Thank you everyone for your love and support today ❤️ I feel so so lucky to have had a chance to share some of my story with so many people. If you didn’t get the chance, you can check out some clips of my speech below :)
The speech can also be viewed here:
I am feeling overwhelmed by the reaction to my words today (in the best way possible!) Thank you to all those who have expressed love and support. It means everything ❤️🌈
I am grateful to @byu_fhss for allowing me to share my authentic and vulnerable self to so many in our college.
During my time at BYU, I have slowly come out to my closest family members and friends. However, this is the first time I have publicly declared it. I felt it was important to share both for myself and for the LGBTQ+ community at BYU.
While I don’t speak for everyone—my own experience is all I can vouch for—I hope that people know that we ARE here at BYU, and we’re not going anywhere anytime soon.
I’m also especially grateful for the Poli Sci Dept @BYUPoliticalSci. I can’t even begin to name all the professors and faculty who have loved and supported me academically, mentally, and spiritually. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you—you know who you are ❤️
