I didn’t expect to go viral over my engagement, & mostly everyone has been lovely! But one thing about me: if you’re going to be homophobic about my engagement & love for my fiancée, I’m going to block you immediately! I don’t entertain that shit for one second :)

twitter has its pros & cons, but the night of my engagement I was crying about how lonely it was to not share my joy with my family, & now I’ve got a million twitter aunts sending their congratulations so that’s pretty neat

@randykopp42 My mom hung up on me back when I came out to her. I didn’t exactly expect her to want a phone call. She lives in a different state. The internet gives very little context about people’s situations, so I would suggest keeping your judgments to yourself.

@TWAMTMAW Hi! Queer isn’t a slur when it’s used respectfully (different than calling someone “a queer”). I’m also not a lesbian, I’m bi. Queer is an umbrella term that many in our community use.

@CarissasNewLife This is spot on! Fundamentalism told me queer happiness was a pretense. When I came out, my dad tried to dissuade me, saying every gay person he’s known led a deeply miserable life, & I was terrified he’d be right. I’ve never been happier. It was wild to see they were wrong.

I know I’ve tweeted about this several times; I don’t care. This upbringing taught me that men are predators by nature & they can’t help it. It ruined my perception of men. Even though I don’t buy into modesty culture anymore, my brain is programmed to think about my body 24/7.

C-NU has always had its problems. Every school does. But as new leadership rids the school of respected, loved people, especially while choosing to overlook obvious sexual offenders, everything just stings that much more. Carson-Newman is cleaning house to fit a personal agenda.
