This is fucking beautiful and courageous. As the grandfather of at least 2 queer humans (and all my family knows I am on the spectrum myself), I make it a point to wear queer-affirming-papa-bear-on-your-side t-shirts when we are all together. It is the only time I wear t-shirts with any type of wording or branding. When people aske me about them I tell them "I want my grandchildren to have NO misunderstanding of where I stand" . I will do my part to make sure my grandkids grow up in a world where shame has no power. It is a sacred passion for me. Love you beautiful human.
🥹💜🙏 Thank you, Shannon. This means so very much to me. And what a beautiful papa bear you are! I'm so grateful for this for your grands, and your love reverberates in your circles beyond your family as well. You're making such a difference. Thank you for being such great friend and beautiful human.
Thank you again for your courage in sharing and I'm so grateful for the freedom it has brought you! I just finished reading Nonbinary: Memoirs of Gender and Identity, Edited by Micah Rajunov and Scott Duane. I learned so much from the stories and I learned from your post here about gender and about sexuality and about all of my misconceptions. It very disturbing and humbling to me that only now, at age 59, I am beginning to understand how indoctrinated I am into a culture that has marginalized so many persons. I celebrate with you the freedom to be you, to be attracted to who you are attracted to, to love who you love. All the love and light coming your way!
💜🥹🙏 Dana, this is just truly beautiful. Thank you so much for these words, and I'm so moved and touched by your journey, your openness to keep learning and loving and the ongoing evolution taking place within you. That's all any of us can do, yea? That posture of learning and curiosity, openness and love is just magic. I'm convinced this is how we change the world. Thank you so much for your beautiful support and for being here with me and taking the time to add your voice here to the conversation. It means the world to me!
