You Be You



She Could Like Him
She Could Like Her
He Could Like Him
He Could Like Her
They Could Like Them
You Like What You Like
Their Lifestyle is Their Own
He Could be a Her
She Could be a Him
They Could Be a Them
You Are You
Live Your Own Life.
Be Yourself and Treat Everyone With Respect
Isn’t That What You Expect?
It doesn’t matter if you’re Gay, Bi, Lesbian, Straight, Pan, Trans, Black, White, Latino, Native, or whatever you might identify as. We are all Human, We all deserve respect, we all deserve to be heard. We are all our own individuals but we can come together to form one body or group.
