I'm very happy to have found your Substack. If you haven't yet, I recommend you reading the essay (which became a book) 'Whatever happened to Queer Happiness?' by Kevin Brazil. Hopefully it will give you some answers as it did me. https://granta.com/whatever-happened-to-queer-happiness/

That breaks my heart and i’ve heard from personal stories as well as seen in many forms of media how difficult it can be.
i cried reading this.
🥹 thanks for always taking the time to read and absorb the text
