 Oh, he's just creative, they said, with only slight pause. I mean, they were right. I loved to cook and to sing and to act and to play the piano. But I knew what they were really saying, you know. It's hard for some people to say that, though, so we used words like artistic or creative or unique to describe LGBTQ people. And at first, when I realized that, I thought it was just another crude stereotype. But the reality is, it's true. lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, black, brown, Latino, Asian, these are all examples of God's magnificent creativity. And so when you call me creative, I guess it's only fair, seeing as I'm created in the likeness of my creative creator.
