It’s not always easy being gay. Sometimes it’s not even accepted by your friends and family. It makes you wonder if they were ever truly your friends or ask yourself how a mother cannot love their own child. It hurts.

But there is always support and someone to talk too. And no matter what there is always someone who loves you for who you are.

I’m lucky, my friends and family accept me for who I am. A friend once told me, 'never regret anything that once made you smile.'

Just be yourself, whoever that may be!
