As we draw this year to a close, I want you to remember a quote from Harvey Feirstein:
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; Define yourself.”
This year has been filled with an unprecedented amount of hate… towards the LGBTQIA community, towards religious groups, toward anyone that falls into a group of “others” Don’t allow that to seep into your heart. Do not accept their definition of who- or what- you are. Do not accept their version of what your life has been. They have their own lives to worry about.
Instead, stand firm in your Truth. Be confident in who you are, as you are, who you are becoming. That is what matters.
