I think that exploring #sexuality and identity is a life-long journey, but I do feel as though I've reached a place of #SelfAcceptance of my own #bisexuality, #queerness and #kinkiness that I didn't think was possible a few years ago. I'm going to honor that #SelfAcceptance this #PrideMonth. I'm going to hope that in being authentically myself, I give others permission to do the same, whether that's in #ComingOut later in life or expanding ideas of what #queerness can look like and who can belong in the #LGBTQ community. I'd like to think that this acceptance and honesty can, in some small way, serve as an alternative to the bigotry and conformity that #fascism is attempting to force on us all. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that, even a few years ago, for me, this kind of self-acceptance felt unobtainable. But somehow I've found it, and that gives me at least a little bit of hope. </thread>
