On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey.
I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

Real quick just want to remind everyone that Graham Linehan is a deranged bigot
Graham Linehan ruined his own life by walking down a path of hatred but forgetting to first become a billionaire writing beloved children’s books and THEN walking down a path of hatred

My favourite thing about JK Rowling claiming she lived through poverty is the state provided her with a one-bedroom flat which she always refers to as “a glorified bedsit”. The “glorified” bit is: a separate bedroom and living room.

Self identifying as autistic is legitimate.
Denying this is violence and comes from a place of deep privilege.
