#nonbinary #coming out #lgbtq #it gets better #adviceIn support of National Coming Out Day, a group of LGBTQ+ Rioters, in partnership with the It Gets Better Project, decided to share their journeys of self-discovery, how they opened up to the world, and their advice for anyone, young or old, who may find themselves in a similar situation. 🏳️🌈❤️

I was inspired to become involved with the It Gets Better Project because I have always felt very sure about who I have been. Growing up I have realized that not everybody has a supportive or comfortable environment to be themselves in! And if I can help somebody feel like they belong- gold star for me :-)
Since 2010, the It Gets Better Project has collected over 60,000 video stories from LGBTQ people and their allies from around the world. Here are some of our favorites from June 2017.
At this year’s DragCon, we met up with some of RuPaul Drag Race’s most wise & hilarious drag queens to ask them for the advice they’d give young people in today’s LGBTQ community.
We partnered with SAGE Table to start conversations with LGBTQ community members of varying generations and backgrounds. Among them were social media creator Shannon Beveridge, Matthieu Dahdah, our own intern McKenna Palmer, and more. The crux: how can we change our future without knowing our past?
President Michelle Bachelet advocates for the LGBTQI youths of Chile – for their talents and abilities through which a more democratic, inclusive, and tolerant Chile will be built.
“There is a world of possibilities waiting for you,” she promises. [Though she says: “hay un mundo lleno de posibilidades esperándolos”]
Google employees assure others from the LGBTQ community that the future is for them – that it’s for everyone, and that they don’t need to worry about being “normal.”
“Normality” is a beautifully diverse world, they assert.
In her video, Berivan Aslan fully condemns the bullying & violence toward the LGBTQ community and emphasizes that we will make it better.

It’s been a year, which means it’s now legal to make terrible puns about all this! They can’t arrest us all. Jokes aside, though, this is the cover of my new comic book, a collection of some of my favourite comics I made in the past year.
Get it now on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09328FH6X) or preorder it on my website : https://www.serioustransvibes.com/listing/997061636/queerantine-comics-for-a-pandemic-by
