We are the rebellious, the unconforming minority who refuses to stay in the shadows. We live in a world that tells us that to be accepted by "society," we must act a certain way. We eschew this dogma and make our own rules instead. Outnumbered though we are, we persevere, knowing the time will come when we will no longer be relegated to the shadows. We are the dark monarchs.
