In my last post about QAF, I noticed how much some things seem to have changed since that show was made, even though it's only been a short while. Now I'm feeling the opposite - things are still the same. There are still hateful, selfish people trying to take away our rights, and there are still people who want to kill us.
I won't ramble on, it's all been said before. But I wanted to say that I think QAF is still so very relevant to the LGBT community, both as a group and individually.

I think you are right Georgia!

How do you define courage? Is it the absence of fear? You might think, under the weight of your fears, "I am not courageous." But maybe you have the wrong perspective. Courage can be measured in many ways, and is not the absence or denial of fear, but the willingness to act vulnerably. When you're faced with the unknown and then you stand on the edge of risk, courage brings you to the point where you are able to take flight, though you might be unsure of your wings.
