Q-Topia
I am Romeo Matías García-Davies. Some of you may know me from our time together at Hogwarts. Some may know me from my job cooking at Finnigan's. Some may not know me at all.

I am queer.

If I had to define my gender, I would call myself somewhere between gender fluid and gender neutral. I look like what society would categorize as "a boy", but I do not feel like one. Nor do I feel like a girl. I am floating somewhere comfortable in the middle, a metaphoric foot in the male camp because of my presentation, but the rest of my being gloriously free of the gender binary imposed upon us by society.

If I had to define my sexuality, I would call myself definitely pan...something. I don't see gender as a barrier to love or attraction. With that said I don't necessarily know if I am pansexual... perhaps I am simply panromantic and asexual.

So that is me.

I know there are other people out there who, like me, don't conform to the neat little boxes the world would like to put us in. Maybe you don't fit the gender binary. Maybe you aren't neatly heterosexual. I would like to start a group for all of us to gather, support each other, and talk about the particular issues we face. This is not your school-era Gay-Straight Alliance. This is a utopia. A Queer-topia, if you will. And it is coming soon, if there is enough interest.

(You can make your replies private to me if you are nervous/cautious/not out.)

	I see those scribbles - question? Concern? I'm Stacey, and yes, it's possible. Nice to (sort of?) meet you as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It does not matter, Miss Rivers. Forgive me my messiness. I have been hard at work planning ice breaking games for the first meeting... so far I have one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No worries about messes (I'm not always the best at being tidy myself, just ask Zacharias!) but no Miss Rivers, I'm Stacey. The only people who call me Miss Rivers are the stuffy business people I have to deal with on occasion. Ooh, what game? Because I'm sure I can help you find some more.

	My apologies ...Stacey. I was considering that we ought to play Person Bingo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you, Romeo. You've got a nickname for that, I'm sure - Shakespearean influence, I'm guessing? I don't know that one! But Two Truths And A Lie can be good for that whole 'getting to know you' sort of thing. And I'll see what else I can come up with for you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Some call me Ro-Ro, yes. And yes, my mother is a big fan of Romeo and Juliet. Had she been given a daughter, I'm sure she would have been named either Juliet or Rosaline, and the implications of having a sister with either of those names is just... it makes me shudder.

That said, if she had been given another son, she has often said she was debating Tybalt, or Benvolio, so I am often glad I have no hermanos because that is a cruelty even harder to bear than Romeo!

I myself am a fan of Shakespeare, but I am considerably more widely read than my mother. She stopped after Romeo and Juliet... I consider it far from my favorite of his works.

	That has a nice ring to it. I can understand your non-existent sisters' name issue somewhat, because no one's called me by my full name since I was two. Hermanos, huh? Se habla español? I haven't read that much Shakespeare, to be honest. Hamlet is my favorite, personally, though Much Ado About Nothing was hysterical. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

¡Sí! Nací en México. Nos mudamos a Inglaterra cuando tenía once años. Mi padre es el Inglés, pero mi madre y mi abuela son mexicanos.

Perdone, pero... ¿de dónde eres? Es tan raro encontrar un hablante español aquí en Inglaterra. Algunas personas hablan un poco de español, pero cuando empiezo a hablar rápido, ellos dicen "Whoa, más despacio por favor, yo sólo aprendí español en la escuela" o algo estúpido como eso.

Me gusta Hamlet mucho, pero en este momento, creo que mi obra favorito es Macbeth. ¿Has leído Titus Andronicus?

~~Eres... tan hermosa.~~

	¡Sin problema! Nací en Inglaterra, pero mi madre y su familia son Puerto Rican. He hablado español toda mi vida, y hay nadie aquí que hablan. Macbeth es... interesante. Y no he leído el otro. ¿Qué es la historia de? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uh, bueno, la gente se apuñalaron y al horno en un pastel, básicamente. Simplemente me llamó la atención cómo ... chocante que era. Stacey. Eres ... ¿Es muy grosero de mi parte si te digo que eres hermosa? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinkyink 2014-10-03 01:55 am UTC (link)
	Chocante es correcto. Eso es más bien horrible, en realidad. ¡No, no grosero en todo, lo dulce de usted! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rgarciadavies 2014-10-03 02:02 am UTC (link)
	Oh, me alegro. Porque creo que usted es la persona más hermosa que he visto en mi vida ... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	¡Bueno, ven a verme un día! Tinta de Pinky en Monument Callejón, es la tienda de tatuajes y muy difícil de perder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rgarciadavies 2014-10-03 02:46 am UTC (link)
	Tú das tatuajes para ganarse la vida? Yo no tengo ninguna. Siempre he querido uno. ~~No es bueno mentir, Romeo, serás mejor esperanza Mamá no se descubrirlo.~~ Tal vez usted podría hacer uno para mí? Me gustaría tener un tatuaje de un árbol de la familia, tal vez. Mi familia no es muy grande por lo que el árbol no tendría que ser muy grande. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinkyink 2014-10-03 03:00 am UTC (link)
	¡Sí! Es el mejor trabajo en todo el mundo. Tengo nueve tatuajes en este momento, pero más vendrán pronto. ¡Por supuesto! ¿A dónde lo quieres? ¿Y cuántas personas van a ser incluidos? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rgarciadavies 2014-10-03 04:06 am UTC (link)
	Nueve? ~~Ay Díos Mio eres tan increíble...~~ Hay cuatro personas en mi familia incluyéndome a mí. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinkyink 2014-10-03 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	Sí, nueve. Necisto màs. Beuno. Grande o pequeño? Voy a dibujarte algo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rgarciadavies 2014-10-03 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	Creo que lo quiero en la parte posterior de mi hombro, así que no me quiero que sea demasiado grande. Lo suficientemente grande para ser leído, pero lo suficientemente pequeño que es sólo en mi omóplato? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pinkyink 2014-10-04 03:19 am UTC (link)
	Perfecto. (Reply to this) (Parent)
