Queer and All That Jazz (I Am...)
I am
A Domincan New yorker
That friend of a friend
That handsy person walking by with their talkative friend
I am
way outside that proverbial box
That music lover bumping Every type of melody from her speakers
That nerd sitting up front making friends with all the teachers
I am
wearing rainbows like it's in my job description
That queer dude always fighting the man
shunning gender stereotypes every second I can
I am
The Otaku that wont shut up about that last episode
The Disnerd that will never "let it go Let it go"; yes, no matter how much it hurts
The one in heated debates with movie, comic book, and political experts
I am
The product of school teasing and bullying
The sum of understanding of some family members and many Friends
The only difference between Me and Average is I'm unapologetic
