“We’ve been keeping our deaths a secret so as to make our lives possible.”— Clarice Lispector, from An Apprenticeship, or The Book of Delights
there’s a sexist component to homophobia. It seems like a big part of homophobia in straight males is fear of being seen sexually by men. That is, fear of being treated by gay men the same way that straight men treat women. Because straight men have built a culture where men degrade people (women) by reducing them to sexual objects.
girls!!!!!!! every single one. gorgeous.
girls!!!!!!! every single one. powerful.
girls!!!!!!! every single one. important.
I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again —

but its okay, ill settle for watching you laugh at her jokes and smiling at me sometimes
You tried to change, didn’t you?
Closed your mouth more,
tried to be softer, prettier,
less volatile, less awake
You can’t make homes out of human beings.
Someone should have already told you that.
