But Palm's overcome those fears - he has built a restaurant and a bar and he has learned English because he will be good enough for Nueng, he will be someone worthy of standing by his side (and Nueng reassures him, in a thousand little ways, that he loves Palm back. This is the most important part).

idk im moving to a new apartment and i was packing up my stuff, and i found one of my pride flags that i got last year at pride, and i’d bought it from an indigenous person who was selling like indigenous themed pride stuff in addition to the standard pride flags and bracelets and whatnot, and we wound up having a conversation about how difficult it is to change your name when you’re a more masc presenting person. they had a white sounding legal name and wanted to change it to something that better reflected their culture but struggled because they were masc presenting, even though the name they wanted to be their legal name was also pretty masculine sounding (to me at least, idk if it was in their culture). i’d shared that experience despite being a white person who was much younger than them, due to my more masculine appearance. 

the first drag show i went to, there was a section at the end after all the like professional performers went where people in the audience could come up and do a little on the fly costume, just for sillies. and there were two people (very femme presenting), one in a bi pride necklace, and they got engaged on stage. i dont remember a single person who wasn’t just overjoyed to see queer love in public.
