I know for me as a Queer person with multiple identies sometimes in the LGBTQ community I think some of the whole of who I am does get muddled. I am not only a gender, race, class, I am "other" which at times seem to have divergent needs.
For me my identities assist in my becoming more and more authenic. I am a viable part of the whole. (IMO we all are.) If I have no self understanding, self knowledge, self acceptance how does it color the whole of which I am a part?
Anyway, here is the link to the article about the young person who is part of our LGBTQ community and more.
