it’s really affecting my ability to fully be out and live how i want to live in terms of my sexuality because i love my culture outside of the homophobia. my hometown in pr is my childhood and i have so many fond memories there. but it’s so small and everyone knows each other so i will definitely never be able to go back if everyone knew. idk if anyone has felt the same?

the book/graphic novel "juliet takes a breath" follows a lesbian puerto rican, if you'd be interested in seeing a story similar to your own. it follows her trying to balance being lesbian in her puerto rican family and puerto rican in lesbian spaces

They’re still your identities and they’re not inherently at odds with each other. It’s the brainwashing and colonisation that has fucked with people’s heads. You are valued and loved, even if maybe not by the ones you’d hoped for. You do not have to sacrifice either identity. Be wholly you how and when you can be. You live for you, not anybody else.
