The next time you hear the word “gay” and think “glitter” or vice versa, remember that you saw this video.

We live in a society obsessed with attaining physical perfection. And there is something to be said for beauty; recognizing it is fine. But what we must always remember is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The next time you see a man staring into the eyes of his two-hundred-pound, flat-footed, short-haired fiancé, don’t mock. Don’t make fun. She is beautiful to him because one day, she is going to be the mother of his children, and she is the reason he can carry on every morning, even when there seems to be no reason to live. And when you see the one girl in a line of dancers auditioning in hand-me-down bright blue shoes from the 80’s, don’t jeer. Applaud her for her courage, and for her willingness to be an individual. Individuality is what makes us beautiful; nonconformity shows us who the true stars are. Beauty is only skin-deep; but the truly beautiful people are the ones who inspire us to change for the better as people, and the ones who make this world a better place for everyone to live.

This is how I see the world, and hopefully the eyes through which we will all see one day. For peace to come, we must learn to love the human race.

I suppose it’s about time I addressed you in more than quotes. :) Hello. My name will remain anonymous for this blog, so know that in advance. If you must call me something, you may address me as August Blue. I am a bisexual teenage male with a major preference for males who is just trying to get through life, as we all are. My family does not accept me at all, and a lot of the talk on my blog will be about equality and sexuality. However, you’ll also find a lot of life advice and inspirational quotes here. This will be a depository for my inner thoughts, for current events, and for anything I deem worthy of blogging. :) I’m a lot of fun, and I can almost guarantee you’ll want to keep up with me. ;)

So strap in, kids. You’re in for quite the ride.
