Until our differences and our cultures are celebrated not denied.
Until it's safe to come out at work.

Until we don't have to justify, explain and expose our private lives.
Until harassment at work stops.
Until our streets are safe for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people.

Until we can love and be loved, with joy and gay abandon.
