So, I was tagged by MadiRosieFF to do this and decided I'd finally do this. July's prompt is to write a thingy to the LGBTQ+ community after the events that happened in the United States, my home land. The song is just a little extra, ignore it. So, here it goes.

To all members of the LGBTQ+ community,
Thank you for being here. Seriously, thank you. I don't personally know many members of the community, but I still owe a lot to you. This community brought further civil rights to many countries, and we all owe you for that. So thank you.
As for the haters, homophobes, or fearful "normal" people you must face, forget about them. You are important, every being in this world is important. I don't care if people consider you anything but humans, you are people. You are human beings who want to be free. You are the reason I know anything other than loving the opposite gender. Or, in fact, being anything except your born gender. You are all special, human, and beautiful in your own ways and I applaud you. In fact, any member of this community deserves a metal. You go through hateful words and harsh behaviors, yet you still believe in what you wish to. You still believe in yourself. And if you don't believe in yourself, let me believe in you. I don't care who you are, but every life is worth it.
To those who don't want to fight anymore, I hope you find peace. And may those who die for this cause be martyrs, remembered as soldiers who died for a cause that has yet to be solved. We will win this fight, for those martyrs. We can bring happiness and peace to those martyrs for this community.
And why must there be a community for these people? Why must there be labels for such wonderful humans and lives like theirs'? I believe that we should all be equal. No more labels or genders, no more stereotypes. Merely lives that love one another for their personalities. These communities that get nothing but hate because of a simple element of human nature is disgusting. We are all created equal, so why not let us behave equal? Why not let us live, breathe, play, learn, grow, and love equal? Isn't that all that should matter.
So next time, before you do something to hurt another, just remember that they are part of a community too. And that should change your mind, because we are all human. And no human deserves to be treated specially or terribly. We are all equal. So fight on for your cause, or die a martyr. Either way, you were worth that space and air, at least to me.
With all the love I have, Hope.
