Blow Out the Fire

A few people have asked what I want for my birthday. It's simple (and cheap): If you are LGBT, tell your story for the It Gets Better Project. I remember what it felt like growing up, and sometimes I don't know how I kept breathing through it. Then I see some of you on my friends page, and I realize it's because I had you there to love me. So share that love-- because I'm here celebrating my 35th birthday thanks to people who were there to hold my hand and tell me "it gets better."
