Being true to yourself starts with self-acceptance. Unfortunately, in a world with discrimination, homophobia, transphobia, bullying, and rejection, sometimes it’s brutal and terrifying to do so. That is why many people struggling with issues related to their sexuality or gender identity often keep quiet. The fear of society, negative opinions, ignorance, and prejudice become an emotional burden that often leads tomental health issues such as depression or self-harm. 

This is unacceptable, and OVC is here to support you all the way!
