Octavia was curious about queer sexuality and so she attended a meeting at the Gay and Lesbian Service Center to get more information. After listening to participants share their experiences of being part of the LBGTQIA+ community, she decided in that moment that identifying as queer was not for her: “I realized, Nope, this ain’t it. I also realized, once I thought it over, that I’m a hermit. I enjoy my own company more than I enjoy most other people’s—and going to parties or trying to meet Mr. or Ms. Right or whatever simply doesn’t appeal to me”
