For queer youth in their own communities, @chelleturingan said, "You’re going to hit points in your journey where you’re going to want to stop. [That feeling] doesn't stop when you become an adult. So keep going. It’s well worth the fight."

To mark the end of Pride Month, The Pigeon spoke with the filmmakers behind @XtraMagazine's latest documentary, Small Town Pride, their own queer experiences and the power of queer youth.

On the importance of queer youth, @sparksriley said, "I was in high school in the early 2000s and the tone, depth and, complexity of the conversations that these kids are having now are so far ahead of where we were not that long ago."

"Please do not tokenize us. Please do not assume that Muslims are monolithic. Check in on us, because I can guarantee you, most of us are not okay."
