Being idealistic really helps you overcome some of the many obstacles put in your path.
Being born gay, black, and female is not a revolutionary act. Being proud to be a gay black female is.
Being black has been put in such a negative light. For such a long time, being black has been criminalized, but being black is something that I should be proud of because we have so many black people who have accomplished so many amazing things in the world.
