to any trans person who gets misgendered or called their dead name this holiday season, you and your gender is valid. you’re amazing and worth more than people who refuse to acknowledge who you are.

to any gay, lesbian, pan, bi, or queer person whose sexuality is ignored or invalidated or made fun of this holiday season, you are beautiful the way you are and who you love is valid.

to any lgbtq+ person who is treated poorly by family this holiday season, there is nothing wrong with you and you are perfect the way you are. the issue is with the people who can’t accept you for who you are. not you.
