A False Alarm
I will not be completely moving away from Medium.com
For the last week or so, I have been saying that I plan to move completely from Medium.com to Substack. After much thinking (not as deep as soul searching 🤓), I have decided to continue to publish my writing here AND on Substack.
Substack provides me with the opportunity to reach a new, larger audience and to broaden the range of topics I write about.
Medium.com,however, allows me to continue to write on Medium.com, where I have published over 250 pieces in three years and earned close to 1,000 followers!
With both platforms, I can continue to reach the LGBTQIA+ community more easily, which is essentially the focus of my writing. I can continue to help (if my writing can do so), my fellow queers know that they have a history, that they are not alone in their experiences, and that we have a future!
It warms my heart to know that my writing informs younger readers about the history of our queer population and how things used to be. They need to know about the battles we queers have fought, won, and lost. They need to know that although we have come a long way, we still have a long way to go. Especially during the return of these dark times for gays, they need to hear that we need to speak out, speak up, and to keep dancing.
