Powerful Pride: 13 Most Inspiring Quotes from LGBT Leaders

September 3, 2019 By Cade Hildreth Leave a Comment

It’s only been 50 years since the Stonewall Riots, which is considered one of the most important events leading to the gay liberation movement. Scores of people in the LGBT community and their advocates fought back at a police raid of the Stonewall Inn.

Back then, the Stonewall Inn was one of the rare establishments that accepted marginalized people of the LGBT community. While the world is becoming a more inclusive place, there’s still a long way to go for complete freedom from discrimination.

From sports players and politicians, to poets and playwrights, these activists continue to push for equality and understanding. Read on for the 13 inspiring quotes from LGBT leaders.

1. George Takei – Actor, Director, and Activist

”We should indeed keep calm in the face of difference, and live our lives in a state of inclusion and wonder at the diversity of humanity.”

2. Tammy Baldwin – First Openly Gay U.S. Senator

“There will not be a magic day when we wake up and it’s now okay to express ourselves publicly. We make that day by doing things publicly until it’s simply the way things are.”

3. Leslie Feinberg – Author and Transgender Activist

“Like racism and all forms of prejudice, bigotry against transgender people is a deadly carcinogen. We are pitted against each other in order to keep up from seeing each other as allies. Genuine bonds of solidarity can be forged between people who respect each other’s differences and are willing to fight their enemy together. We are the class that does the work of the world, and can revolutionize it. We can win true liberation.”

4. Alice Walker – Novelist, Essayist, and Activist

“Please remember, especially in these times of group-think and the right-on chorus, that no person is your friend (or kin) who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow and be perceived as fully blossomed as you were intended.”

5. Charles M. Blow – Journalist, Columnist, and Commentator

”Part of what my discomfort was, in the beginning, is that I wanted something that didn’t exist. I wanted something that was so singular, a label that was so singular for me. I was so special – I was so different from everybody else I was meeting. And I wanted a different label. And I had to say, ‘Charles, snap out of that. What are you talking about?’ All identity labels are umbrella terms to some degree, but this term bisexual is not only serviceable but it is sufficient. And yes, it brings together a bunch of people who are maybe shades different from one another. And maybe that’s the beauty of labels: that they force you to be with other people and see the difference.”

6. Bob Paris – Author, Bodybuilder, Former Mr. Universe, and Activist

“Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges.”

7. Kristen Beck – First Openly Transgender Former U.S. Navy Seal

“I don’t want you to love me. I don’t want you to like me. But I don’t want you to beat me up and kill me. You don’t have to like me, I don’t care. But please don’t kill me.”

8. Portia DeRossi – Actor, Model, and Philanthropist

“I’m living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay.”

9. Chaz Bono – Writer, Musician, and Actor

“I’ve been embraced by a new community. That’s what happens when you’re finally honest about who you are; you find others like you.”

10. Janet Mock – Author, TV Host, Transgender Rights Activist

“I believe that telling our stories, first to ourselves and then to one another and the world, is a revolutionary act.”

11. Ellen Degeneres – Comedian, TV Host

”I learned compassion from being discriminated against. Everything bad that’s ever happened to me has taught me compassion.”

12. Simon Nkoli – Equal Rights Activist

”I am black and I am gay. I cannot separate the two parts of me into secondary or primary struggles. In South Africa, I am oppressed because I am a black man and I am oppressed because I am a gay man. So, when I fight for my freedom I must fight against both oppressions… All those who believe in a democratic South Africa must fight against all oppression, all intolerance, all injustice.”

13. Rupaul – Drag queen, Actor, Songwriter, and TV Personality

“When you become the image of your own imagination, it’s the most powerful thing you could ever do.”

LGBT Leaders: Forces of Change

The fight for positive change and equality is far from over. These quotes from LGBT leaders address many aspects of the LGBT experience: from the strength needed to survive in a hostile world to the power of community.

This list of quotes isn’t exhaustive. There are many other LGBT leaders in the community that also deserve recognition.

Simply the act of coming out to friends and family is enormous. Hopefully these quotes bolster your strength and remind you that hundreds, thousands, and maybe millions of people have your back. I certainly do.

⚠️ One of the most important TRUTHS I’ve eve ⚠️ One of the most important TRUTHS I’ve ever learned was this:When you give yourself permission to be yourself, you give other people permission to be themselves.If someone is upset by you being fully yourself — whether that is gay or straight or gender expansive or in a relationship with someone your family disapproves of or anything else — it is sad for them, because what they are saying to you is, “I don’t believe I have permission to do what you are capable of doing.”When you realize this, the only reaction you can have toward them is compassion.Share a “💯” below if you’ve experienced this (or needed this reminder today)...👇🏽

⚠️ UPDATE: Arkansas' Republican governor on Mo ⚠️ UPDATE: Arkansas' Republican governor on Monday vetoed an anti-transgender health care bill that would've prohibited physicians in the state from providing gender-affirming "procedures" for trans people under age 18.Gov. Asa Hutchinson told reporters that he killed HB 1570 because the bill "would be and is a vast government overreach" and because it would've created "new standards of legislative interference with physicians and parents as they deal with some of the most complex and sensitive matters involving young people."Had the governor approved it, Arkansas would've been the first state in the nation to outlaw gender-affirming health care for trans youth, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.The governor also predicted during his remarks that the state's Republican-controlled General Assembly "will likely override" his veto, noting it takes only a simple majority to do so.Leave a “👏🏽” to show support for Governor Hutchinson or share your thoughts below. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Source: CNN

✅ #WorkoutTip: If you’re looking to get a more ✅ #WorkoutTip: If you’re looking to get a more developed and defined chest, a quick bar change from traditional barbell to Swiss Bar can help you hit new muscle fibers and supercharge your gains! 🔥💪🏽Why is this? 🤔1) As you can see, it switches your grip from horizontal (your grip on a straight barbell) to parallel. This rotates your entire arm, including the position of your elbow, shoulder, and all of the attached muscle groups.2) It lets you choose from a wide variety of widths. In this example, I choose the second from the middle grip, but you can work from extremely narrow to really wide.3) The balance/loading of the Swiss Bar feels extremely different than a straight barbell, so your accessory muscles get recruited to work extra hard throughout the path of the lift.Of course, if you add a pause at the bottom of the lift as the Swiss bar touches your chest, it can also increase the difficulty of the lift and introduce a new stimulus.Have you tried a Swiss Bar before? Let me know below... 👇🏽

Looking to add lean muscle mass while dropping bod Looking to add lean muscle mass while dropping body fat? 💪🏽🔥If so, you’re simply not going to beat the BIG compound lifts like the deadlift. 🔥🔥But, since the traditional deadlift puts a fair amount of strain on your lower and middle back, what should you do if you’re training multiple times per week? 🤔The answer? 👀1. Mix Up the Stimulus — The Hex Deadlift shown here is one of my favorite options, because it allows a more upright torso. This both lets you lift more weight and displaces some of the load across your hips and lower body.However, if you can’t access a Hex Deadlift bar at your gym, then you can use a normal barbell to do a...... Sumo Deadlift (wider stance)
... Deficit Deadlift (deeper range of motion)
... Or other variation of your choosing2. Vary Your Rep Range - In this video, I demo a higher rep range of 20 reps. In general, higher reps are associated with greater hypertrophy (muscle size growth).Higher reps will humble you because you’ll have to use less weight, but the muscle gains you experience will make it worth it!3. Amp Up Recovery - The two most powerful recovery tools you have at your disposal are food and sleep. So, how to best use them to your advantage?Consume whey protein and rapidly digestible carbs immediately post workout—and if you went heavy in your workout, then add a casein protein shake before bed too.Then, eat a full meal within approximately an hour of finishing your workout. Focus on consuming protein and carbs, while going lighter on fat.For sleep, nighttime is your anabolic period (i.e., when natural muscle recovery and growth occurs).So, get to bed either at or before your usual bedtime, keep the room ultra dark, and keep it cold enough that you need to be under the covers or you’ll end up shivering.I wear an @ouraring sleep ring and can confirm from personal experience that timing, temp, and darkness all have a huge effect on your sleep quality!Which tip are you going to try first? Let me know below... 👇🏽

To all my trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive s To all my trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive siblings:💙 You are valid.
🤍 You are worthy.
💗 You are loved.Thank you for becoming who you were born to be, because you inspires others to be their true selves too.Always remember: Courage is contagious.Happy #TransDayOfVisibility—
From @qchristianorg:Being visible is important for the movement. For the individual, being visible can mean being one of the 20% of trans people who experience homelessness or the 25% who have been fired because of their gender identity.It could make you one of the 44 trans people who were killed last year for being trans.Being visible means risking rejection and abandonment, facing erasure in the name of religious freedom, being ridiculed, mocked, bullied and misgendered intentionally.It can mean being one of the 41% who, because of all this, attempt to end their lives.
