In Case Anyone Needs This

In case anyone needs this

Hey pal…

Keep reading

I'm so tired of always being "the Mormon" or "the queer" in every space that I'm in I'm tired of being the representative of entire diverse communities I'm tired of being patronized I'm tired of being a freak I'm tired of stressing about every word I say I'm tired of explaining and justifying myself I'm tired of supposedly accepting and loving people on both sides hating me I'm tired of the anxiety I get every time I come out as a queer mormon I'm just so tired.

So funny little story that I randomly remembered, is this one day I’m rambling at work about LoTR, and then as a chatty rambler does I ended up switching topics because “oh that reminds me [insert new topic here for next half an hour]” anyway, at some point i mentioned I was gay and my coworker just basically makes this “finally” gesture and says that she couldt tell if I was gay or not because of how much I was rambling about LoTR earlier because apparently, in her experience nobody loves LoTR more than the gays, to which I responded that the Mormons might. And she laughed, and said that it was funny because she’s both(okay technically I think she’s an ex-mo, but that’s not the point) and then I laughed because guess what? I am too!

SPREAD THIS ALL OVER TUMBLR FOR NO REASON

Just randomly remembered when I was applying for a job, and they had me do this little survey thing, and one of the questions was “how would a friend describe you in three words” and I’m like, fetch, I dunno, lemme ask some of em, and so I go and ask like hey, this is random but describe me in three words, and one goes: intelligent, talkative, and protective. The first two definitely, the third one, I mean, I like to think of myself as protective, and I think my sisters and parents, especially my parents actually lol, would say I am for sure, but like, what have I done around this friend that would make them think I’m protective? So that was fun, anyhow, now for the funny one, the other friend I asked, right, she goes, and with zero hesitation mind you, Mormon gay panic. I probably stared at that for a solid five minutes while my brain buffered and like… I’m sorry, lemme give you the context here because you seem to have misunderstood the assignment, this is for a job application. So yeah I kinda used the first friends words.

This man is something else I swear 🤣🤣
