As you know I hate „allies“ invading queer spaces. As a writing challenge I wanted to write a story told from the second person for ages. I began today. Let‘s see how this works out.

Of course I am interested into feedback - but please do not expect that I care about it. I know what I want to tell and how to tell. Feedback is expectation management for myself :)

@jascha I really needed the follow up to understand your point. Parts of it come off preachy and a tad condescending to my taste.

To me, the crux of the issue is that the person you’re talking to isn’t comfortable with their sexuality. They’re not an ally; they’re still on their journey.

I also think it’s completely fine if people aren’t used to seeing everything they see in a new environment. What’s important is that lack of knowledge or understanding doesn’t turn into judgement.

@jascha In addition, the “invited but not welcome” paragraph might sound like a zinger, but it feels a bit gate-keepy to me. You can’t conditionally invite someone.

They’re either welcome, or they’re not.

@teotwaki thanks. People™ do take a flyer to a party as an invitation. But yeah, this is a part that did not work out and I am working on it.
