When I thought myself gay — it was an identity that had everything to do with the gender of whom I was sexually attracted to. How could I know how the gender of people I like relates to mine?

My relationship with gayness was defined by what I thought I knew myself to like. But I no longer know how I know what I like. What is sex without intimacy?

None of those things are defined enough for me to identify in any way other than in a way that allows them to be undefined. Exploring my queerness, those are questions I ask myself every day. And maybe there is no one answer to any of them.

Maybe they change from year to year or day to day and person to person.

And for some people, they are defined enough to be both gay and queer in a given moment. Maybe that will change for those same people like it did for me.

But Laura, who is the same age as Alike, was forced to drop out of high school when her mother kicked her out, and works overtime to help her sister who she lives with pay the bills while studying for her GED.
