>>>Art by: Kary_Draws (amino)
I know I have been posting a lot of FFXIV art of my character, but this was an older piece I never got to post, and now is the perfect time. Even if I have drifted from the fandom, I am still a Furry, Mia is still me, and I am here to show my Pride.
I will always remember growing up in the Midwest and thinking that I was /broken/ for loving other women. In high school, before coming out (and even for a time after), I struggled with my gender because I felt like my loving women meant that I should have been born male. I was kicked out of the house at 18 for kissing another girl, and there are so many other instances where I was mocked, shunned, and bullied for my sexuality. I remember having to pretend to be a girlfriend's 'roommate' because of "Don't Ask, don't tell". I remember having to find a way to immigrate to another country because DOMA prevented me me from getting benefits of an actual military spouse. I remember that for the longest time, I couldn't even get married in my home-state and had to go a state over if I wanted to marry another woman. And I remember sobbing when at last the Supreme Court ruled in favor of love, and I could finally settle down with a lover same as anyone else. What. A. Fucking. Feeling. It took me so long to love myself, to realize that I was fine just as I was. So, every year, I try and show my pride...
As a woman who loves as other women, as a human being that loves and deserves to be loved. So, happy pride everyone! Remember that you are valid, and you are wonderful!
