John, on behalf of 8 million LGBTQ+ students in this country I thank you. Together we’re creating a better, safer, and more inclusive future for all young people. 

GLSEN’s friends and supporters like you have helped them overcome the unique challenges and struggles they continued to face during the on-going pandemic and—more importantly—amplified voices and created connections for LGBTQ+ students. 

John, I’m always so inspired by hearing from the students we serve, so today I am sharing a collection of empowering affirmations in their voices.

“No matter how alone or lost you feel, you will find yourself and your community.” 
—Jordyn (they/he)

“The only opinion that matters about yourself is your own. You’re worth so much and you owe it to yourself to be the best version of you.”
—Erin (they/she)

“Be kind to yourself. You are more than enough. All the time you put into your work is acknowledged and valued. We need more people like you in society.” 
—Yamali (she/xyr)

“Maybe you’re not in the best place this instant. Maybe you’re not around your people. But realize you still have the most powerful thing yet: yourself.” 
—Elliott (all pronouns)

Only together can we support better, safer, more affirming and inclusive communities for all young people. Thank you again for your continued commitment to GLSEN’s mission and work.
