Quotable:

"I would probably say, you know what? It may get harder. It may get more frustrating, but you will be okay. You will find your crew. You will find your people. You will find your family. That doesn't mean that they'll be blood family. It just means that you will find your people and be patient with yourself, with your emotions, with your expectations on yourself. I can promise you two things. One, you will be okay, no matter how bad you think it's getting you will be okay. And two, you are worth love."

"I'm gay, and whether you like it or not, I'm still a man. I'm still worth love, and I'm still worth everything good that this life experience can offer me. And I'm still worth success. And I'm still worth having a family. I'm still worth being in love."
