“I would never degrade the fight you have all endured, the adversity that you have all been through to truly be seen, to be heard, or the struggles that you’ve been through to love yourselves and to seek that love from other people. Honestly? I really, really love you. You are strong. You are so strong. You welcomed me into your community in the most beautiful of ways that I will never forget. My whole life changed because of you. I’m trembling speaking to you, you’re making me nervous. The universe, the universe brought us together in the spirit of kindness and we together, we’re a powerhouse.” - Lady Gaga at Pride Live’s Stonewall Day Concert on the 28th of June, 2019.
