Wulver: a werewolf in Shetland, that is said to have had the body of a man with a wolf’s head. It was reported to have left fish on the windowsills of poor families.
That is the nicest Werewolf legend I’ve ever heard of.

True LGBTQ allies don’t question publicly how a person identifies.
I wasn’t always out at work. My girl put an engagement ring on my finger two years into our relationship, and I let the guys at work assume my “boyfriend” proposed. We were together six years before I found the courage to come out at my job. Maybe people speculated, but I went along with their hetero assumptions because I worried I would lose my job. I felt sick every time someone brought up relationships. It was awful. I didn’t feel safe, and at the same time, I felt so much shame hiding my girl, hiding my truth.
Still, I would have been devastated if someone had outed me at work, or speculated about my sexuality with others.
We’ve been together 21+ years now, and though I believe that acceptance of equal marriage and LGBTQ rights is directly tied to our visibility, I would never, ever ask someone who choses to remain closeted to come out. I would not discuss or speculate about their orientation publicly. I would respect their choices, even if it meant accepting their attempts to fit in to hetero norms. How could I ever possibly know the specific challenges they face?
Now that I’m out in every aspect of life, I’ve been questioned and challenged by straight people many times. A close friend and colleague actually said to me, “I don’t think you’re really a lesbian.” (I’m more of a four on the Kinsey scale, but he doesn’t even know what that is, so “lesbian” is fine.) I’ve had people ask me if I’m sure of my sexuality, because I “don’t seem gay.” Most people assume my son’s father and I are divorced and my wife is our son’s stepmother. (Nope.)
So, when people speculate in public forums–offline and online–about someone’s sexuality, it pisses me off. If I say I’m queer, I’m queer–until I tell you something different. If a person says they are straight, they’re straight–until they tell you differently.
True LGBTQ allies respect how a person identifies. Period.

“I know people who graduated college at 21, and didn’t get a salary job until they were 27. I know people who graduated at 25 and already had a salary job. I know people who have children and are single. I know people who are married and had to wait 8-10 years to be parents. I know people who are in a relationship and love someone else. I know people who love each other and aren’t together. There are people waiting to love and be loved. My point is, everything in life happens according to our time, our clock. You may look at your friends and some may seem to be ahead or behind you, but they’re not, they’re living according to the pace of their clock, so be patient. You’re not falling behind, it’s just not your time.”
