THE COLOUR YELLOW APPEARS ALOT IN OUR BRANDING DESPITE MY HATRID FOR THE COLOUR. I FIND BRIGHT COLOURS HARD TO LOVE. I'M SO USED TO BEING A BLACK CLOUD IN THE SEA OF RAIBOW HAIRED, COLOURFUL QUEERS. MY QUEERNESS IS SO RARELY 'VISIBLE' BECAUSE I'M LUCKY NOW TO PASS AS MALE I GUESS, AND BECAUSE, FOR ME AT LEAST, MY PERSONAL LIFE AND LOVE AND GENDER IS NOT THERE TO BE PUT ON [Continues on rear of tag] DISPLAY OR BROADCAST TO THE WORLD. THE WORLD, AS I HAVE LEARNED CANNOT BE TRUSTED WITH SUCH VUNERABILITY. BUT I'M TRYING WITH MY CHARITY WORK I'M TRYING TO BE BOLDER, BRIGHTER AND MORE VISIBLE FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS WHO ARE IN THE BACKGROUND LIKE ME BUT NOT BY CHOICE. MOT/CTDOV/002.7
