Wanna give a big shout out to all the closeted LGBTQ+ people this pride.. You’re valid and we all love and support you.. You’re gonna make it through this. You’re gonna figure everything out. You’re gonna get out of your bad situation. And i’m so proud of you! You are strong! And beautiful! And JUST AS V A L I D! ! ! ! Don’t let anyone make you think otherwise ❤
it sucks being closeted during pride month where everywhere you look there’s billboards and posters. seeing people out and proud and wishing you could be like them, going to parades and being fully accepted by people you don’t even know. one day when you’re more comfortable with yourself or you get to a safe accepting place. but you are so SO strong and we can get through this month together.️️️✊✊✊❤️✊✊✊

To closeted lgbtq+ teens and children living in far right, conservative christian, and/or conspiratorial and hateful homes. Know that you are valid and that everything will eventually turn out ok in the end. Know that you’re not alone and I hope you can take care of yourself and have a wonderful day.
happy pride to everyone who has to stay in the closet, to everyone who has to keep their identity secret for their own safety, to everyone who lives in a bigoted household and has to hear hatred against their community without being able to speak against it, to everyone who’s governments are trying to take their rights away, to anyone who’s government refuses to give them rights. we are ALL queer, even if some of us have to hide. ily all. peace
That feeling when meeting extended family and they say “you must have boys wrapped around your finger”, “do you have a boyfriend?”, or “any crushes???” is closeted culture, and will forever go unmatched.
