It's Okay Not to Be Okay Sometimes

Zachariah Griffin

 

Make Your Own Kind of Music

A beautiful movie (BEAUTIFUL THING) and an inspiring song.

Nobody can tell ya,
There’s only one song worth singin’,
They may try and sell ya,
As it hangs them up to see
someone like you

But you've gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sing along.

You're gonna be no where.
the loneliest kind of lonely.
It may be rough goin',
just to do your thing's
the hardest thing to do.

But you've gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sings along.

So if you cannot take my hand,
and if you must be goin',
I will understand.

You gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sings along.

You gotta make your own kind of music
sing your own special song,
make your own kind of music even if nobody
else sings along.

 

Lesbian Teen Comes Out in High School MLK Assembly

"I want to break the silence," Kayla K. tells Maria Carrillo High School in Santa Rosa, California, during the school's assembly celebrating the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. "And I want to make one thing very clear: I didn't choose to be gay. Facing this reality was the most challenging thing I've had to do in my entire life. … I want to fall in love with someone one day, and I want to walk down the street and hold her hand. … And eventually, I want to marry her. I want to buy a house with her."

Young Gay Love Anthem: I Want to Hold Your Hand

Singer Zachariah Griffin romps with his boyfriend in this video of Z's cover of "I Want to Hold Your Hand."  So cute!

If you're single, you'll find someone.  

If you've got someone, show your love.

Hold someone's hand.  And sing along.  Loudly.

There's even a Facebook Group to promote holding hands in public!

 

Athletes Asked to Come Out as LGBTQ Allies

ATHLETEALLY.COM was created by HUDSON TAYLOR as a resource to encourage athletes, coaches, parents, fans and other members of the sports community to respect all individuals involved in sports, regardless of perceived or actual sexual-orientation or gender identity or expression.

ATHLETE ALLY PLEDGE: “I created the Pledge so that we, as an athletic community, can take proactive steps to end homophobia in sports. When we inspire entire teams and athletic departments to commit to a new standard of athletic integrity, we will change the environment in locker rooms and on playing fields. Adding your name to the growing list of supporters is the first step to make a difference.”
