I, Faggot – Alex Mecum, Ethan Chase
The vast majority of queer people have experienced rejection, to varying degrees, from families, culture, and religious institutions—if not outright antagonism, physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse. Even in the best of family circumstances, no one escapes the blade of negative self-perception that results from the rippling shocks of vicarious trauma that continue to echo within our alien bodies, molding us into creatures that perpetuate and re-enact our feelings of profound unworthiness.
To heal these wounds, we must crawl into them, accept our pain as well as our resistance to it, and contemplate our own role in the continuation of these formative fractures. I, Fagot explores the potential for integration within those who have those painful experiences by which they were molded.
