🏳️‍🌈 Disowned for Being Queer. I Wrote Through the Pain — and Named the System Behind It.

Hi r/Queer —

(posting on my throwaway account for personal safety)

I’m a queer South Asian American man. A few months ago, my conservative immigrant father disowned me after I came out. But what felt like a personal rupture turned out to be something far bigger.

I just published my first Medium essay:
“A Call to the Children of the Global South: The System That Made My Father Disown Me”

It’s more than a coming out story. It’s about how white supremacy, colonial Christianity, and patriarchy fracture families — and how queer people across the Global South and diaspora are forced to carry those wounds.

This essay is memoir, history, and resistance. I wrote it because silence nearly killed me — and I know I’m not the only one. If you’ve ever felt erased, exiled, or disowned, I hope these words make you feel seen.

If this resonates with you — even a little — I’d be honored if you read, commented, or shared it with someone who needs language for their fracture.
