"Rainbow Identity" U People Story (11.07.3)

U People Stories are stories from regular everyday people, gay, straight, black, white and with varied beliefs who have had been made to feel like the "other". These are the kinds of stories that we all have carried with us; where it would make you cry if you thought about it but makes you laugh when you talk about it.
What the U People Story Archive does is build a bridge of understanding that unifies our struggles while at the same time lifting an emotional weight off the shoulders of the storyteller. These stories are humorous, moving and timeless. They are individually a testament of how discrimination and the emotions that result connect, effect and can change us all.

I'm glad that Native people can relate.

We may all be different, but the oppression we all experience as "the other" in a white supremacist neo-colonial socity is very similar. It all stings the same!

I'm Navajo and I've had a lot of U People experiences too!
