You are Valid. You are Worthy. You are NEVER alone.
To our Beautiful Community:
We see you, we hear you, and we mourn with you. It is important to take the necessary time to grieve, to hold space for yourself, and to gather together in support. Yes, uncertain times may lay ahead of us but you are not alone. As the results began rolling in last night so did the calls from activists and allies, emboldened and ready to be on the front lines to protect you. A favorite quote from Ms. Sylvia Riveria comes to mind:
“We also have to remember one thing: that it was just not the gay community and the street queens that really escalated this riot — it was also the help of the many radical straight men and women that lived in the Village at that time, that knew the struggle of the gay community and the trans community. So the crowds did swell.”
— Sylvia Rivera
You are not alone. We standby ready to take action along with our growing numbers of straight allies and neighbors. So friends, hold space for yourselves and each other in coming days and weeks. When you’re ready, we are here to fight alongside you for the next four years. You are not alone.
-The Glass House Tyler
