I.
You think
representation does not matter
please listen for
five seconds.
II.
I knew I liked girls
when I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer
and I was thirteen years old.
III.
I knew I was male
when I read "I am J"
and I was
fifteen years old.
IV.
I knew I had more then
a hundred percent
when people asked me what I thought
about art of Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes,
and Sam Wilson.
V.
We deserve to be
seen
and if you think you are
protecting the children
you are so far from correct.
VI.
You are
keeping the children
stuffed into the closet.
