The holidays can be a very difficult time for many #LGBTQ+ people, especially LGBTQ+ youth. Some youth have to live with and be surrounded by unsupportive family members in toxic environments. Shout out to Jordyn (they/he) for sharing their affirmations this holiday season.

Every youth deserves to see themselves in books. That’s why we at GLSEN are standing up against the censorship of books about #LGBTQ people and people of color in schools. All #LGBTQ youth deserve to witness and visualize their stories in books. Period. 📚 #BooksNotBans @glaad
