your lived experiences. I know if I knew others felt the way I felt in certain circumstances, it would’ve helped me lots, but there were times when I had to connect with fictional characters instead, but because of that, those characters are super important to me (you’ll likely get tired of my Hedwig references, just warning you ahead of time). Anyways, I wanted to make this blog, so I did, and hopefully it’ll be of help to someone, even if the only someone it helps is me.
