Pride 2023 

Where would I be without my Queer Fam? I’ve made truly beautiful queer friends in Zürich, and I think I’ve dispelled the myth that I was so afraid of by moving to Switzerland: struggling to fit in. But that’s just it: I’ve never fit in; I’ve just been myself and found the people who aren’t afraid of being themselves, too. 

Queerdos find each other, embrace each other and grow together; maybe it’s because we have been rejected in so many ways, for so long.

I remember as a 6-14 year-old throwing the football in the yard with the neighborhood boys and wishing I were with the girls playing dress up; Imagining in the backyard with my best friend that we were Kelly and Dr. Sarah fighting our way through Isla Sorna, with nothing but our hiking boots and gymnastic prowess; the kids, at school calling me a f@g, making fun of my “lisp,” re-enacting the way that I walked or acted, pushing me both literally and metaphorically to the periphery of us and them. 

Somehow I look back and see my childhood as a joy, a time of creativity and exploration and uniqueness in spite outside forces that marginalized me. Maybe I can’t yet quite accept the pain I went through, or now I’m so far removed from it I can’t feel it anymore; maybe I have just always looked forward to the next thing in order to silence the demons of rejection, using that fear those kids reinforced in me to lead me towards making friends with everyone. 

And now I’m here, in Zürich, and I have found a family that I love and that loves me, in all our flawed beauty, and He says this is Good. 

I’m grateful. To be gay, to have what those straight boys and girls may never know or understand because they have never had the chance to live it, to feel it. 

And I wish them more freedom and beauty within the strict boundaries their society has set for them—the quotas of babies and jobs and sports and cars and houses and…that they must achieve.

And I go back to my party and say cheers to the queers for finding the thing.
