I hope every single person who identifies with the LGBTQ+ community is able to live safely and happily, accepted by everyone around them! Never be afraid to be your most authentic self no matter how difficult that may be!
It is important to take care of all those people in our lives, no matter how they identify. 43% of LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness have been forced out of their homes due to conflicts with their families about their sexuality and/or gender. There are many resources our there to help you if you are struggling as a member of the community or if you are interested in understanding the community. I hope that if even 1 person benefits from one of these resources, then this post will have been more than worth it!
