My love, there are galaxies and starlight seeping through your veins.
You glow far more than you can ever imagine.
Whether you have been out of the closet or deep within, still; you are valid. You are worthy. YOU ARE LOVED.
Yes, you!
You who have been shunned for living their truth, you who have been shamed for speaking up, you who have been told to dim their lights.
Don't you dare listen to them; not a word.
You earned your place for the mere reason that you exist. You do not need to beg for their tolerance. We demand it from them.
Your voice is as loud as anyone else's, so scream. Scream that they may never mistake your silence for compliance, scream so that those who are in the closet may hear you and have the courage to take the space that they are entitled to. Scream as long as you have a voice and until our throats are raw. We demand SOGIE Equality for All, SOGIE Equality Now!
Scream so they may never forget your name, because you matter.
Never let them dim your shine; I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.
