During this Pride Month, and following the tragic shooting in Orlando, it’s important to take time for some self-love. The #QueerSelfLove hashtag on Twitter allows LGBTQ people to share just what they love about their identity. Dylan Marron started the #QueerSelfLove hashtag and encouraged users to join in on the self-love. In an email to GLAAD, Marron stated, “In the wake of Orlando and in the context of a world that has taught us to hate our queerness, I wanted to create a little corner of the internet where people could scroll through queer folks loving themselves out loud, fully and unapologetically.”<\/p>\n

I am a soft-spoken brown queer man<\/a> who wears his mother’s pearl earrings. And I love my queerness. Let’s start a #queerselflove<\/a> hashtag<\/p>\n

As the hashtag started spreading, Twitter users self-identified their #QueerSelfLove in response to Marron’s tweet.<\/p>\n

\n
