“I was scared of the backlash that would follow until one day, I was more afraid that I wouldn’t be able to pursue my dream.

For everyone who’s still afraid, I hope it will soon turn into courage.” – Noon

So much of our lives are lived in a way that we were taught to believe would lead to a morally acceptable and happy life. Even when we do exactly those things and are unhappy, instead of thinking maybe there is something wrong with what we were taught, we instead think there is something wrong with us.

Definitely consider watching this if you’re LGBT+. If you’re not, still consider watching if you’re up for opening your heart and mind to see and understand the stories of people who don’t fit into society’s mold but are still good people who aren’t hurting anyone by being themselves and who want to be happy just like everyone else.
