LGBTQ Pride Videos: Holding Me Together

Holding Me Together reflects my journey from internalized homophobia to embracing diversity. I wrote honestly about feelings and observations. Creativity led to positivity.

“Hateful knee-jerk phrases can stick in your mind, like a worn-out song you never liked in the first place, but you should learn to see yourself as beautiful and wonderful.” ๐Ÿณ️‍๐ŸŒˆ Video.

“Treat other people’s insecurities as their weakness, not as a reason to hate yourself or remain silent.” ๐Ÿณ️‍๐ŸŒˆ Video.

“Try to inform others and get along with others, but never base self-acceptance on whether others accept you.” ๐Ÿณ️‍๐ŸŒˆ Video.
