Hi, I just want to share with everyone about how my day was made. :D While I was at the gas station today someone came up to me and complimented my outfit and my jewellery. Small things like this can LITERALLY make someone's day considering all the bs and bigotry that queer ppl receive. Being kind to others and having love in your heart can be the flowers that bloom out of the ashes of the old, corrupt, bigoted, world.

Stay safe comrades, an remember you're loved no matter who you are <3.

While there’s a need for fighting injustice, for stopping other people from tearing queer people down, there’s also a need for lifting them up. And although big things like trying to make a blockbuster hit movie that focuses on queer perspectives or making a website that hosts resources to learn about LGBTQ+ people and issues (both for LGBTQ+ themselves and allies!) are important, so are smaller day-to-day things. Especially when we’re not all webmasters who work in the movie industry.

Yeah, little moments like this are where some of the most important support is! I’m glad you had a good stranger interaction today.
