“It’s LGBT HISTORY Month and my home is having a rainbow makeover.
Being a lesbian is not a crime.Born gay is a gift. Bisexuals are beautiful. Transgender are fantabulous.

We are made perfect by God. And it’s is God’s will that we are part of the world’s diverse human race. LGBT history helps us learn about those who are queer and have survived and achieved beyond the hatred and discrimination. We exist in all families, cultures and works of life. We are tomorrow’s history. Be who God has made you to be.”
