LGBTQ+ Community Check-In: Week of 5th December - 11th December

[The image shows holiday decorations and says "It's the holiday season"]

The holiday season is in and I hope my dear subcommunity is doing amazing!

Even though the atmosphere remains cheerful and vibrant on the outside, we need to acknowledge the melancholy that rides behind the sleds.

Questions:

1. How do you feel about meeting up with your friends and/or family this holiday season?

2. What else do you wish to be doing instead of the meet ups?

To be questioning or to be out, both require lots of courage and we love everyone, no matter what stage you are on. This season, while we might be making or mending relationships, I encourage everyone to say at least a few lines to themselves because whoever you are, wherever you are, you deserve to be loved.
