Love Queer Youth; You’ll Save a Life

A Poem for Acceptance

I wrote a lot of poems about being LGBTQ+ and the LGBTQ+ people I love(d) in UNGODLY. I came out early and had many privileges in my journey. I realized I was LGBTQ+ when I was 15 after going to a writing camp and I came out within the year. While my dad and stepmom were accepting, along with my church family, I didn’t get the same reaction from my mom.
