    I am not sure how anyone can be “weak” when they constantly face so much discrimination, bullying and harassment and choose to spread a message that is essentially love is love. That’s heroic, not weak. You know who else persisted with a message of love under duress and hardship? Jesus.

    Edit to say that I agree with the other commenters about being Strong and Gay 💪🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

      It’s interesting because I just saw a documentary about Roy Cohn and even though he was gay as the day was long, he would never identify as gay. Mostly because he viewed gay people as weak and as victims. Which wouldn’t mesh with his view of himself as powerful. It’s an abhorrent mindset that might apply here as well.
