Is that your girlfriend over there?

I had to make a decision, you know. Like we all had to do. I mean, it’s not easy for anyone and that’s part of the- it’s part of the problem, you know. And I had to ask myself, ‘am I a part of the problem?’. You know, I see all of these actors, people I work with, people I know, who are living two lives. And one of which is secret. And I can’t help but think that if I’m hiding something, then I’m ashamed of it. I think if you’re hiding anything - no matter how good your reason is - then you’re ashamed of it and I was so tired of seeing countless adolescents taking their lives because they couldn’t understand that it gets better. And part of the reason they didn’t understand that is because they’ve got no role models, they’ve got no people really confirming that it does get better. And it’s okay to be how you are. You’re born that way. We might as well start criminalizing people who are left-handed.

It’s who I am and who I love. I’ll never get to apologize for it or hide it because it’s not wrong. And I don’t feel ashamed of it. I have a lot to risk and a lot of people who’ve come before me had a lot to risk and I can’t help but think I have to stand up for what’s right.

I’d rather go down for doing what’s right, than to rise for doing what’s wrong.

Mi mujer <3
