1 Answer

Answer :

Well I identify as queer and when I look over 10 of my closest friends, only one is straight and the others are iterations of the LGBTQ community. That’s because I do a lot of activist work and am on the committee for the transgroup of the Brooklyn Community Pride Center or many of my college friends were from the NYU LGBT office, etc. – the community in which I operate is queer and so my friends are thus.
