People change – that’s a fact of life. My coming-out story is like many other LGBTQ individuals. My loved ones said horrible, hurtful things when I made the tough and personal decision to come out.
I think about these experiences as I reflect on the recent decisions made by the U.S. Supreme Court, including their most recent ruling overturning Roe v.
Wade. It’s easy to believe that things are changing for the worse. Without action, we could be headed back to a time with fewer rights and opportunities.
However, as I think back on a conversation I had with my dad, I am reminded that oftentimes change can be good. This past Father’s Day, I sent my dad coffee from the trans-owned coffee shop I frequent.
