gay-youth

Gay kids aren__ a __lot point_ that you can play with. Gay kids are real, actual kids, teenagers, growing up into awesome adults, and they don__ have the books they need to reflect that. Growing up, my nose was constantly stuck in a book. Growing up as a lesbian, I was told over and over and over by the lack of gayness in said books that I did not exist. That I wasn__ important enough to tell stories about. That I was invisible. Why are we telling our kids this? Why are we telling them that they__e a minority, and they don__ deserve the same rights as straights, that they__e going to grow up in a world that despises them, that the intolerance of humanity will never change, that they__e worthless. It__ not true.

I, too, am a drum major for justice. I will continue to speak out-LOUD and PROUD- as long as gay youth are killing themselves because someone instilled in them they are not enough. Well, baby, you're more than enough. You were molded with the same care and precision as your heterosexual counterparts. You are unique. God has a special plan for you that only you can fulfill. Live your life!
