This quote by Harvey Fierstein isn’t just for the gays, but for anyone struggling with being themselves. But for the gays, The last few lines are my favorite:

Always remember: hater’s gonna hate, but for those people who do, there’s so many more that love you a thousand times over.
Go Get ‘Em Tiger.
p.s. You’re Awesome.
p.p.s. After Elton has a great roundup of quotes/gifs regarding gayness for this day.
