I get that the younger generation doesn't understand why pride matters, why kink identity expression matters. Why our safe spaces for sex positivity matter.
But they didn't grow up in a world where being "fag bashed" and left to die on a barbwire fence in Wyoming was a thing.
Know someone in your life who matters? tell em.
Love someone, even as a friend? tell em.
Hug everyone as if its the last time you see them, because it might be.
Love and charish every moment of life... its short.
