I wrote an article about my best friend and about his sexuality. He is gay and I am very proud of all the things that he has been through, overcome, and survived. I had never done anything like this up to this point, and it was very interesting and fun to learn about someone who has a different sexuality than me. People are beautiful just the way they are and I am very proud of how far he has come in his life and that he never lets anyone put him down. He is so strong and I remember when I asked him if I could interview him for this and his really happy reaction! He loved this and I loved that he loved it. I asked him if I could share his story, of course this isn't all if his battles, but it still shows the struggles he's faced and the good things that he has been blessed with. I originally wrote this for a college class and I wanted more people to see this and so I got his permission, he was very okay with me sharing his story. I'm very proud of him and he is the bestest friend I have ever had. I am so happy that after everything, he found someone that loves him. I'm so glad that he has found his soulmate, Derrick. I love you Stefon and I am very proud of you and all that you are! Love is love, the LGBTQ+ community is beautiful❤️🌈❤️
