At times I think it is easy to forget how lucky some of us are and how free we are to express ourselves how we choose. As a member of the LGBT community and somebody who is open about my own sexuality this tragedy hit me hard however it was also an eye-opener. It reminded me that we should be more open minded, we should talk more frequently about these issues and we should all provide support for each other wherever we can. <br \/>\nI said originally that this image was dedicated to the tragedy in Orlando however with more recent events of violence against beliefs in my own country I felt that it was more suitable to be a dedication against all of the violence that has been occurring. Everybody is entitled to their own beliefs and everybody should have the freedom to be whoever they want to be as long as they are not harming others. We should all unite against violence and instead of focusing on our differences, focus on our similarities. We should learn from each other, help each other, be open minded towards one another and help where we can. There is no need for violence, there is no need for destruction and it breaks my heart to see this day in and day out. <\/p>\n<p>You can contact me for photoshoots at <a href=\"mailto:jessicahingram@gmail.com\" class=\"autohyperlink\">jessicahingram@gmail.com<\/a> or via my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jessicahingramphotography\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Facebook Page<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/tags\/lgbt\/www.jessicahingramphotography.co.uk\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">website<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jess-h-ingram\/27777617685\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7324\/27777617685_593aeba890_n.jpg\" alt=\"We Are More Similar Than We Are Different\" width=\"320\" height=\"255\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We Are More Similar Than We Are Different Jessica-H-Ingram posted a photo: This image and self portrait was originally dedicated to the shootings in Orlando.
