I began about two years or so ago to develop a series of books/novels principly to aid young LGBTQ people...with the coming out process.
I can tell you first hand that it is not easy even now. There is still a lot of mythology and misinformation about the LGBTQ life and its origins/place in society, and there is no small amount of hate against those who are perceived to be gay, especially in places like the Middle East, and a lot of Africa...although thank GOD that is changing and about time.
The brutality of hate has taken way too many young lives. So has self-hate and self-loathing, and it is ALL SO UNNECESSARY, since being LGBTQ is as natural to the human condition as is heterosexuality.
Being gay has existed from the beginning of time and in ALL cultures and ethnic groups. Male and female. It is normally somewhere between 10 and 20% of the total population. Some places higher or even MUCH higher.
My experience and observations have led me to know that young kids, teen and pre-teen, NEED to find the assurance that they ARE NOT FREAKS. THEY ARE NORMAL, and have NO need to apologize although in some places they do need to proceed with caution.
Organized religion has done a HORRIBLE DISSERVICE to so many ESPECIALLY the LGBTQ population as well as women, and on and on...whoever each religion deems to be 'DIFFERENT' or 'NOT LIKE US' or whatever. All religions are so and NO GOD IS, so we know where that comes from
HOMOPHOBIA is just that. A PHOBIA. Phobia's are fear-driven. But I am convinced that most homophobes are not afraid, just assholes. Manipulative ASSHOLES. INSECURE ASSHOLES. Afraid of what always begs the question...doth one protest too much, Honey?
But make no mistake. HOMOPHOBIA is rooted (or rotted) in both FEAR AND HATE, NEITHER of which are the qualities God likes. OH HELL NO.
Homophobes run the risk of ETERNAL HELL, since God hates only one thing. HATE.
Anyway, I am writing this series of books 'THE WORLD BEYOND" to help young (and others) to understand there is nothing wrong with them...and they need to 'come out' without fear and whoever doesn't like them for who they are can just go FUCK themselves.
I am in the process of working on 9 (so far) TWB novels. I hope to begin publishing early in 2019 or at least by mid-year.I may keep them at least in blog form as well as Kindle and the Nook as my other novels are
ENJOY and know there is a whole world out here...WAITING...for you to come explore.
Reading is one way to do that.
