Timothy – My Pride Story

“Pride, to me, means exploring, unpacking, articulating, and embracing everything that authentically makes me Timothy. I’ve spent too much in my life believing the lies people told me about queer people, and not reaching my full potential because of it. The greatest thing about getting older is learning more and more who I truly am, and not letting hate control my self-worth. We’re all being constantly bombarded with gender norms and cis-heteropatriarchy, and the more I cast off those parameters and expectations, the more joyous and whole I become. I’ve fought hard to be able to live my life to the fullest and now I want to pass that freedom on to the next generation.“ Timothy from Dallas. #PersonalStories
