“One thing that’s come up a lot in our sesions lately is how I struggle with how judgey our queer community can be. I feel like there is this cancer on progressiveness, and I find it unsettling how quickly millennial queers can condemn other queers for not being as progressive as they are. It’s like people get shut down for saying the wrong thing before they have a chance to explain themselves. We didn’t come into this world knowing everything. We were all blank slates and learned as we grew.
It’s like we no longer know how to have open dialogue with each other. You either get it or you don’t, and if you don’t you’re condemned and cast out of the community. There are so many double standards within our community. We hate it when conservatives shove their ideals down our throats and yet we do it to each other.
Through therapy and lots of practice, I am learning to speak my truth, to articulate myself in ways that will be received constructively. In the way I know how I continue to work on having an open dialogue with both myself and my community everyday” - @lmheinsdale - Issue 6, The Mental Health Edition - Digital & Print copies available, link in bio for purchase.

“I am forever grateful for the strength and the skills that my grandparents taught and instilled in me. Their unconditional love and nurturing spirit helped me survive an abusive environment and taught me to embrace who I was - not hide it. I carry that with me in my work as a butch photographer, artist and individual’. - From the sweetheart that is @kershbranz , Issue 5, the work edition.

“What I’ve found in the existing research and literature is a gap in LGBTQ+ workplace research when it comes to those of us for whom passing as straight is not really an option.”.
.
.
In order to affect change we need folks in traditionally gate kept hetero environments to create the tools (like research) that enable us as a society to progress and evolve. Michelle tirelessly works and utilizes her unique skill set and position to push for workplace equality, lgbtq+ rights and social change. To be queer and to be employed by these systems can sometimes feel like a conflict in values, but remember, if it’s not you holding space, it’s just gonna be another cis het white man. Do not be intimidated by the gatekeepers. Stand your ground. Hold your space. Push your agenda.
