Undergraduate / Being an outcast in my community. What do I value about Columbia? [2]
Being the only bisexual on my campus the tension between my peers has always been awkward, while they try to keep their composure it clear to see they're still unaccustomed to bisexuality. The tension between my peers and I has always been awkward. Males hold discontempt for my flamboyance and females dislike my masculinity. Without anyone to relate to and a community that only sees black and white feeling accepted is all I've aspired too.
I want to join a community that works to end these indiscretions, a community that is more inclusive, a community like Columbia. It has been my aspiration to become a pioneer in Columbias Queer Alliance and indulge in a world of innovation. I look forward to joining peers in the GS Alliance and supporting LGBT+ members and becoming whatever we need for each other and joining the Proud Colors movement as we empower queer and trans students of color.
Being an outcast in my community I have yet to understand what it means to be apart of a community that invites all forms of diversity. Columbia's prowess to encompass a diverse community and include various identities in its society has worked like a siren making me succumb to its enchanting influence. I'm filled with hope that I can become one a pioneer at Columbia and join countless others as we move toward what we value most, equality and inclusion.
