being openly gay in america continues to be a radical act but I hope kids who see terror like this aren’t scared into staying closeted

THIS is why we have #Pride. Because everyday there is someone who wishes we didn't exist, and yet we do, with love and joy. #Pride2016

Being gay is not a joke. It is not a choice. It is not a political act. For those of us who are gay it is an act of love. Be strong. 🌈🌈🌈

despite it all, i've never felt more proud to be gay. being part of the lgbtq+ community is a blessing, and no violent act will change that.
