We don’t get to choose our heroes. They show up and stand up and build foundations of greatness. There can be no doubt that Miss Major Griffin-Gracy was the hero we needed and she spent her whole life showing that to us. Yesterday, we lost a legend, a friend, and a mother. Rest in power.

“I don’t need their permission to exist, I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.”
