Four years ago, my parents told me I shouldn't be open about my sexuality because I would be judged.
Next week, I'm promposing to the girl I like (she's already agreed to go with me, I just want to do something silly).
Queer joy does exist.
Young queer people, you will find your happiness some day. I believe in you.

reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.
