By Isaac Tye
Finding a place in queer mythology ONE OF THE MOST HURTFUL TYPES OF QUEERPHOBIA IS THE PREVAILING MAINSTREAM UNDERSTANDING THAT WE DON’T EXIST. QUEER PEOPLE AREN’T THE HEROES OF MYTH OR THE LEADERS OF RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS. THERE HAS BEEN A CENTURIES LONG SILENCING OF QUEER PEOPLE, EXCLUDING US FROM THE NARRATIVES AND THE HALLS OF CULTURAL ICONS. WE’RE TAUGHT THAT EVERYONE HAS BEEN LIVING HETERONORMATIVE LIVES AS LONG AS HISTORY HAS BEEN WRITTEN. IT’S A LIE.
