Dating: What is dating like as a queer woman?

When I'm on my own, I'm a force of nature who is authentically herself, but when I'm with someone I am dating, I panic and can't be myself because I fear for them. I don't want people to attack or insult them just because they are involved with me! It's a weird and disturbing feeling. … Continue reading Dating: What is dating like as a queer woman?

Watching the World Cup as a queer Ethiopian 

I am a football fan who has always closely followed the World Cup. I am often glued to the TV, forgoing any social (and sometimes) work-related obligations to watch as many games as possible. I rate my teams from one to five and watch as each progresses or fails to progress to the next stage.… Continue reading Watching the World Cup as a queer Ethiopian
