Bridging two identities: 'I'm a gay Hmong person ... I'm proud of that'

As a Hmong-American, Jayden Song knew at an early age coming out meant facing the challenges of two intersecting identities.

I told my mom when I was in my mid-20s and I ask her if she knew, but she said, "what are you talking about?" Then I told her that I'm gay. Her answer will forever something I won't forget. She didn't mind at all, and knew a few years back. My mom is the OG and didn't mind at all.

I assume this boy n this mental therapist had no father figures n their moms just allowed them to be whatever they wanted to be..there was no mentioning of a father in this story just their moms accepted them being gay..the fact of the matter is the chances of a child feeling this way is no father figure in their life..the dad didn't spend time with them or they grew up without a dad

Why is "coming out" even a thing! No community wants to know whether you're straight or gay. It's none of their business anyway. I'm not special just b/c I'm straight and neither are you for being gay.

Bridging two identities the agenda as outlined by JG
“Whoever can conquer the streets will one day conquer the state, for every form of power politics and any dictatorship-run state has its roots in the street.”
“Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident, they are acting on their own free will.”
“The secret of propaganda: Those who are to be persuaded by it should be completely immersed in the ideas of the propaganda, without ever noticing that they are be immersed in it.”
“The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, That in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape it.”
“We shall reach our goal, when we have the power to laugh as we destroy, as we smash whatever was sacred to us as tradition, as education, and as human affection.”
