I’m not entirely sure if this is the appropriate site for saying this, so if any of my fellow friends who answer these questions feel it isn’t please feel free to message me and I will take it down.Or if you like it, feel free to add on.
In light of recent events, I wanted to extend a hand to all of you. Many of our family in the gigantic family of … queerdom(for lack of using our huge acronym to include everyone) have recently died.
Many of them never got to see the beauty and wonder of life and living it with all the miracles it has to offer.
I don’t really know exactly how it feels to be tormented- not even daily because that doesn’t quite cover it- for my sexuality, because I never really got tormented all that much. Lost friends, heard some hateful things, but never to the extreme of many others. So I know my words may mean little.
But, if you or someone you know is at risk for suicide, remember (or remind them) that even in the dark, there is light. You may be beaten, you may be harrassed, abused, assaulted, tortured, but there is always that chance that things will get better.
And if you choose suicide as your out, you will never get that chance. Once you are gone, you don’t come back. If you do not choose to stay for your own self, stay for those who love and care about you- even if it is just a stranger like me.
The pain may be over for you, but it continues and lingers for everyone else, for your fellow queers who lost one more ally, one more voice against the many that seek to crush us. Every single one of you mean something, every single life counts.
So if you ever feel the need to commit suicide, please talk to us or call
1-800-273-TALK (8255) or 1-800-Suicide (784-2433).
Because once you are gone, you don’t get a second chance.
Much love,
Daisy
