Hey loves! I just realized tomorrow's July 1st, meaning the official pride Month is ending sadly! I just wanted to give a little speech if you don't mind. So let me tell you something big. You're valid. I don't care what your parents say or your friends say. You're valid no matter what. I'm dead serious. If you're closted, still valid. Homophobia is real, yeah I get that but use that to prove people wrong. I know I sound corny but trust me, putting aside other people's opinions about who you truly are helps a whole ton. Support yourself. Do whatever you gotta do to get comfortable in your skin. It told me ages to accept myself for being gay, black, and gender queer. That weighed me down a whole ton. Take baby steps and don't push yourself because that's when you get uncomfortable and hurt. I will always have my door open for anyone who needs help with trying to be accepted. Your awesome new gender confused friend, Leo
