Check on your LGBTQ+ friends and family. 💛 Yesterday, there was yet another mass attack on the LGBTQ+ community. I usually have all the words but today, words aren’t coming easily. My good friend Bethany (some of you know her as @goldenwildflorals) said it best today in her own post, so I’d like to share it with y’all. “We are feeling heavy sorrow after hearing about the tragedy at ClubQ. Let this be a reminder to our allies, present & future, that the the LGBTQ+ community... your friends... family members... your florists... still need ACTIVE DEFENSE & PROTECTION. Speak up. Vote. Defend those that would be demonized and kept from safety, freedom, respect, & unconditional love. Allies, we need your response and your courage. To Our LGBTQ+ Family: We are infinite. We are beautiful. And we are on the side of truth. Wishing peace & comfort to each one of you as you mourn. Fear is a liar. Love always wins. LOVE ALWAYS WINS.” - Bethany Now, speaking from my heart, I want to say: to my LGBTQIA+ humans - I SEE YOU. I feel your hurt and your fear. I’m so tired too. This is a space to process those feelings together. This space will forever be a beacon of queer love, but it can also be a space to process the hurt that comes with it. I’m really really glad you’re here. 💛 #lovewins #lovealwayswins #clubq
