“Growing up queer for me had its ups and downs. I felt very different from other kids my age. I didn’t share any of the same interests as other boys my age. I preferred dance over sports, I preferred reading about Greek mythology over comic books. ‘Death Becomes Her’ was my favorite movie from age 7 on, so when I realized I was gay I felt even more alienated. At school, I would get picked on by a lot of the other kids. Through elementary school I was picked on for not being good at ‘boy stuff.’ In Middle School, I really embraced my feminine androgynous side in my fashion sense and self expression, and in High School I refused to hide who I was. I was slammed into lockers, called ‘faggot’, threatened, and ridiculed almost every time I spoke in class. But I had one thing that can really make a difference in a queer kid’s life: A supportive family.” – Jinkx Monsoon
