#pride #pride month #lgbtq #lesbian #gay #trans #queer #it gets better #tv #bi #representationFor the month of June we ‘proudly’ shine a light on PRIDE. This month we pay tribute to the accounts supporting the LGBTQ+ community - those young and old, their families and friends, accounts that reflect on the past and are hopeful for a deservedly more inclusive future. We stand with you and support you.
Time to d-d-d-drop some knowledge about LGBTQ+ terms!
Today’s term is non-binary: A person whose gender identity does not conform to the gender binary, which is the erroneous idea that only two distinct and opposite genders exist (man and woman). In reality, many genders exist, and have existed throughout history! Some nonbinary people identify with more than one gender, while others don’t identify with any.
The important thing: there are many ways to be nonbinary, and everyone’s experience with gender is different.

My dear lgbt+ kid,
I kept this message in my drafts for a long time because it’s so kind - and also because it reminds me that I am doing my best to support people.
I tend to feel guilty for not doing more, for just writing silly little letters on tumblr. Your message really provides a different perspective: I took time to make a whole blog just to share love and comfort! Yay, me!
Seriously, thankyou <3
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Dad
