Rachel Maddow

Coming Out to Yourself

There's one person you have to come out to before anyone else: yourself.

And that can be the hardest task.

Conal Charles

Street Youth

40% of homeless youth are LGBTQ.

The #1 reason they're on the street is family rejection.

Straight Boy

It’s tough enough to be a straight boy in a small town high school looking for the love of your life. But at least your possible loves are all out in the open.

Juvenalius

Love Isn’t a Choice

Love isn’t a choice. You fall for the person, not their chromosomes.

I.W. Gregorio

Queer People

The only queer people are those who don't love anybody.

Rita Mae Brown

Coming Out is a Journey

Coming Out is an individual journey taken with everyone you know and everyone who loves you.

Amazing How

Amazing how eye and skin color come in many shades yet many think sexuality is just gay or straight.

DaShanne Stokes
