This experience coming from a childhood hearing the word gay meaningle — Dan Howell

"I’ve come out of the closet, now I just need the confidence to actually leave the house."

"Every single one of us needs to be there for each other, not just in the big profound ways but sometimes just the really small and important ways."

"I have a platform and a following of millions of people, many of whom I know have been through exactly what I have. And if I tell my story, as painful and flip floppy and flawed as it is, I know it will mean something to someone, as every time someone speaks openly about sexuality, it saves lives."

"We get dealt cards from the start, too. If you look at my life, I was born into this world as an able-bodied, white, cis man in Britain, which immediately gives me so much privilege in this current world and I am fully aware of how much harder making it to today could have been for me, which is why we all need to stand up for equality and social justice, even if it doesnt apply to us."

"I’m here, I’m queer, and don’t worry, I’m still full of existential fear."

"If a gay person dyes their hair, they are a visibly spiraling crisis twink. [...] That is a stereotype, and you know what, some stereotypes are true, and that is one of them."
