You are awesome!  Thanks so much for posting this.

I love your advice and your LGBTQ+ videos are some of my favourite because they offer fresh perspective from the dominant narrative around coming out. This video also particularly resonated with me because of what you said about coming out to yourself, and celebrating accepting yourself for who you are and wherever you are in your life. Thank you thank you thank you! Keep doing you! ❤️ from a fellow Canadian
