Queer Memory “married the most amazing woman and learned how to be happy“

Queer Memory “I told you I loved you”

Queer Memory “came out to my favorite teachers here, they were wonderfully supportive”

“Where at first, thought i met someone who is funny and interesting, but realised it was a person i would care a lot more than anything.”

“Came out to my aunt here after she accompanied me to the pride parade (thinking the entire time we were there that | was straight). It was my first time coming out to extended family.”

“First time we saw each other in a long time. We held hands. Finally I fell on the ice, and got a concussion.”

“One day, when your depression lightened, you invited me to listen to you play violin on the mountain. It was so hard for you to express love through your depression, but I felt it powerfully that day”

“I came out to the 70 people on my private instagram story on bi visibility day (is it bi awareness day? idk)- some reactions were yuck, but most were great and that really helped me clean up some of my relationships.”

“First same gender kiss that brought on giddy/butterfly feelings, followed by a plummeting feeling of fear as I realized I was bisexual”

“Met my gay family here :)

“This is where we snuck into park to crush a couple tallboys and hold each other close.” #queeringthemap🌈

“Where I first kissed my gf - worst kiss ever cause I was young gay and afraid. But three years later and we're still dating so I guess it wasn't as life-ruining as I thought.” #queeringthemap🌈

“we went on our first date here without even knowing it was a date. we went back a few months after and this time we had already said i love you to each other” #queeringthemap

“You told me you were so into me and I believed you.”

“Now the best of all my Tuesday nights! Thanks Tom and all the gang for those lovely hangouts at the sauna, being naked and chating in the steam. Long live Colonial!”

“I met my queer partner in Highschool and I've transitioned since then. Trans stuff is very hard here in rural NZ. l am lucky to have Him and all of my support network.”

“I was walking down this road with my best friend when we both let each other know we were bisexual, and I will always love her for being the first person I spoke it out loud to - however casual it all was.”

“I'm gay in Masterton. Come find me.”
