Lesbian Visibility Day 2026
JADE
I never thought I would get married because I never thought I would be brave enough to tell my family I was into women. By the age of 14, I knew I was lesbian. The worries of others not accepting me meant so much because I wasn’t accepting myself. But once I started dating my wife, Christiana, I had to tell everyone! I pushed through the fears of losing people and discovered a self-love that has grown over the last 12 years.
My goal for this year has been to love and take care of myself. I have learned to tend to my inner child and give little Jade the kindness she always deserved. I say no to things I don’t want to do, take myself on long walks, and go on solo dates, all as a form of self-care.
And because of that, I notice the difference in how I show up as a wife and partner. In taking care of myself, I have become a better spouse. One that shows up for Christiana because I also show myself genuine love and care every day.
