An Open Letter To My Dearest Ally
Safe Access
My Dear Ally,
There was a time when I was in the depths of depression. I had come out to my family and friends. I had always thought my family would embrace me with open arms and love, and accept me. But they took me to doctors for conversion therapy. I was suicidal.
At midnight, I messaged you. You were in a different country. Still, you held a safe space for me. You listened to me. You said that you and your spouse fully support homosexuality and you are planning to educate your kid about lgbtq community soon. You said you would accept your kid even if they turned out to be a part of the queer community. Who would say that?
You spoke to all of our colleagues about the lgbtq community, made sure I had a safe environment at work. There were many ups and downs that year. I turned to you for support. You were there for me. I see you as my sibling. I don’t know what would have happened to me if you weren’t there for me that year. I owe my life to you. I’m forever grateful.
Yours Queerly
Vignesh
