something so nefarious about not being able to be yourself (being a lesbian) around your family (ESPECIALLY relatives in taiwan/china and family friends here/taiwan) because you’d be ostracized like crazy and potentially lose out on your cultural ties that you spent your whole life building and maintaining

#thinking about this a lot because yes my mom is actively praying the gay away but in the same breath asked if she could use my gay friend a #a beard for me so that she can stop ppl from trying to set me up on blind dates with men #we’ve got some contradictory behaviour here but i’ll take whatever i can get #ALSO! i get why she’s praying the gay away she just doesn’t want me to be ostracized and have ppl see me differently (negatively)#but at some point she’s gotta realize she can’t shield me from that + i’m already actively experiencing it with her saur here we are #also like it’s my life to live i accept the hardships that come with being true to myself #the feeling of freedom and living life with sincerity outweighs the negativity #but also at the same time … i wish i didn’t have to hide and pretend im someone im not just to be able to have connections to my culture #WELP!#i’ve got more thoughts on this and i wish i could be more eloquent and have a more nuanced take on it all but i also don’t have the words t #describe just exactly how it makes me feel and how i would go about combatting this #also like obviously ppl around my age and millennials cousins are not going to be homophobic and ostracize me but so much of community are #the relationships you have with your elders #//
