We've been taught that silence would save us.
But it won't.
I can't live my life straight because you're straight.
I can't.
I just gotta live my life for me and do it for me.
Because this is my life.
I've done my hair down.
I've worn the dresses.
I've done things that aren't natural to me.
To please other people.
I was told to wipe off my makeup and be a boy.
What they should have told me to be myself.
If other people are uncomfortable
That is not your problem.
That is their problem.
I want to tell other queer people
That it is okay to be yourself.
We won't stand for hatred.
LGBTQ+ people are strong and and resilient.
We're not gonna go away.
It's so important that we keep fighting
For the right to be who we are.
The right to love whoever we want to love.
Like all civil rights movements that have gone before
We're not going to give up.
I'm still a proud gay man!
Okay.
We have to be out and proud, and visible where we can.
For the people where they can't.
I live pride every single day.
Refuse to ever give up.
What do we do? Stand up! Fight back!
We love you.
Bye.
That's it for today.
See you again.
I love you.
Stay strong.
