My father taught me many things here - he taught me in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

can we normalize the mindset of "i don't fully understand your identity, but i accept and support you"? i've definitely felt this way before and i wish more people could do so when they don't fully grasp a label. the examples i can think of off the top of my head are aplatonic and afamilial. i don't fully understand your identity but i'm absolutely down to learn! you've found a word and a label that describes your experiences & feelings, that's awesome and i've absolutely been there! you belong in the lgbtqia+ community just as much as anyone else here!!

you don't have to understand why some people don't feel platonic or familial love in society's "typical" way or "normal" level; you don't have to understand why some people have or desire multiple partners; you don't have to understand why someone's gender is fluid; you don't have to understand why some people don't feel sexual or romantic attraction, but some of them still desire those relationships, and others may hate the idea of it; but you can be open to learning, open to being educated, and accepting of the people who have found these wonderful words to describe them and validate them, the people who belong in this community just as much as anyone with a more generally understood label. you can normalize people's identities, and normalize the fact that you do not have to completely grasp all of those identities to support those people.
