Aka MilesChronicals.
Aka my saving grace in this god forsaken world.
I started watching him when I 12. A small, scared 12 year old who didn't under stand LGBTQ+ or Feminism or racism or anything like that. I didn't know what any of it meant and I didn't know who j was. I was told that being gay was bad, but deep down I knew I liked girls somewhere. I knew that. But then I thought that I was disgusting and that every one would hate me. I didn't know what to do.
But then I found Miles. And I quickly learnt that I was okay. And that I wasn't alone. I learnt that everything I had been told was from straight white Christian males who said homosexuality was disgusting but also made "lesbian" one if the top most searched categories on PornHub. Miles introduced me to a world I had never had the guts to see before, and now I'm here i truly feel at home.
I learnt about so many sexualities because I felt brave enough to look them up and learn abiut them. A few months after coming to terms with it myself, I finally came out to my best friend at the time that I was pansexual. We hugged she told me it was Okay, and then she came out to me as gay. I felt truly happy for a long time because I then knew I wasn't alone.
A while later we met my current best friend who not long afterwards came out to us as bisexual. I watched her fall in love and it was beautiful. While falling out of it wasn't so pretty, the fact they got the chance to share a love that peiple wanted them dead for, made me so happy.
Four years after I started watching MilesChronicals and I am a better person. I know about LGBTQ+ and where I sit in it (bisexual and genderfluid my dudes, my sexuality changed and it pissed me off but hey ho), I have learnt about other minority communities and what they face and now I fight with them. Against racism against misogyny and all sorts of other things. I have opened my arms to people and made friends who otherwise I wouldn't have grown to understood and love.
Miles McKenna, you have made me a better person. You have given me the strength to be a better me. At the beginning of these four years I was a tiny 12 year old who thought homosexuality was disgusting and bad. Now, these four years later, I'm a slightly taller 16 year old who has kissed a shit tonne of boys and girls and everyone else in between, with a better group of friends, with a better understanding of life, who fights to make a difference and I am a lot happier.
Thank you for making me better. I am so proud of you. Xx
