“This is a powerful form of resistance—living and loving proudly while shielding yourself from internalizing the ignorance out there. I know this is easier said than done. I know it isn’t always safe to be who you are. I’m committing to do whatever I can to help change that, and I call upon others to do the same. You’re part of a great community where there are more members and allies than you think. You’re strong, brave, and resilient. Things will get better. There are many of us out here fighting to make it so. Stay safe and refuse to despair. Thank you.”
