I'm A Woman, I'm Bisexual, & I'm A Minority

The release I needed that was found in a peaceful protest

I'm A Woman, I'm Bisexual, & I'm A Minority
Kami Der

If you read the previous article I wrote, We Can't Let Trump Win, it is no surprise that I was not satisfied with the outcome of the election. Following the results, I have become overwhelmed with thoughts.

Due to the lack of comprehensible thoughts I have to share with you all the week, I've decided to instead share a collection of photographs that I took last night at a Trump Protest in Austin, Texas. While the initial reason I went to this protest was to document it, the protest ended up being something even more. I'll be honest, since the election results have come out, I've felt less secure with expressing myself and being open about the beliefs I have. Being surrounded with people that do not agree with Trump or his beliefs put me in a safe place. I left the protest with a better attitude towards myself and a realization that I don't need to put myself in Trump supporters shoes because those are NOT my beliefs. I refuse to stand for those beliefs and I am allowed to be me. I've been looking for a release since the election results were announced and I think from this peaceful protest experience I was able to get that release I needed. Below are the photographs that I took last night - which I hope you all enjoy. I encourage you all to not let your voice go unheard, though please remember to spread love instead of hate. I leave you with this statement of mine: I am a woman. I am bisexual. I am a minority. I am me and I refuse to be quiet about the beliefs I have and of who I am.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
