Text (in orange type): About Freedom This Holiday Season
Let the Fighting Stop and Let Freedom ring. Let there truly be peace on earth and good will towards men. Stop killing people, stop bullying people, stop beating people up, just stop. We love you let your wounds heal, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are here for you.
Stop fighting over diversity and different walks of life let freedom ring! It does not matter if you are a transgender gay lesbian, bisexual or queer you are a person who deserves respect and has the right to love and be loved! God bless you all have a wonderful holiday and a happy joyous new year!

A Shadow Land
Among the brusque
of shadows
are ones with enough force
to strangle
a million weak.
Forceful, vengeful
they move here & there,
waltz in the wind.
As freedom
grows in our soil
roots are pushed aside.
Fresh, from a rebel wind
we sway from the hand
of the shadow.
We dance in the sun
temporary and fleeting
only to return
until we break through
the undergrowth
of blackness and sin.
We must consume resilience,
when we are bursting
then we can deny
the shadow.

On one side, the artist has very lightly shaded the background with red and purple crayons, so lightly it seems grey-ish. in various places on top of that, it says: “Be different” “Be Change” “Be Peace” “Be Love” “Be Strength” “Be Community” “Be Light” and “Be Open.” On the other side, the background is plain white. It says, “Be You!!!” This is underlined by six lines in various colors that get smaller as they go down, and below them is a pink heart.]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnq3qhzhcv1qmohxko1_1280.jpg)

![[A handmade card decorated with markers and crayons. The writing is in different colors and different orientations, all over the card. It says, “Love can come in so many different ways. Community can be formed in a variety of ways. Connection can go any direction. And you are your agent to define these terms.” ”Community can mean just you & me or you, me & historical figures in books.” ”Let’s learn to love ourselves unconditionally, because we’re Queens, Kings, and everything between.” The card is decorated with star- and flower-shaped sequins and drawings of hearts, stars, plants, and a wheelchair user/accessibility symbol.]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnq3cgu9J01qmohxko1_1280.jpg)
