Okay OMG I’m so new to this whole tumblr thing?? anyway here’s Dan in his iconic sweatshirt dress. this was my last inktober entry and I’ve had so much fun drawing these dorks! if you like my pics then I’d love to see you on my Instagram page: it’s @ anfchr, like here :)

I am so proud of Dan, i have grown such an appreciation for him as I would think it would be impossible to come out to millions of people online. Dan has honestly made my life so much better and he gave me the courage to open up about my mental illnesses to my parents. I don’t know what I would have done if dan hadn’t had the courage to speak out. I want school children to be taught about different sexuality’s as there are so many misconceptions about sexuality in senior school. I think its so important in our society to realise that being straight isn’t normal anymore. I didn’t even know what the word gay meant until i was in year 7. It needs to change! -Sophie

As someone who has struggled immensely and in similar ways as Dan, I’ve never felt more valued in my life after watching his video yesterday. I was kicked out for a while by my mom after being decidedly Not Straight, beat up by kids at school for it, ended up with an eating disorder, got sexually assisted, tried to commit suicide a couple of times, and because my family feels so strongly about keeping up appearances, I couldn’t even talk to anyone about it and had to pretend like my life was good.

To see someone I so admire and adulate, come out and use a label that is not definitive is something that I didn’t know I desperately needed. I struggled with a label for years, between receiving backlash for using bisexual, feeling usure of lesbian, and being force fed that gay is a “bad word” I wasn’t sure where I fit in. But Daniel Howell, you have given me the opportunity to flower into a being that is my own. I can live and breathe and feel at peace with existing because I know who I am.
