What does it take to survive a world that fears your very light?
Brought the world beauty and wonder,
but our gift caused them fear.
Stood proud in glorious colours
while we denied the queer.
Bound in shackles for centuries,
we found ways to break free.
Not defined by society,
we fought rather than flee.
Murdered and thrown from high towers
to stop our kind of love.
Gagged and oppressed by the righteous
by orders from above.
—H, still standing on the ashes of their shame
When the brutal world fractured his soul, one man dared to step into the shadows, breaking chains with tenderness and healing a heart others feared. This is the story of being rescued by love—and reborn through it.
