In 2020, while balancing a hectic life in Sydney, the author recalls meeting Herschel in Brisbane during a family Christmas visit. Initially resistant to being set up by their brother, who believed they would connect, the author experienced an unexpected shift in perspective upon seeing a video introduction from Herschel. This meeting not only challenged the author's past assumptions about romantic connections but also marked a pivotal moment in their personal journey, highlighting the complexities of queer relationships and family dynamics.
"I met Herschel on 20 December 2020... it was also the day that a once firmly held belief of mine was shattered into oblivion."
"As much as I cherish my straight allies, there's a familiar trope that involves them earnestly attempting to set us up with someone merely because they share our sexual orientation."
