In this letter, the author writes to her younger brother, a "white, male, able-bodied, financially secure and straight" person. She urges him to acknowledge the incredible privilege that this affords him and for him to think more before he makes rape jokes. She details her own experiences growing up in rape culture and tries to get her brother to sympathize with her and other women and men's experiences with it as well. Along with the text there are several images such as a picture of a young man, potentially her brother, and a picture of a button with the words "End Rape" written on it.

In this short piece, the author condemns misogyny and stresses the importance of intersectionality. More specifically, he writes that he and other fellow "gay, bi and queer men" need to acknowledge the fact that misogyny and homophobia are linked. He argues that misogyny affects not just women but all individuals and that fighting for the freedom of every person is the only way to true liberation.

This poem deals with the author's frustration with Christianity and their sexuality. Various images surround the poem such as pictures of hands, geometric shapes, and a cat's eye. In this poem, Salazar expresses her distaste for the phrase "love the person, hate the sin" in their experience as bisexual. Salazar concludes that Christians hate all of Salazar because bisexuality is Salazar's identity, and condemns "religious-based bigotry".
