In a lot of ways it doesn't. I'm pansexual, that means I'm attracted to everyone. It doesn't mean anything really in relationship with tarot. People like to think of queer people as magical - which is kind of cool but also kind of patronizing depending on how you say it. Like it is special to be queer, it's not average, but also it doesn't make me "more magical" than the next person. Just like being hard of hearing doesn't make me "more in tune" with the other worlds as a default. It does make me more unique in some ways - it's not average - but I don't like being fetishized for it either.


That being said, I am queer and about a third to half of the people who come in to see me are on a queer spectrum too. Not because they know me outside of my practice, or even that they know I am queer beforehand, but because they are drawn to me. You tend to find readers that you can relate to on some level. It's just what happens.
