A Maid's Braid

Mistress, I cannot let you go off to war alone. Not least are you forbidden from doing so, but if you were to disguise yourself as a man who would keep your secret? Who would help you on the battle field?

Please allow me to accompany you on this most dangerous of missions. Please! There is nothing I desire more than to remain at your side.

Oh, Mistress, I would love to tell you why, but I cannot. Please do not insist upon it. I would never lie to you, not ever, but I cannot help but feel afraid at what the truth might mean. Please do not ask me to bare my soul to you.

No One Way To Be Queer

I don't know who you've been talking to, hon, but there is no one way to find and live your truth. There's your way, my way, his way, their way, her way, all sorts of ways.

Anybody who tells you otherwise is probably selling you something, okay?

There is no one way to be queer.

Every Little Thing Is Going To Be Alright

My dear, I'm so happy for you and so proud of you. I know you might be feeling worried, but this is to be the happiest day of your life. Isn't that what they say?

Oh, come now, I'm your mother. You can tell me anything and you'll never be too old for a sit down and a cuddle.

I know its frightening, but think about the pair of you feel for each other. This day is just a ceremony for the rest of us, but you two know how you feel already. And that's what counts.

Okay. Fine. You've got me here. But... BUT! I'm not promising that we're leaving here with an animal, okay? No way, no chance. After all, if we share the house, we need to share the love of the pet, right? Otherwise it isn't fair to the poor critter. A goldfish maybe? Oh, come on... what did you have in mind?

It's over! It's horrible! It's terrible! It's the end of the world! Your family and friends have discovered your secret, online persona and want to have a conversation.

Hmm. Okay... but maybe... maybe it isn't as bad as all that. Maybe their intentions are kind and genuine? And... if not... well... maybe these gentle words will be of help to you.
