I’m a straight, cis female y’all but saying I’m proud of Dan and Phil is an understatement. I’m proud and happy for them that they feel comfortable enough to share such a personal part of their lives with the world. But I’m also EXTREMELY proud of them for using their platforms to help others. The words and experiences they have shared over the years and will continue to share are so important. They make people feel less alone in the world and like it is okay to be themselves. I don’t know about y’all but they give me hope for the future. They show how things really can get better and you can find people that love and care about you. And that is so fucking important. I don’t stan them just for their internet personas, I Stan them for their bravery and unapologetic authenticity they have as humans.
(Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk)
