These things I did not choose:

  • Being human
  • Where I was born
  • When I was born
  • What is between my legs
  • What is between my ears
  • To love whom I love
  • My height
  • The colour of my skin
  • The colour of my eyes
  • The state of my health

These things I choose:

  • Not to hate
  • Not to harm
  • To question statements made without evidence
  • To try to educate
  • To listen
  • To offer hope
  • To lend a voice to those who can not or dare not speak

LGBT activist. I despise bigots, especially those who use their religion as an excuse for their hate-filled speech.
