meeting indian queers on this india tour has been so magical. i love you.

true acceptance doesn't require erasure

appreciation of our mortality gets us back to our shared humanity!

To all the trans and gender non-conforming people out there: WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! I know it might not seem like it right now, but there is so much love for you. Here’s a room full of people who are rooting for you always! Please share with someone who needs to hear it!

bless your heart!
