welcome to everyone joining our thread.
there is so much love for you all.
growing up i was taught to fear and hate myself.
i know too well what you are going through. our soul tells us one thing, but society tells us another. who do we listen to? who do we trust?
i am so happy that we have allies who allow us the freedom to express ourselves. these interactions have brought me much joy and gratitude. it showed me how far i’ve come and how close we are to love.
for those who are on the other side, it’s not about the labels. it’s about how we feel and how we make others feel.
i’m sorry we made you feel hurt and confused. but as you are in a spiritual forum, can you see a part of you in us? we are reflections after all. you smile at the mirror and we’ll smile back.
for those of us who still go through these kinds of interactions on a daily basis, know that there are places where you are safe and one of them is here.
as you all know i am a youth worker so i interact with our generation who are younger than 19.
do you know that more and more of our youth identify as LGBTQ+? do you know that more of our youth see no difference in colour, gender identity, and sexual orientation?
it moves my heart how only a few months ago they kept to themselves and now they all hang out and share the space with one another as equals.
it’s really quite beautiful and i feel privileged to be a part of our future generation’s growth in freedom of expression and unity.
i wish you all love, peace, and joy my friends!
