letters-to-lgbt-kids:

My dear lgbt+ kids,

Here’s simply a little reminder: Be gentle.

Be gentle with others – and be gentle with yourself.

Be gentle with your heart, be gentle with your body.

Gentle almost sounds like a bad word sometimes. People think of it as a sign of weakness. “The world is cruel – get used to it”, they say.

But that’s a terrible way of looking at it. The world is cruel – make it a little less so.

With all my love,
Your Tumblr Mom
