Happy Pride Month to all of you wonderful LGBTQ, closeted, and questioning folks. Coming out, whether publicly or personally, to yourself is such a courageous thing. You inspire me every day. The LGBTQ community is a vast community of experiences, but one thing we’ve all known is the closest. Whether you had to grow up in it, currently need it to stay safe, or step in from time to time to make it through, I see you, and I know how difficult that can be.

I hope no matter where you are in your journey, you know the heart of Mary is with you. Even in the closet, I didn’t feel far from her; always there, united with me in suffering. With Mary, I look forward to the day, in the kingdom of Heaven, when we all will be free; free to be out, free to be seen, and free to be loved.
