Today is #SpiritDay<\/a> which is a day about LGBTQ+ bullying
I have been harassed for being gay<\/a> in school and called queer but I\u2019m still here.
No matter what, I\u2019ll always be me.
I\u2019ll always have my friends.
I\u2019ll always have my community.<\/p>\n

To all the younger kids who come across my profile: It took me a few years to get to this point. I remember being 16\/17, hiding in my room where the internet was the only place I found community. It soon became the only place where I found representation. – – – As I grew older I began to see, meet and even become someone I admired. – – – I live as openly as I possibly can because in 2017 (which is actually the year I graduated high school) surveys showed that LGBTQ+ students ages 13-21 in Florida: \u2022experienced verbal harassment (82%) \u2022heard gay used in a negative or derogatory way (96%) \u2022heard homophobic remarks and slurs regularly at school (92%) \u2022regularly heard other students in their school make negative remarks about how someone expressed their gender (87%) \u2022regularly heard school staff make negative remarks about someone’s gender expression (27%) \u2022regularly heard school staff make homophobic remarks (22%) \u2022were sexually harassed (70%) – – – Now while I constantly preach “keep holding out” I don’t want to say that anymore. I don’t want to live in a world where children and teens have to routinely suffer because they’re LGBTQ+ or any type of different until they get to high school or even college before people realize they’re being ignorant and\/or hateful. – – – I don’t want to have to say “we need to protect LGBTQ+ kids” and have someone who has the audacity to say “we want to protect all kids”. If you’re not protecting kids who are LGBTQ+, black\/brown, who are just “different” because of something they can’t change then you automatically fail to protect all the children you claim to care for. – – – On this Spirit Day, I not only express how happy I am that I survived the trials I’ve faced over the years but that I will continue to use my own narrative to explain why the kids coming up after me need the protections that I didn’t have when I was in their shoes. – – – I hope one day I won’t have to say “please keep going” or “keep holding on” because I’m tired of seeing LGBTQ+ youth be hurt or mistreated for who they are.<\/a><\/p>\n

Happy #SpiritDay<\/a> to my fellow LGBT+ people! Bullying isn’t cool, funny or fun. It can seriously damage a person’s lifestyle.

About Spirit Day <\/strong><\/p>\n

Each year, millions go purple for GLAAD\u2019s Spirit Day to support LGBTQ youth in a united stand against bullying. Started in 2010 by high school student Brittany McMillan in response to numerous young LGBTQ lives lost to suicide, Spirit Day now draws the participation of celebrities, schools, faith institutions, national landmarks, corporations, media outlets, sports leagues, and advocates around the world, all joining together to stand against bullying and support LGBTQ youth.<\/p>\n

Presenting partners Pantene and Target, official partners Kellogg\u2019s and the NBA and WNBA, and community partners Amazon, Johnson & Johnson, Kirkland & Ellis, and Wells Fargo will all participate in the anti-bullying campaign. As anti-LGBTQ policies, hate crimes, and harassment are on the rise, it is now especially important to let all marginalized youth know they are supported.<\/p>\n

This year, Spirit Day is on October 17, 2019. Take the Spirit Day pledge to show LGBTQ youth you’ve got their backs at glaad.org\/spiritday.<\/a> Follow @GLAAD on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to keep up to date with #SpiritDay news.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
