The hardest thing...

I work with LGBTQIA college students. In light of the national politics and in the midst of an era of intense identity politics, I am finding it more and more difficult to inspire strength while also fostering (what has been for many of them) a radical queerness that can only be reckoned by absolute equity.I lately wondered if there might be a way to help them to visualize their experience as queer students through the stories of others! That's where you all come in!I wonder if people would be willing to write a story about a time that they went through something really scary, or challenging, and what they did to overcome it. This could be a variety of situations from family, friends, exes, spouses, work, internal struggle, etc. In short, what has been "the hardest thing..." that you have experienced and what was that journey like. Please include your age and gender (if you feel so comfortable).Thanks in advance! Soc
