Remember: we're not some new trend. We have always been here. Despite repeated attempts to erase us by powerful monsters throughout history, we are still here. We're not going anywhere. We will survive. We will thrive. The future belongs to all of us. And what a future it will be! #TDOV #nonbinary #enby #trans #gender #NoLGBTwithouttheT #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ #LGBT #TDOV #TransDayOfVisibility
Queer may have been a derogatory term when I was growing up, but language evolves and so has the Pride banner. We are all in this together, we cannot allow parts of our community to be singled out and discriminated against by those outside and within the community. We are all Human, let's all act like decent ones and just love & support each other unconditionally.
