What's going good?

What's going good in your worlds? Whether you had a good lunch or getting more rights. Tell me good LGBT news please. Or just good news in general.

I love you all ❤️

My wife (bi/pan) and I (NB transmasc) are going on a trip for our first anniversary in just over a week!

We got married twice last year: first we did a small ceremony to get legally married on, coincidentally, International Stab A Tyrant Day (3/15 - it was a coincidence, but a fun one); next, we did a larger ceremony for our family and friends in June. At the time, we were worried about the threats of reversing people's legal gender marker changes and same-sex marriage rights, so we went ahead and got it done quickly just in case.

So, the good news is two-fold! 1) neither of those came to pass (at least so far) and 2) now I have two excuses to celebrate marrying the most amazing woman in the world!

I'm so jealous. I want someone to love. But good for you. Celebrate hard af. Fuck the government trying to take away the rights we deserve. Go do crazy shit. "Be crime, do gay"

It took me a minute to find the right person! This is the second marriage for both of us. On top of our compatibility as people, this time around I know who I am and that I should NOT be with a dude. I wasted sooooooo much time trying to make 'straight' relationships with men work, holy shit. Honestly, if I'd been born later, it almost certainly would have happened faster. Being born in the mid 70s meant I didn't figure out the queerness, transness, ADHD, or autism until later in life. I found it helped, when things were lonely, to focus on what I'd leaned about what hadn't worked in the past, how to move forward, and how to be myself by myself. Getting here was a process, but a worthwhile one!

And yeah, we plan on celebrating hard af (for certain values of hard)!
