Mine is my voice and the fact that I'm gay.” - Ross Matthews “Love yourself, whatever makes you different, and use it to make you stand out.Accept no one's definition of your life define yourself.' - Harvey Fierstein Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Make them into your laptop’s wallpaper, whatever.
Remember these Pride quotes, fellow queers and allies - print them out. People assume that because we can get married and serve in the American military, that full parity has been met, and we live in some society where all things are equal. These short notes, these quotes for Pride should be remembered like a melody, kept in our hearts and minds, and shared with others.Īnd yet, because of persecution and queer erasure, so many Pride quotes are at risk of being lost or forgotten. When LGBTQ+ people and allies speak about our history, our joy, our fraught existence, there is within those letters an entire oral tradition that elevates language into something more. There is power in words, in quotes, and the eloquence of others.
