Life is short. Live proudly. Be yourself.
I spent years being bullied for being gay and being told, directly and indirectly, that I should hide parts of myself.
Not anymore.
These photos are not about attention. They are about courage.
The courage to be visible.
The courage to be authentic.
The courage to live without shame.
I love my family. I love my work. I love my community. I do my best to do good.
And after years of being told who I should be, I finally choose to be exactly who I am.
Proud. Fearless. Free.
We are Pride ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
