6'When you’re reminded semi-regularly that being LGBTQ+ automatically puts you in danger, particularly with recent brutal attacks on our community, it’s necessary to focus on the good things – like the magic of Christmas.' I ✍️ Samuel Sims
Even in primary school, when you’d think kids would be a little less conditioned to notice people who were different, I was bullied.
As a kid, when I was off school for weeks for Christmas, I could swap homophobic slurs from my peers with tonnes of films – my absolute favourite thing to do.I’d dance around my bedroom manically, then either get up before my parents had even munched on Santa’s mince pie or leap onto their bed at some godforsaken hour in the morning, screeching like a Jurassic Park-attired banshee.
I’d somehow struggle downstairs in them – they were far too big – and just play by myself, quite content to live in a made-up world full of wonderful creatures. The music was too loud and our other neighbour complained but I loved every minute of it. It’s what Christmas should be about – the kind of glorious chaos that cements itself into your consciousness forever.LGBTQ+We start to feel different at a very young age because we perhaps don’t act or feel the way we’re told we should. ‘Why do you speak like a girl?’ or ‘She’s such a tomboy but she’ll grow out of it’, are some classic examples.
Spending the day with my mum involved a takeaway from the city’s best Indian restaurant, board games and copious amounts of alcohol.
