Juliet made me feel seen as a baby gay. I always knew I was attracted to women and men, but it wasn’t until my fiancé and I got together that I was confident even to live and just be myself. I find myself still being concerned that I don’t say the right things or know everything I should as a black queer woman. I’m still learning and loving on myself as I go. Juliet had to go through some things to really find her understanding and find people to really love on her for who she is, and learned some cool historical facts along the way.
Graphic: Homophobia and Lesbophobia
Moderate: Cultural appropriation and Gaslighting
