    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. I've been gay all my life. Why treat me any differently? The only bad thing about being gay is some people's reaction to it.

    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. People love each other and it is what matters. How can we deny them the rights to be together and to legally be the family that they already are, as if they are not the same human being as the rest of us?”

    Honestly, I want to hug the person who originally wrote that. Bless their heart.

    It was on a meme... "I didn't come out of the closet, I let you in", or something similar to that. It struck a chord with me because I've only let a few people know about my true sexuality.
