When it comes to love, it seems we often focus on finding it in a romantic sense. Many yearn to find “the one,” and sometimes, in that journey, we forget to focus on self-love.
It can be a journey to find that self-love, especially when we belong to a community that is currently under attack. But believe me, self-love and acceptance are two of the most important relationships we will ever have.
As members of the LGBT community, it can be hard for some of us to learn to love ourselves after years of ridicule, harassment and bullying.
And that doesn’t even include the constant political attacks on our human rights. Many in our community are looked at as “less than” by those same people who have caused much of these issues.
