From Internalized Homophobia To Gay Audacity

[@ashleyG92892]

I think,coming out later in life is more scary than anything.

[@QueerCollective]

I assume It depends on that individual’s experience and what coming out looks like for them and the support system they have

[@JoyMDors86]

As someone who’s coming out later I’d never wish this on the worst person out there. I’m learning to love myself with it but seriously internalized homophobia is no walk in the park.

[@etcwhatever]

​@@JoyMDors86same. Im shook. So many things in my head but I want to be myself. To be free. I don't want to hide a relationship; I want to do it well. Idk

You are so unbelievably beautiful 💟 As a queer person living in the MENA region, I can relate so fkn much to this self-expression battle and I'm fighting viciously.. I thank you for the safety and power you gave me sitting here behind my screen, we'll keep fighting alone yet together until we're ALL FREE and feeling Audaciously Queer

[@QueerCollective]

Thank you so much for watching. I’m glad we could connect through this content and hope you continue to find comfort in your voice and power 💕💕

I can totally relate to what you experienced in Columbia. I grew up in a small town in Indiana in the 60's. I had a hard time making peace between my sexuality and the Christian faith I was raised in. I now am part of a spiritual group with both gay and straight people. We have interfaith dialogue and people openly risk vulnerability. It's a safe place for me, and everyone in the group.

[@QueerCollective]

That’s so lovely you found a community you can connect with and feel safe in. Thank you for sharing

[@jellanonnenmacher]

it is so funny to listen to the beginning where you describe how youth was for you (for me it was also quite similar) and then seeing both of you just being straight up the coolest people...

I'm Queer and an Atheist! I love you so much, this video really helped me push back suicidal thoughts, etc, etc and calm me down.. I'm Queer and proud and I plan to cut off the abusive bigoted wastes of space that hate me for being born Queer in the future once I get to Canada- What I'm saying is, you really helped comfort me today... I know I'm not alone, it's just to comfort myself all the time. I love you all, thank you for the Queer safe space! 🏳‍🌈 🏳‍⚧⚧

[@QueerCollective]

[@hephaestion12]

Oh my god what a title please queens make me as audacious as you two! ❤ I keep trying to gay myself up and i cant get it to work haha

[@QueerCollective]

It’s all about authentic self expression and trying things you think you might never be able to pull off. Might surprise yourself! 💕

[@etcwhatever]

That internalized homophobia was so strong i couldnt even tell wlw women i found them attractive or pretty. Im bolder now 😂

[@jreamscape]

thanks for making this

[@QueerCollective]

Thank you for watching 💕

[@corderrobaxter9569]

Look at phenomena like LGBTQ2S+ affirming patriarchy. Inclusive church, marriage, psychology, and sex slavery...

[@FASBLAQUE]

Is gay audacity a pushback from internalized homophobia?

[@QueerCollective]

For me, it sure is! It feels like a liberation

[@FASBLAQUE]

@@QueerCollective Thanks. No better way to try and understand something than to ask questions.

[@QueerCollective]

Thanks for asking!

[@Magnocalabro]

You don't "identify" as LGB. L, G and B are sexual orientations, not a "preference" or an "identity". Just the TQ's are about identity.

[@jenskruse1475]

Big Challange, what will happen, if/when Trump becomes president. I am scared on behalf on the whole world.

[@Magnocalabro]

Nothing will happen, at least for gay people. Maybe he'll give a hard time to the TQ+, but definitely not the LGB.
