Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time
