Overcoming Society's Pressures: The Triumphant Love Story of Mark and Alex
Mark and Alex had been in love for as long as they could remember. They had grown up together and had always known that they were meant to be together. However, they lived in a small town where being gay was not accepted, and they knew that they had to keep their love a secret.

Why Would Anybody Choose to Be Gay?
I was thinking about my LGBTQ brothers and sisters this morning. The things they endure and have to go through as part of the LGBTQ community. The nasty things that are said behind their backs. You hear it from conservative Christians and mean-spirited bigots far too often:

It had been years since Alex had changed their password. They had been too scared, too scared of what might happen if someone found out their secret. But as they sat in front of their computer, staring at the login screen, they knew that it was time to reset their password.

Caring for LGBTQ+ Adults: How to Make Your Care Agency a Safe Space
Home care agencies provide companionship and supervised care to adults in need of assistance to maintain their independent lifestyles. Today, many young adults cannot provide the in-home care their aging relatives may need due to geographical distance or the demands of their work or families. As a result, senior care agencies are often a welcome step that allows an older adult to stay in a familiar setting while receiving quality care. However, in recent years the healthcare disparities experienced by seniors who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) have come to light. Rectifying this problem is something that care agencies should provide solutions to, as our mission is to ensure that all clients are treated with dignity and respect.

Carry Pride in your Heart (Micro-nonfiction)
My First Pride I will always remember my first Pride event. I went to one at the approximate age of 11/12. My identity at the time was confined to the pressures placed upon it by others.

That was the start of my journey, my self-discovery.
