Rejoice and love yourself today 'Cause baby, you were born this way.

Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy.

Some of us wear the mask prouder than others.

Acceptance, tolerance, bravery, compassion. These are the things my mom taught me!

Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put on some sunglasses because we were born this way.

My new year's resolution: Never be afraid to be kicked in the teeth. Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy.

For being different, it’s easy. But to be unique, it’s a complicated thing.

To everyone who says this is wrong to feel like this say, 'I was born this way baby.
