A lot of people are against the LGBT+ community.
It sucks. But I digress, I am sharing this for a reason.
Go tell a queer friend that they are valid. Go tell them they are amazing. Go tell them the truth. Because you never know whether they had to experience hate, whether it be to them, someone else, or in general. As much as I say that I’m confident or I don’t care, it can hurt to know people think you’re disgusting - it can make you feel disgusting. And you can, you’re allowed to be sad, but whatever they say is NOT true.
If it doesn’t hurt you or anyone else, then you can do what you like, love who you want, be who you want. Be who you are, do what makes you happy, and don’t change for anyone.
But to anyone who is exposed to that hate, it’s going to happen. Some people hate us. That’s the way it is. We can work towards changing that - look at Pride. It’s a gathering of us, to show we aren’t afraid. And even if we sometimes are, we can’t let that stop us being ourselves. But we are strong. Emotionally strong. We have to deal with hatred just for being ourselves.
When the world seems like it’s on our shoulders and we feel alone, we have the internet. Because no matter who you are, what you do, how you feel, you are NEVER ALONE. The LGBT+ community is always here for you, the allies, anyone. We can be here for each other, no matter what. I wasn’t just sharing this for the negativity to spread, no, I don’t ever want to spread hate - I want to show that even when there’s negativity, there’s always people there for you. People have backwards views, and that’s not okay, but they don’t matter. I can’t remember when or from whom I saw this, but:
The people that matter don’t mind, and the people that mind don’t matter.
Its all going to be okay. We’re here for each other. We’re strong. We can be Proud. We can be ourselves. Unapologetically.
🏳️🌈 Because we’re here, we’re queer, and we WONT BACK DOWN. 🏳️🌈
Throwback to this rant that I made when I first got Tumblr
