If you are an LGBT+ person and you come out, you have to go through your knights quest to create ground for yourself, to create a space for yourself, to stand there and say, I exist. I have no reason to feel guilt or shame. I am proud to exist, and while Im not perfect, I deserve to exist in society just like anyone else.This became my first big fight.While I consider myself to be fantastically boring, I realized that if I took on my own sexual identity and came out and just told people about it and tried to have a chat with themtried to be offhand and casual about itand tried to build our place in society and humanity, then that would be a good mission. This is where I exist in society. I am just this guy. I am transgender, and I exist. But that is just my sexuality. More important than that is that I perform comedy, I perform drama, I run marathons, and Im an activist in politics. These are the things I do. How you self-identify with your sexuality matters not one wit. What you do in lifewhat you do to add to the human existencethat is what matters. That is the beautiful thing.
