“While our society is becoming more accepting of LGBTQ+ individuals, some sects still seek out ways to silence our voices. That is why it is so important for society to amplify the voices of our community. Beyond just breaking harmful stereotypes, amplifying queer voices saves lives. We must make space for LGBTQ+ discussions to ensure that young lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people have the resources to discover themselves and be proud of who they are. Happy Pride!”
