Description
I made an “L” for Leelah at her vigil in London today.
It was said at the vigil that gay and trans conversion “therapists” are “fradulent, negligent and incompetent”. I completely agree. Such “therapies” are dangerous and should labelled as so and banned!!!
We must make sure Leelah’s death doesn’t go in vain. We must work together to end conversion “therapies” (please sign the petition linked below), and ensure that gender (and its full spectrum) is taught properly in schools.
What affects me most about Leelah’s death is that she felt unloved. Her parents failed her. They neglected her. That hurts to even think about. I want to tell you all that you deserve love no matter what. We are all perfect as we are. I love you all. We are a family. A Tumblr family. Family isn’t just blood. Family is also friends. We are all friends and I am here for you.
In Leelah’s memory, we fight on for what we deserve. Equality. Acceptance. Love.
Rest In Power Leelah! - Ivan x
