We Are Imperfect, Impermanent, and Incomplete—And That Is Beautiful. Every. Single. Letter. Is power. From drag queens defiant at Stonewall to chosen family today, queer lives are golden in our cracks. I’ve learned to honor my scars, and in the LGBTQIA+ movement, found beauty in every imperfection. We keep showing up, and that’s the true story of pride. #QueerResilience #LGBTQIA #Pride #WabiSabi #QueerJoy #QueerHistory
You nailed it with the Wabi-Sabi. Kinda. I didn't run into the word "lesbian" in your piece. Using the word queer to reflect all of us under the big Rainbow Umbrella works fine in many ways, but often it does not. Leaving out the "L" word disappears lesbians incrementally. The mention of Audre Lorde was great, but I believe she was the lone lesbian in the list of individuals you offered up. Thank you for listening.
Hi Kay, I do use “queer” a lot for its inclusivity, but you’re right—naming “lesbian” matters. I’ll be mindful of calling out lesbians specifically, so no voices get lost or overlooked in the future. Genuinely appreciate your feedback.

Love this thanks for sharing
Thanks Vince!
Kintsugi - have loved this idea - this way of being - since I first learned of it. As a metaphor for life - yes!
