#Repost @seethedawnknitting (@get_repost) ・・・ I'm sitting here this morning, crocheting little hearts to give out tomorrow at Pride, thinking about the young person at Pulse whose body was never claimed because their father was so angry to have a gay kid that he couldn't even be bothered to bury them. Thinking about the thousands of gay men who died of AIDS in the 80's & 90's (and I'm sure even today) with no family members by their side. Thinking of a mom who wrote about giving her son over to the Devil on his wedding day. Thinking of the huge number of homeless LGBTQ teens, most there because their families have rejected them. I know these little hearts don't fix any of that. I know that the LGBTQ community has experienced pain beyond what I've mentioned here, beyond what I can even imagine. But I hope that for just a minute, these little scraps of yarn will communicate love and acceptance and encouragement to the people who take them. It's a small act of kindness. But that's the beautiful thing about kindness. It doesn't have to be big, it just has to BE. #crochet #crochetlove #crochetforacause #seethedawn #lgbtq #pridemonth #prideparade
