WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE OUT or TO BE AN ALLY?
I think it’s important to show support to those who are in the LGBT community and show to the rest of the world that you don’t have to be Gay to be supportive and understand that we are all people.
WHY ARE YOU “PROUD”? WHAT ARE YOU MOST “PROUD” OF?
I’m most proud of my ability to be myself.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO OTHERS WHO COME OUT?
Well, I guess I would just say do it at your own pace and know that there are many people out there who are supportive, and even when it doesn’t seem like it, there are people who love and support you for you.
THOUGHTS FOR NON-LGBT PEOPLE ABOUT LGBT PEOPLE AND CONCERNS:
Be open, hold discussions and keep and open mind. No two people are alike, and there is no right or wrong. Each person has the ability to make their own decisions for themselves.
