First Blog

Hello all!
This is my first blog on this site, and I am very excited to begin these conversations. This initial blog post is mainly just to explain what this site is all about, and my main goal.

There are often times when I will have conversations with friends or family members about certain LGBTQ+ topics. As a transgender man, there are of things I have observed through society that have happened with LGBTQ+ people, and I also have personal experiences with many of these topics. I am very fortunate to come from an accepting family, although I know of many people who are not as lucky.
I firmly believe that knowledge can lead to acceptance, as many people fear the unknown and that fear often unfortunately morphs into hatred and bigotry. That is why this blog’s main purpose is to talk about different LGBTQ+ issues and topics, spread awareness, and hopefully get people to understand the LGBTQ+ community a little bit better.

I do not speak for the entire LGBTQ+ community, nor could I. Everyone has their own views, and everyone is entitled to their own opinions of whomever. Unfortunately I have seen many of these misguided opinions lead to hatred and unacceptance that can be detrimental to the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is to spread awareness and to possibly change some misguided and dangerous views.
I am always up for respectful conversations on any of the topics I write about, after all I am just one person and there is a whole world of people and information and viewpoints that I have never seen before. I come from a family who loves to kindly debate, and they have taught me how to see other viewpoints and to know how to respectfully engage in conversations. Some topics I will generally be more headstrong on, but I am open to those most of all. Like I said, I am just one person in a whole world of knowledge and experiences.

No matter who you are, all are welcome on this blog to converse or to just read at their leisure. There is never any hatred here.

Thank you for reading!
