I wish my existence could just be me existing.

Instead, I have to advocate for my existence in front of people who look down on me and have to rely on the understanding and kindness of strangers and the zeitgeist to make me be safe.

I'm barely allowed to marry who I love, and many people still reject "marriage" as a concept for people like me. I was once chased by someone with a knife for holding a loved one's hand.

People fought tooth and nail for us to be recognized. Many are still forced to do so. Sure, take the fucking rainbow. Take it for granted, just like you do with everything else.
