Today’s younger generation may not fully grasp the trials and tribulations people faced in bygone eras. Life back then wasn’t always about lighthearted greetings like ‘Hello Darl’, glamorous events, or festive Mardi Gras parties. Instead, it was a time when revealing one’s true identity could lead to life-threatening situations, soul-crushing experiences, and even drive individuals to the brink of suicide.

These are the authentic narratives that warrant publication. They represent our history, a history that should never fade into oblivion. It’s crucial for these stories to be told and retold, to ensure that the struggles of those who came before us are not forgotten. These historical accounts serve as a stark reminder of the hardships endured by past generations, and they provide invaluable lessons for the present and future.

By publishing these articles, we are preserving our history and ensuring that the younger generation understands the significance of these past events. It’s essential to remember that our present society was shaped by these past struggles, and by acknowledging them, we can hope to continue building a more understanding and compassionate future.”
