God this touched me. I know you are talking about LGBTQ issues, but also, it's so damn universal, this desire to just be ourselves.

Hi Becky….. I hope that one day it becomes reality for you guys to give each other a big kiss in public…. In my country ( the Netherlands ) it is somewhat accepted…..

Thank you for sharing your story…… love will always surround you
