This week’s essay is called, “I Swear I Love Him” and is written by drag queen, writer, standup, singer, and actor, Pissi Myles. We love this essay because it isn’t grandiose. It isn’t based in trauma. It is simply a wonderfully sweet love letter and celebration of queer joy. Something we really need right now.
