Rainbow Roots is a grassroots LGBTQ+ group in northern Maine focused on connection, community care, and collective resilience—especially for those of us who are Gen X and older, trans, neurodivergent, disabled, or otherwise often overlooked.

If you are feeling invisible, try a small act of defiance. Wear that loud shirt. Listen to that forbidden music. Remember you take up space.

Queer joy is an inheritance passed down by those who survived before us. Honor that legacy by allowing yourself to be happy today.

You are not responsible for educating every single person who asks you a personal question. Prioritize your peace.

Not all queer relationships look the same. Polyamory, non-monogamy, and platonic life partnerships are all valid expressions of love and connection.

Your healing does not have to be linear. Sometimes you spiral up. Sometimes you stop to rest. All of it is part of the journey.

Queer solidarity means supporting trans youth, disabled queer folks, and those whose experiences are different from your own. We rise together, or not at all.

A reminder that your internal experience is the most valid metric of your identity. You know yourself better than anyone else does.

When you feel overwhelmed, break the task down into three tiny, manageable steps. Progress is built on small victories.

You are not required to be productive to be worthy of love. Your worth is inherent.

The most radical thing you can do for your community is show up consistently. Grand gestures are fine, but slow, steady care is revolutionary.

It is Black History Month. Remember that Black queer leaders, artists, and activists have always been at the heart of liberation movements. Acknowledge the roots.

Every day is a chance to start an identity or passion that you thought you missed. You are not late to your own life.

January ends, but you do not have to sprint into February. Carry forward only what sustains you. Leave the rest in the cold.

If you feel unseen, know this. Someone else is surviving because people like you exist.

Education moment. Being inclusive means listening when you get corrected, not defending your intent.

You do not have to justify your softness. Gentleness is not weakness.

Visibility matters, but so does mutual aid, quiet care, and showing up when no one is watching.

You are allowed to outgrow people, labels, and expectations. Growth does not require permission.

Martin Luther King Jr. reminded us that injustice anywhere threatens justice everywhere. Queer liberation is inseparable from racial justice. Solidarity is not optional.
