Short Stories: Riley And Ryleigh
🕑 Added 2023-08-22 22:35:34 +0000 UTCRi and Ry are around 20 years old here. When they first came out as queer, Ryleigh was rather preoccupied with presenting femme and pretty. There's certainly nothing wrong with that, but in their case it revolved around personal insecurities. It also took them a while to admit that they loved Riley. Ryleigh would eventually come out as nonbinary in middle age.
This comic is a touch autobiographical: there was a time long ago when dumbass baby gay Kae and her chucklefuck friends were amused by older women in the community who just wanted to live their best lives according to their own tastes. And we had no wise rhino compatriot to tell us we were being stupid.

Very powerful and a good life lesson, Kae.

"Hodie mihi, Cras Tibi..." My general position is to let the young be silly and stupid, but a gentle reminder about how life works now and then isn’t THAT bad either. A great and powerful piece once again Kae. <3

Is there anything sadder than the friend who tries to make you make fun of other people with them?

We can only hope and aspire to be as devil-may-care happy as a pair of lesbian grannies in love!

Twenty years ago or so, I was working in a store and a gay couple came in who looked like they were in their 50s. One of them was wearing a shirt that said "Have You Dropped the Soap Today?" My coworker tried to get me to make fun of them with her, but I just wished I was brave enough to tell them how awesome they were.
