Lgbtqia Quote by Anna-Marie McLemore

“To the boys who get called girls, the girls who get called boys, and those who live outside these words. To those called names, and those searching for names of their own. To those who live on the edges, and in the spaces in between. I wish for you every light in the sky.” quote by Anna-Marie McLemore
