When she was 12 she experienced her first period. She was a Hindu girl studying in grade six. Her parents were well educated and she was grown up with no any difficulties. In her culture, there is a practice of keeping a girl in a dark room for almost 15 days during first menstrual period. The girl can’t see her father and brother. The belief exists that if the girl during her first menstrual period sees her father and brother, she is supposed to be cursed. And same was the case of her. She was not allowed to play with her loving brother, was not allowed to ask for chocolates from her dad.
Her mom told her that every woman goes through this stage on her life. She had no idea about what all is this about. She was curious. She thought of why only women had to experience this annoying shit in their life. But staying in a dark room for hours and hours, she was freaked. She was depressed. She cried a lot. She had pains all over her body. Headache, chest ache, lower abdominal pain used to act upon her together leaving her feeble and difficult in breathing.
On the other hand her school days were missing. She had taken part in a drama in an upcoming Parent’s Day event at school. She was so much excited for that. But she could not attend the rehearsals timely. Later, hearing the news that her character in drama is taken by another, she was broken.
She missed lots of opportunities during those period days. She was cheerless. She was gloomy. No one was there by her side.
Still, she hates being on periods. Every time, she undergoes this period days, body aches start to roll upon her. She can’t concentrate on her studies, on her works. Sometimes she hates herself for being a girl.
Thought I’d use this space for a bit of self-love. I did not receive the Fellowship (300 applicants, 5 positions), but I think the application adequately summarizes my devotion to LGBTQ activism and surveys my skills and experiences.

Essays:
I do not have a specific “lightbulb” experience to share, at least not one that I can distinctly remember. Something clicked for me in Jr. High school, when I started getting involved with extracurricular activities, that I should do more with my life than sit around reading sci-fi/fantasy novels, excelling in my classes, and playing video games. My involvement in extracurricular activities provided me access to a specific social network of fellow do-gooders and activists. This network inspired me to strive harder in my search for excellence, self-worth, and a chance to create a better world (to my eyes). Such inspiration took form in an active drive for networking opportunities, professional and social; a desire for a healthier, fitter body; a need for human connection/interaction and general activity; and a hunger for knowledge of and experience in the wider world, especially surrounding rights, values, and culture. Community service and LGBTQ work both strike close to home due to my family’s relatively impoverished status and my own identification as a gay, cisgender, polyamorous male.
I legitimately enjoy doing community service because I am an empathetic individual; I take pleasure in making other people happy. Further, in educating myself on the particular situations and needs of my community I am able to better judge my own standing and needs. This examination allows me to organize my life by what is necessary versus frivolities and excess.
Work within the LGBTQ spectrum came with my entrance into a college environment and the freedom of expression that environment entails. I finally felt comfortable enough to explore my own sexuality and gender identity and the movements surrounding my rights to openly embark on such introspection. Concurrently, I now understand that I should be able to expect a support network and easily accessible resources for this search.
College has offered me an outlet in which to pour all of my surplus energy, drive, and craziness. Now I am looking for additional opportunities in which I can realize my full potential while assisting in the proper recognition of and respect for all peoples.
Ironically, I think one of my greatest accomplishments/experiences working with a group was in researching, budgeting, fundraising, and coordinating the travel of nine College of Wooster students to Atlanta, Georgia for the 25th annual Creating Change Conference. It was a life-changing experience which I have difficulty putting into words. Creating Change affected each of us deeply in different ways, but it solidified my dedication to LGBTQ activism and opened up a great number of networking and programming opportunities for our organization (Spectrum; the College of Wooster’s only LGBTQA organization). Since the conference, the nine students have met and planned six distinct events based on the following topics: the Transgender umbrella; Nontraditional relationships (Asexuality; Aromanticism; Nonmonogamy); Comprehensive Sex Education; LGBTQ Youth and Education; Nonmonosexual Identities (Bisexuality; Pansexuality; Fluid); and Racial Justice.
We have also added the Washington Institute and Robyn Ochs to our budget for next year based off their performances at CCC, and have recorded dozens of possible future speakers, conferences, programs, and events. We have used the framework of CCC to push for an altered discussion format for our meetings; the integration of preexisting Policy Committee initiatives with CCC data; and a new social experiment involving gender-neutral bathrooms. The fact that all of the students who attended CCC have stated that they would go back and that funding for six students to travel to Houston for CCC 2014 has been budgeted for next year validates the success of the program.
While I have coordinated the above efforts, each of my peers has contributed to the trip and the subsequent programs in a distinct manner. Each has offered to present materials on one of the aforementioned topics (which is part of a much larger list) and when we turn to brainstorming for next semester the ideas and energy just fly across the room. Having been forced to drag meetings and initiatives along almost by myself in the past, it is a most wonderful feeling to look at a group of friends and peers and see them inspired to “take action and create change.”
I want to take part in this fellowship because it is exactly what I want to DO with my life. I am an Anthropology major and an LGBTQ activist; these are two of the most important facets of my life at this moment. The opportunity to take the materials I have gained from all these classes, lectures, and workshops and apply them in the real world would mean the world for me on a personal, academic and financial level. Building connections between disparate groups and individuals; researching current policies and strategies to make them more inclusive; traveling, learning, and experiencing segments of populations and areas of the world I have never seen before is something I have been doing at the college level, but I feel it is only a microcosm of what the “real world” has to offer. I am idealist, I recognize that. The majority of my activist/advocacy experience has to do with sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, and race/ethnicity from a secular point of view; this is fact. Yet, I am more than willing to expand my horizons; to find a proper medium through which to structure my passions.
I can contribute my time, my energy, my determination, my passion, and a wealth of past experience with leadership and community organizing. Specifically: public speaking; organizing a diverse array of events (i.e., dances, lectures, panels, interactive activities, fundraisers, media campaigns, etc.); interacting with a multiplicity of individuals that range the spectrums of race, ethnicity, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, and religious identity; and leading several different types of groups/clubs/organizations in varying capacity for a time span of 1-4 years.
On a side note: I am also a great cook; I give excellent back rubs, I love hiking, video games, and muscly twinks; I can talk for hours on a subject I am passionate about; I always try to take in all sides of an argument before coming to a decision; I can switch from professional to social in a flash; and I am extremely flexible with scheduling (sleep is optional).”
Below is an excerpt of an essay I wrote for a Campus Council Leadership Award for the College of Wooster, This section speaks specifically to my reflections and immediate actions following my time at Creating Change 2013. Held in Atlanta, GA, this conference is notably the largest LGBTQ conference in the world. The conference changed my life. I attended numerous workshops; met my boyfriend at the Opening Cruise (at the Pop Culture table; we bonded over Doctor Who); listened to a number of excellent speakers; and danced my booty off at the various evening dance events. Next year’s CCC is in Houston. If you can attend…DO IT!
Excerpt:
“My greatest accomplishment, however, was in researching, budgeting, fundraising, and coordinating the travel of nine College of Wooster students to Atlanta, Georgia for the 25th annual Creating Change Conference (CCC). This conference, hosted by the National Gay and Lesbian Taskforce, is the largest LGBTQ conference in the world. It was a life-changing experience which I have difficulty putting into words. Creating Change affected each of us deeply in different ways, but it solidified my dedication to LGBTQ activism and opened up a great number of networking and programming opportunities for our organization.

I also used the framework of CCC to push for an altered discussion format for our meetings; the integration of preexisting Policy Committee initiatives with CCC data; and a new social experiment involving gender-neutral bathrooms. The fact that all of the students who attended CCC have stated that they would go back (barring funding) and that funding for six students to travel to Houston for CCC 2014 has been budgeted for next year validates, I believe, the success of the program.”
So before the Day of Silence this year (4/19/2013) I put up a post regarding my support of Nicki Antonio’s Day of Silence Resolution. A few weeks later I did a response paper regarding my experience during this year’s DoS for my “Gender and World Cultures” class.
My paper is below:
The Day of Silence, a day of respect, remembrance, and introspection, has been near and dear to my heart for several years now. I think it is a most excellent example of such concepts as power, agency, resistance, and accommodation. Below is a letter I wrote in response to Ohio Representative Nickie Antonio’s Day of Silence Resolution. This Resolution would recognize the Day of Silence as existent at the State level. My letter will be followed by a brief recounting of my experience participating in Day of Silence 2013 and how I find these experiences relevant to Gender in World Cultures.
My Letter: See previous blog post.
My Experience:
This year’s Day of Silence event was, most likely, my final opportunity to participate while at the College of Wooster. I fear that in the years to come I will be unable to take part due to work commitments; or that my participation will be somewhat devalued by my restricted access to a larger community (in which to be a void). So I made the best of it, and was silent from daybreak until approximately 5:30PM. I broke the silence theatrically with a poetry reading of an excerpt of Allen Ginsberg’s Howl. Throughout the day, I was confronted once more with the difficulty of nonverbal communication. The United States is one of the ONLY countries in the world where one language is exulted to the exclusion of all others; and English is not a very somatic language with which to work. I understand this difficulty to be a metaphor for the structural and literal silencing of subaltern classes of people.
The Day of Silence is targeted for LGBTQ Youth, but can be applied to anyone who does not fit within the particular power dynamics of a specific location. In much of the US, this paradigm is made up of upper- and middle- white, heterosexual (biological) males. While I only fit within the biological male portion of this profile (my family scrapes by but we are under the middle class mark) I can “pass” if I so desire. The Day of Silence reminds me of the reasons why I do NOT desire to “pass.” In so doing I would be denying my identity; in accessing preexisting “agency” I would be negating my own “power” and accountability. During the day I would find myself, frustrated by another’s inability to understand my impassioned attempts at communication, needing them to understand. I needed “them” to see me as a real person, to feel my essence, my character, my values, my funny little quirks and KNOW that I EXIST.
The Day of Silence reminds me to keep in check my own privilege and resist attempts by “the man” (not to blame all men for all problems; this is a conscious usage of an outmoded and inaccurate euphemism) to silence, to make false, ANY person, for ANY reason. Some might see the Day of Silence as a means of “accommodation,” as a silent, ineffective action that detracts from the social justice movement. For the reasons listed in the above letter and more, I cry out that this is false. The Day of Silence is necessary, especially for those of us born with at least some privilege in the current system, as an introspective effort. Social justice movements, LGBTQ or otherwise, need to understand WHY they are fighting and how they can be effective. Concurrently, supporters and “allies” need to understand the consequences of the loss of their friends and loved ones who are being silent. We must remember, however, that we are silent for ONE day, and then that silence is broken so that justice can, eventually, be met.

Created by me for this day specially.
The song use in the background is one which is sending a strong message of hatred for Homosexuals in the country and the Pictures bring across this message too.
In honor of International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, Susan Rice–US Representative to the United Nations–released this statement and video expressing support for equal rights for all individuals and communities, particularly LGBT youth.
Today, as we commemorate International Day Against Homophobia, we rededicate ourselves to a basic but essential truth – that human rights are universal and must be protected for all. Homophobia, sadly, is present in every corner of our world. And, it is a problem we continue to face here in the United States.
At the United Nations, the United States is standing up for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals and fighting to ensure that their voices are heard and protected. The United States was proud to co-sponsor and adopt an historic resolution at the UN Human Rights Council condemning human rights abuses and violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
We will continue to work in every possible arena to protect communities and promote societies in which everyone – especially LGBT youth – can live safely and without fear regardless of who they are or whom they love. We call on all nations and all peoples to join us in ensuring that human rights are universally protected everywhere every day.
