You are not alone
#1

Tonight 4 people privately opened up and came out to me, for a couple of them, I am one of the few people they have confided in and come out to. They felt so hurt, disgusted, and shocked by the conduct of a few, that they stepped out in courage and sought somebody. I am floored, and honoured that you trust me, and know I will always have your back and that you are never alone.

4 incredible and strong people. 4.

How amazing is that? I want to thank every sing one of you who stepped up and spoke out against the hate speech.
We can dwell on the controversy and hate stirred up, but what I saw when I took a step back, so many of you were chiming in and speaking out, defending each other, caring for each other. Tonight was hard for a some of community, but I really have hope and am comforted in that every day we are making this place a safer space for all, free of hate and bigotry.

You're awesome Karey, I cant tell you how important it is for me to read things like this, it certainly makes just /existing/ a lot easier. If more people made it known that they were a safe person to reach out to, perhaps we'd all grow a bit closer. Much love.

Some day people will learn that hate speech and "being edgy" isn't "memes", but genuinely hurtful to some people.
Being sensitive to that isn't "being soft", it's called being a decent person.

I'm not on the forums very much but all I ever hear about it is how much horrible stuff gets tossed around. It's nice to know that people like you are here to not only call it out, but help others who also wish to make this site a better place.

Bravo to those who opened up and came out! I'm always down if anyone needs to vent. Part of my goal to be better every day is to encourage others to do the same. Hit me up if you're ever in need.
