Umculi uHalsey ufumene ibhaso loMculi oBalaseleyo woMculo e IGLAAD . Wayengakwazi ukuya kwaye wathumela ividiyo apho wayethetha ngamava akhe evulekile malunga nokulala kwakhe:
Ndingumfazi omncinci, oyintombi, kwaye ndichithe ixesha elininzi ebomini bam ndizama ukuziqinisekisa-kubahlobo bam, kusapho lwam, kum - ndizama ukubonisa ukuba umntu endimthandayo kunye nendlela endiziva ngayo ayisiyiyo isigaba; ayiyonxalenye yesiphithiphithi eza kuthi itshintshe okanye inokusetyenziswa.
UHalsey ngumntu ohlukanisayo kwabanye, igama elithi 'ongezelelweyo' liye lajikwa kwi-intanethi, kodwa ndiyayonwabela umculo wakhe kakhulu kwaye unemincili malunga nokuzama ukutshintsha ubume bokuba abafazi abathandanayo bayabukeka njani. Ewe ewe, ndiyaqonda ukuba ujonge ecaleni nabani na onokuthandana no-G-Eazy, ojongeka njenge-alt-universal uJared Leto Joker. Konke oku kuthathelwa ingqalelo, inqaku likaHalsey lisemthethweni. Ukuziphatha ngokwesini kusaphathwa njengobuxoki.
Ndisoloko ndihlala ndisazi ukuba ndithandana nabantu besini esahlukileyo, kodwa khange ndenze nto ngezo mvakalelo de kwaba yiminyaka yam esekholeji. Xa ndaya kwisikolo sam samabanga aphakamileyo samantombazana onke, bekukho ukuzama okuninzi kwaye ngelixa bekukho amantombazana endinomdla kuwo, bendingafuni ishishini lam kulo lonke isikolo esincinci ke bendizixelela nje ukuba ndicinga ukuba amantombazana mahle , kodwa ndiyawathanda amadoda xa ndijonga ipowusta ka-Emma Watson eludongeni lwam.
Kwikholeji, ndandixhomekeka kunye nabasetyhini abathandanayo kwaye ke wonke umntu wayecinga ukuba ndiyintombazana kwaye kwakukho ukuchasana kwam kwinqanaba lokuzivumela ukuba ndiyamkele ngokupheleleyo loo nxalenye yam. Ngokwengxenye, kuba wonke umntu wayezama ukundibhala, kodwa nangenxa yokuba ndingafuni ukuba sisitabane. Ndandisele ndimnyama. Ndandisele ndingumfazi. Bendingadingi lonto . Emva koko ndathandana nomntu obhinqileyo kwaye kufanelekile ukuba ndiphume ndiye kumama wam kunye namanye amalungu osapho lwam kwaye ndiye ndaphila ubomi bam ukusukela ndineminyaka engama-20 (iminyaka emithandathu) ndingowasetyhini olala nabantu ababini.
Xa ndandithandana nendoda, kamva, kwafuneka ndiyenze icace gca ukuba kuba bendikunye naye oko akuthethi ukuba andinamdla kubantu basetyhini. Bobabini kuye nakwabanye.
Ndikhumbula kanye, xa ndandimi naye kwiqonga likaloliwe, kweza umfazi kuthi wathi wayeqhelene nezithandani ezinjengathi (wayemhlophe) kodwa wafunda: Uthando luthando, andilunganga ngezinto ezingesini, kodwa oku kuhle.
Ewe, ndiyisitabane! Ndakhwaza entlokweni yam, xa ndandijika ndingenagama ndahamba. Ndabona ukuba ngalo mzuzu inxenye yesizathu sokuba abantu abathandanayo besini esinye, ngakumbi abantu basetyhini, baziva isidingo sokungxola ngelebheli yabo, kungenxa yokuba ukuba asenzi njalo kwaye sikubudlelwane bobufanasini, abantu baya kuyenza loo nto. Baza kwabelana ngo-homophobia kunye ne-bullshit nathi becinga ukuba siqondile.
Amaxesha amaninzi ndiza kudibana nabantu okanye ndive kubahlobo ukuba bangathanda njani ukuthandana nabanye abantu basetyhini, kodwa abanye abantu abathandanayo abathandanayo abafuni ukuthandana nabo kuba bathandana nabantu besini esinye. Xa intombi yam kunye nam sahlukana, into yokuqala awayithethayo kum kukuba ndandiyinyani kubafazi kuba andinakufumana ndoda. Ungaze ucinge ukuba bendiphumile phambi kwakhe, kodwa umbono wokuba ndiza kugqiba nendoda emva kwakhe kubonakala ngathi kukungcatsha, kwanaxa wayelala nabantu abathandanayo.
Njengowesifazane olala nomntu ongatshatanga naye, ukuba bendithandana nendoda ethe tye ye-cis, zikhona iindawo endingenakuhamba nazo, kuba ndiyakholelwa ekuhlonipheni ukuba zithini na ezo ndawo. Kwaye andibeki tyala kuma-lesbians okanye abanye abantu abathandanayo ngokuziva ngathi kukho uhlobo lwenyhweba yokungasoloko ubonwa njenge-gay.
Nangona kunjalo, abantu abathandanayo abatshatileyo baseseyinxalenye yolu luntu. Sisajongene nengcinezelo, sisajongana nokungabi namakhaya, ukuxhatshazwa, kunye nokudlwengulwa. Sifuna ukuba lapha, sifuna ukuxhasa intshukumo, kodwa kananjalo asifuni kuphathwa ngathi sididekile, okanye ngokungathi asikho nzulu kubudlelwane bezothando nabantu abathandana nabo.
Asizami ukukhupha indawo ebonakalayo, sizama nje ukuba njalo.
