Love always wins.

Today is about visibility. About resistance. About love that refuses to be erased.

The International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia exists because we’re still fighting. Against laws that dehumanize. Against churches that exile. Against parents who say “not under my roof.” Against systems that still treat queerness like a liability or a sin instead of a gift.

But today is also about joy. Tenderness. Our art, our sex, our holy mess of humanity.

I write queer romance because it’s still revolutionary. Because queer love stories still get banned. Still get burned. Still get slapped with content warnings while straight trauma gets called literary.

Because even now, in 2025, people are still afraid of what we are. Still trying to edit us down to something easier to swallow. Still writing queer characters as sidekicks or tragedies—but rarely the ones who win their love interest or get the life they want.

Well. Not on my watch.

In When Ivy Met Adam, Ivy is proudly bisexual. Adam is proudly pansexual.

And their love is:

• Tender and transformative

• Messy and hilarious

• Safe and sacred

Their story isn’t a sermon or a sacrifice. It’s an HEA. Because queer love doesn’t have to be perfect to be holy. And our identities don’t have to be sanitized to be sacred.

If you’ve ever been made to feel too queer for church or too spiritual for the LGBTQ+ community—you are not alone.

My books are for you. This space is for you. Your story deserves to be told. Fully. Fiercely. Unapologetically.

What makes you feel most affirmed in your queerness—or in your support of queer folks?

Is it a book that opened your eyes?
A friend who held space for you?
A song that made you cry in the car?
A moment in your own love story—or someone else’s—that felt holy?

Drop it in the comments. Let’s celebrate the tiny miracles of connection and the big bold declarations of love alike. Every one of them matters.
