LGBTQ Awareness and support is something that is close to my heart. A lot of people I know, including myself, have struggled with the intolerance that still exists within mainstream culture and even within people in my environment. I think it is important to keep an open mind and not let ignorance and intolerance weigh you down. Love is true, natural and shouldn't be defined by what society deems "proper."
Love who you want, be who you are.
I watched Wanda Sykes speech today and being proud is something that I admire about her. Remaining true to yourself and supportive of those around you are things that I have tried to encorporate in my life. There are many people who are not ready to accept those outside their norm, and can spread hateful thoughts. I have been trying to volunteer at The Center which is a LGBT Community Center in Colorado, and I encourage volunteering in an LGBT supportive environment. At my office I'm printing out the Equality and Safe Space signs to emphasize the importance of having a safe area, and spreading awareness of equality.
