These bullied kids took their lives because they couldn't bear the pain and shame. But they were beautiful, whole, and complete. I fight for them everyday

Clockwise from top left: Asher Brown, Billy Lucas, Justin Aaberg, Tyler Clementi, and Seth Walsh.

Often, I think about queer kids like these, feel the piercing pain of growing up in a homophobic society, and do my best to stand up for them, my (15-year-old) self, and love. But make no mistake, we are changing this country and world, as love is triumphing over fear. I will never give up this cause.

With films like this one, LGBT youth are being reminded that they are normal and beautiful, just the way they are

These gay teens show that love is winning (& grinning)!

This is a picture of my boyfriend and I: him (Travis) on the left and me (odair-comma-james) on the right before prom. We have been together now for over five months and he is the love of my life. He has helped me through so much. He has even helped me come out to my siblings and basically our entire school. We are the gay couple of our high school basically. Anyway I just love him so much and I will miss him next year at college when I don’t see him every day!
