A long time ago someone asked me, “can you imagine what it’s like to not feel yourself at home in the world?” The answer of course, is that I could very well imagine that. The question was posed to me in the context of understanding what it is like growing up “abnormal.” That is, being beings that are labeled as abnormal, feeling feelings that are labeled as abnormal, thinking thoughts that are labeled as abnormal, or wanting wants that are labeled as abnormal. Whether we’re talking about marriage equality or emotional suffering, the issue is the same. In the end laws don’t protect people. Only people protect people. We have nothing but each other.
