#RiseAgainstBullying

I started out by being tremendously #bullied by others for being #2SLGBTQ+. I survived the taunts, beatings and name calling for years.. I couldn't even walk to the store or around town without being chased or afraid of people who absolutely disliked me because I was different. By using my voice to speak up for those that are bullied or voiceless. I'll never change who I am for this world even if this means taking all the hits online or in person with hateful pages and people who enjoy spreading hate.. I've been a target of hate and threats these past few months, people are posting about me in such a negative light because I'm a drag artist that loves to perform for LOVE and using inspiring lyrics to help others to keep holding on. I have cried, I have felt more nervous out in public and feeling so unsafe. I watch my surroundings more often because of the trauma I have to keep enduring. But I just wanted to say one day there will be JUSTICE for all those who are on the front lines fighting for equality, respect, kindness and making our communities safe again. 🏳️‍🌈 A huge thank you to anyone who read this and for being so supporting of what I've done and keep on doing because without your love, my boat would have sank already. 💔 – at Fort Erie, Ontario

@CHCHTV/@MattIngramNEWS spoke with me today and many students about the #homophobic vandalism at the front doors of their local high-school in #PortColborne. So proud of all of the students for speaking out and sharing your stories. You're making a difference! – at Port Colborne, Ontario

Somebody vandalized #PortColborne high school front doors. With some quite hateful wording used. No student should have to read this while walking into the doors of their school. How are our kids supposed to feel safe at school with this kind of ignorance and hate? 🚫 Zero tolerance for intolerance. – at Port Colborne, Ontario

If I reach 1000 retweets. I'll paint my entire rock garden rainbow 🏳️‍🌈 in celebration of #Pride2023. – at Port Colborne, Ontario

Do YOU have a story to share that would help other #LGBTQ2+ individuals? Have YOU ever thought you had a drag persona inside just struggling to get out? We are looking for one lucky individual to be part of the #BellFibe TV series, #DragThemUp. We are looking for someone that had a story that will inspire others. The lucky individual will be interviewed for the #TV series, made over into their fabulous drag persona and perform a number at the May 6th show!
