I absolutely agree. While a lot of the challenges of being a PoC and a queer person are similar in our culture, there are certainly these differences. I think of it as "visible" vs. "invisible." and each one comes with challenges. I think the coming out issue is the biggest difference. Even though there have been times when I was glad to be able to hide my queer identity, a lot of other times, I've wished it was written on my forehead or something because it would save me some really awkward/upsetting moments. I ... don't know what I'm trying to say here, other than ... word. Well said :-)
