"So to answer the question in summation: I am so gay because I can be married in 35 states but fired for doing the same thing in 29 of them. I am so gay because 40% of all homeless youth are LGBTQ. I am so gay because 1 in 12 trans people will be murdered. I am so gay because the same systems that say gay people are less than and need to abide by our standards of normal are the same systems that justify police brutality, discrimination, and voter discrimination laws. Most importantly, I am so gay because I had such loving resources that provided me with so much strength, like my parents, that it would be selfish and wrong to not share that with the people who do not have them yet."
