Have you seen any quotes, comments or posts online that you would like to share in this thread to spread a bit of LGBTQ positivity? Any quotes, comments or posts that will provide hope and inspiration to other members and visitors? Here's one I saw yesterday: Just because I suddenly came out does not mean I suddenly became gay.

Saw this amid a heated Facebook discussion about same-sex marriage. Translated it into English word for word, as close as possible: “Love is beautiful, no matter if it is shared by a man and woman, or two men, or two women.

"We are not what other people say we are. We are who we know ourselves to be, and we are what we love. That’s okay." — Laverne Cox "If you're not personally free to be yourself in that most important of all human activities — the expression of love — then life itself loses its meaning." — Harvey Milk "Love yourself, whatever makes you different, and use it to make you stand out." — Ross Mathews "There's nothing wrong with you. There's a lot wrong with the world you live in." — Chris Colfer "We can climb mountains with self-love. I want to make sure that any young person, or anyone, really, who is looking up to me… that they see no shame, that they see pride, and that I'm truly unabashed about the person that I am." — Samira Wiley "Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself." — Harvey Fierstein “Love him and let him love you. Do you think anything else under heaven really matters?” – James Baldwin (Idrk if those are Lgbtq+ but those are some quotes I like)
