Sarah Mosteller sits on her desk in her room on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at her apartment in Columbia. She is a lesbian photographer who runs her own business and is trying to attract more queer clients. “Honestly, being able to be myself at this point, and not having to hide who I am, is so freeing, and it feels just so good to just be yourself and not have to worry about that,” Mosteller said. “The best love I've ever experienced— and best friendships, relationships—has come from people who accept me. I thought that the people who didn't accept me, I thought that what they were showing me was love. But I think discovering what actual unconditional love feels like, it's just so rewarding that I don't even let those people in my past get to me because I used to think that that's all that love was. But then when I learned what it actually felt like I realized there's so much more to life than what they had to offer.”
