1. Harry Winston

Harry Winston Part of being a minority is being watched, judged, and criticized. It’s just a package deal in our society. So what you ought to do is make the most of an uncomfortable situation. Open the minds of close-minded people, who don’t realize that girls who like girls are just as amazing as anyone else! You aren’t plotting to tear apart the fabric of society; you are just a human being who deserves respect.

2. President Obama

President Obama Even the U.S. president, arguably the most powerful man alive, believes in equal treatment of you and other women like you. That’s definitely saying something! While for now, some radicals may still argue that you are a threat to society, we know that society is pretty dysfunctional now anyway. So with change, hope, and leaders who stand for those things, you can rest assured that this troubled time in your life will certainly pass!

3. Ellen Page

Ellen Page One day, love will enter your life. Then, all of the hatred people have thrown at you will fade into background noise as you feel accepted and loved by the one you’ll spend the rest of your life with. Because love isn’t restricted to only straight people. Even if you’re not out of the closet yet, or if you are afraid of what will happen when you come out, you can cling to this hope and dream of a better future.

4. Rita Mae Brown

Rita Mae Brown Weigh the pros and cons of conformity, and then ask yourself what’s worth more? Genuine self-love and self-acceptance, or love from other people that’s based on a lie? Obviously the first one! While it’s definitely difficult to sacrifice other relationships, honestly friendships with people so shallow and close-minded are not worth keeping! You’ll find a much more accepting community when you tell the truth to others and yourself.

5. Chaz Bono

Chaz Bono Enter Chaz Bono! As I just said, there is another community awaiting you—a welcoming community of LGBTQA people and allies who will love you regardless of your sexuality. If, when you first come out, you feel hated, judged, and alone, don’t give up on yourself and others. Those feelings will only last as long as you’re in that environment. Once you get out, you’ll find an amazing community where you can take pride in your identity! Most importantly, know that nothing bad can last forever, and there’s a light at the end of every tunnel.

6. Will Smith

Will Smith People who actually think about what should and shouldn’t be socially accepted generally agree that love isn’t something anyone should hate. Life is rough enough as it is! If you can find someone to help you endure it, you shouldn’t be condemned by others for that.

7. Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton sees a future for America in which girls who like girls and guys who like guys can grow up without fear of judgement, and can ultimately marry the person of their choosing (which they now can). Why? Because gay people are people. You aren’t an isolated case of genes gone wrong, or anything like that. You aren’t broken, and you didn’t choose to feel this way. Homosexuality exists globally, across race, gender, class, and religion. Anyone who tells you otherwise needs to open their eyes!

What you are going through is definitely a struggle, but just know that you aren’t alone. There is a way out of feeling trapped—being honest and finding solace in the gay community. I hope these quotes helped you feel less abandoned. Do you have any wise words for girls who like girls?

@Ruby M what u said is so true and as a christian i tend quite upset when people try to justify being gay by bringing God in because that's not what my bible teaches me.

Wow this helps me understand..

@Zanna yes God loves everybody and He teaches us to love one another but this same God hates sin and just like adultery, fornication etc, homosexuality is also a sin. What did God do to Sodom and Gomorrah?

It is helpful but at the same time limiting those of other labels

Lovely understanding post. God made us all and who are we to judge whether or not a lady fits into his plan ? I neither condone or condemn it but just these souls are happy.

@Maame. Let God judge, not us , for who are we to claim perfection? I personally don't think homosexuality is Gods biggest worry. I think hate and racism and terrorism are much more important than what other people do in bed.

Great post!

The time will come when people will not listen to sound doctrine, but will follow their own desires and will collect for themselves more and more teachers who will tell them what they are itching to hear. They will turn away from listening to the truth and give their attention to legends. (‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭3-4‬ GNT)

The God I know and love, the one my parents taught me about, loves ALL of his children. We are ALL worthy of his love.

@Beryl yes God did make us all and if we truly love and respect him as our creator then we will also accept his standards of right and wrong and will take his stance on issues like homosexuality. 1 Corinthians 6:9 says 'Or do you not know that unrighteousness people will not inherit God's kingdom. Do not be misled. Those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts, men who practise homosexuality... Will not inherit God's kingdom'. Obviously that applies to men and women. Just to say, I'm not condoning hate acts against homosexuals and we do show kindness and respect to everyone as we are encouraged to do in the Bible. But respecting someone doesn't mean accepting or agreeing with certain choices they may make.
