Outside the Velvet Rope Like many queer people, I learned how to scan a room long before I learned how to drive—and shrink to fit. I thought joining a queer rugby team might change all that.

I grew up being bullied for being “too queer.”

Then I came out and realized I didn’t fit neatly into queer spaces either.

I wrote a personal essay about body image, exclusion & what it took to finally feel safe and accepted for #TheQueerLoveProject.
