You are not alone

Updated: May 8, 2023


The LGBTQ+ community has faced a long history of discrimination, persecution, and violence. Despite the progress made in recent years towards equality, the community continues to face a significant amount of hostility and oppression, as evidenced by the numerous anti-gay laws being passed and the rising levels of hate speech and hate crimes being directed towards them.


It is deeply disheartening to see governments around the world passing laws that explicitly target LGBTQ+ people, criminalizing their existence and erasing their rights. These laws are not only discriminatory but also a blatant violation of human rights. The right to love who you want, be who you are, and live free from discrimination is a fundamental human right that should be upheld for all.

Furthermore, the rising levels of hate speech and hate crimes against LGBTQ+ individuals are alarming. No one should ever have to live in fear for simply being who they are. It is essential that we come together as a society to condemn and combat hate in all its forms, and ensure that LGBTQ+ individuals feel safe, valued, and respected.


To the LGBTQ+ community, please know that you are not alone. We stand with you in solidarity and support. We recognize the immense strength and resilience it takes to exist in a society that often seeks to silence and erase you. Your contributions to our world are invaluable, and we are better for having you in our lives.


Let us all commit to creating a world where everyone is free to be who they are, and where love and acceptance triumph over hate and discrimination. Let us continue to fight for equality and justice for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
