Favourite thing about being part of the LGBTQIA+ - 2 things - open mindedness and respect of different people's choices and ways of being.

Connecting with others who identify as part of LGBTQIA+ communities and mutual acceptance, finding others of similar persuasion and knowing I'm not alone in being outside mainstream stereotypes, and the parties (of course the parties)!!!  These things bring me joy and resilience.  With online being such a big part of the world these days (it wasn't until I was in my early 30's) it's so much easier to 'find your tribe' and often these connections then spill over into offline life.  I know my adult child has found international and local support as they've gone through their transition and this has literally helped them stay alive and be brave enough to be living their authentic self at last.  And amazing support in non-binary parenting too.  This brings me great joy.
