gaysun:

when i got out of the advanced screening of love simon, two thirteen, maybe fourteen year olds really shyly asked me to take a picture of them in front of the movie poster. the one who gave me their phone got a twitter notification from someone with a rainbow flag and their pronouns in their name while i was taking the picture and i just feel like we’re headed in the right direction and gay kids are being told more and more that they deserve to be loved and accepted and i can’t tell u how much that warms my heart. like im probably only 5/6 years older than them but when i was their age i was hiding in my bedroom watching gay rom coms not seeing them in theaters (and even the watching them in my bedroom part was hard). it’s obviously not everything and ill never claim it is but it made me feel so hopeful !!
