Born this Way

Jasmine Price

Queerness is not a phase and those who identify being a part of that community love who they love and feel the way they feel. We as a community shouldn’t have to make any part of ourselves less than real for the sake of what may be considered ‘ideal’ in a general and vague way by society at large, because there is an ideal version of us that isn’t something we should have to hide or keep locked up inside. Born this Way expresses the concept that as a community we shouldn’t have to be ashamed of who we are. This work helps to unpack my own personal experience coming to terms with my sexuality, confronting my issues with religion and shedding light on the blessings of my own uniqueness.
