Story time: A senator’s daughter attempted suicide. Recent accounts indicate she came out as bisexual. The senator didn’t fly home to be with her. The senator is known for his penchant for lying, his cowardice, and xeno/homo phobias.
We can assume that this teenager’s life has not been easy. Conflicted, scared, ignored. She lives in a home where Christianity rules. She was never exposed to drag queen story hour, drag shows, and certainly-her television viewing was monitored.
Perhaps she attended church on Sundays. Perhaps she believes in a higher power. She was groomed to be a good girl and daughter. The daughter of a senator.
At a certain age, she knew she was different. She liked boys and girls-in that weird sort of way. She didn’t understand it all and was afraid to discuss it with her family because she knew it would displease them.
she had heard her father spew hatred, foment violence, against people that he didn’t consider “normal.” She had no place to turn to. It became overwhelming to the point that she felt it best to harm herself.
The moral of the story? She wasn’t groomed, she wasn’t exposed to those “evil” drag queens. She was born this way. The way “god” made her, proving once again, it isn’t a choice.
