"All those years in high school where I was sitting there being like, you know, 'Who understands me? And why can't I find them? Where are they?' They had been there the whole time waiting for me to get through high school and to graduate and to get up the courage to leave that awful phase behind. Everyone who has supported me, everyone who loves me for who I am, exactly the way I am, they had always been there. They weren't born the day I came out. And they weren't born even a month before I came out. They've been there with open arms just waiting for me to come alive and to realize my potential. And all the people who are going to be there for you on the other side, they're walking around wondering where you are now. And they're waiting excitedly with open arms."

That's so profound, that's so damn inspiring, that I can almost forgive AY for this:

"I think Dan and Terry are, like, I think they're close to my parents ages, so they'd probably be in their late forties."
