Today is the day to show support for all of those who have suffered through the torture of being bullied for being gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, or just choose to live outside the perceived story of "normal".
It is time to stop the fear, shame, and loss of self-acceptance because somebody else tells you that you are less than. There is no room for that story any more and it is important to speak up when you can, find help when you need it, and love yourself for exactly who you are.
There will always be people out there who want to tell us we are less than, so it is important that we learn to quiet that voice inside ourselves that wants to tear us down. Be strong in who you are knowing that no one has the right to steal your spirit, your light, and your unique gifts that only you can bring to the world.
Pain will pass. Death is permanent.
Reach out before feeling forced into a decision that you can not change.
