Maybe It Wasn't An Accident

11/9

Today I'd like to apologize.
I'm so sorry.
The world is not in the right place, and I'm scared.
Tons of people are supporting racism, homophobia, violence...
And I'm scared.

I had woken up this morning, extremely anxious about the results as I had fallen asleep very early.
And when I looked on the news, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
People were crying, along with myself.

I have never woken up and felt so emotionally attacked that it caused me to fucking burst into fucking tears.

I would love to hug all the people in the LGBTQ+ community, all the muslims, all the immigrants, all the women, as today on this day, they have been told that they are not loved.

Today, on this day, they have been reminded that so many people hate them.
Today, on this day, I have been reminded that I am hated.
Before the news, I had never met a Trump supporter.
Before the news, I was so blind as to even think that the hate was fading away and America as it is, was getting better.

I was so fucking blind to think that we had a chance, and that love would defeat hate.
But I was so fucking wrong.

How could someone vote for a racist, a sexist, a pervert, and someone with no appeal in politics?
How would anyone possible promote rape?
Why.
Would.
Anyone.
Promote.
Hate?

Is this what America has come to?
People think that just because they were born into a white family, and they don't have anything to worry about other than sitting on their designer sofas, that they can just push everyone out and throw them under the bus?

An immigrant can be as smart as a white person.
A Muslim can be as smart as a white person.
A Hispanic can be as smart as a white person.
A woman can be a smart as a man.
A person who belongs in the LGBTQ+ community can be as smart as a straight person.

WE. ARE. EQUAL.

SO WHY ARE THEY TREATING PEOPLE LIKE ANIMALS?
WHY ARE WE BEING TREATED LIKE CRIMINALS?!

I'M FUCKING SCARED.

I'm crying as I'm writing this because I know people feel the same way.
Other people are scared and they shouldn't be.

People. Should. Not. Wake. Up. And. Be. Scared. Of. Their. President.

People are reacting way more violently to this election than any other.
People know.
They know damn well.

I wish I could spend a day with everyone who is scared right now and tell them that everything is okay.

But not right now.
Nothing is okay.
I'm scared.
First of all,
My parents weren't originally born here.
Second of all,
I'm a woman.
Third of all,
I am part of the LGBTQ+ community and I am scared.

I don't want to get jumped by Trump supporters.
I don't want to get stabbed by Trump supporters for being myself.

I want to be myself.

I'm scared to go out in big crowded areas.
My mom texted me saying that we have to lay low for a while.

My friends, who I already came out to, told me to keep quiet on my sexuality because they worry that I will get killed.

I never used to worry that I would get killed based on my sexuality or my status.

But now it's becoming an everyday process.

It's 2016, I thought it was okay to walk around and be gay.

But now it's a crime to people and I have to hide myself.

I'm sorry that it has come to this.
