#gifticality

Inspired by Rhett and Link’s continuous generosity, I made a donation to my local food bank today. If you’d like to join me in giving, you can find a list of food banks here:

I HAVE BEEN WANTING THIS AS A GIFTICALITY FOR FOREVER. GUYS! GUYS! THEY PICKED AN LGBTQ CHARITY FOR GAY PRIDE MONTH.

I’M GUNNA DIE I’M SO HAPPY! Also, I’m so proud to be a fan of @rhettandlink right now

So, I intended to post this to @afangirlsplaylist ‘s ask, but as always, I was unable to keep my text short and simple. I’ll try to edit myself enough to fit in an ask for the purpose of this, but I wanted to post the whole text first. Also, I want to say, I love you beautiful people more than I can express in words. You brought me to life after a long time of darkness, and there is nothing that will ever take that away from me. <3 But here goes:

I’m in the fortunate position of living in a country where it’s mostly safe to be a part of the LGBTTQQIAAP community. At least, you don’t need to be afraid of getting arrested for loving someone or expressing yourself. Even here, where things are seemingly better than in a lot of other countries of this world, being different is hard.

On some level, I’ve always known I’m different, but it wasn’t until I became a part of the mythical fandom that I found the courage to admit myself that it was ok to be bisexual. I live in a small rural community, and people are not always as openminded as you’d like in a place like this. For an introverted, awkward girl like me, finding support or other LGBT+ people to talk to, seemed difficult and even dangerous - I grew up in a time when internet meant something from another galaxy - I was in my 20s when FB became a thing...

Finding other people who are different, connecting with them – even if only online – and getting the support of a community helped me to finally accept myself for who I am. Accepting this one part of myself has helped me become a more whole person, and for the first time in my life I feel complete. Suppressing a part of my identity made me ill and insecure, and now that I accept myself, I’m on a way to recovery. Accepting myself has allowed me to find the hope I thought I had lost for good. I’ve learned to love myself, and hopefully, one day, I can openly fall in love with someone regardless of their gender. I never felt it was possible for me, until now. For that, I’m forever grateful to Rhett and Link – without them, I’d never found all these amazing, beautiful people, who are not only mythical beasts, but also members of the LGBTTQQIAAP community.

Being young or a teenager in this mess of a world is hard enough as it is, and it seems so unfair that there are kids who are not accepted for who they are. It is so unfair that some of us need to grow up thinking there is something wrong with them, when they are perfect just the way they are.

The Trevor Project, an LBGTQ focused charity, is the charity of choice for Gifticality this month. As you know this is Rhett and Link / Mythical Entertainment’s first major public expression of support for the community - so you can expect it is going to come with a degree of hate and backlash.It is also understandably going to touch and hit home with a lot of us. 

So to offset the inevitable controversy it would be great to hear your stories. Stories of your journey and experiences, stories about what this means to you or just a general thank you for this choice of charity. 

Send your message as an ask to this blog (anonymous or not) today (June 10th). After that, they will be collected and placed in a master post to be sent to Rhett and Link. 

Please note that any message considered hateful or derogatory will be deleted immediately. In respect to Rhett, Link and their crew it would also be best to avoid mention of shipping and shipping topics in your messages. 

Thanks, guys!

I got to see our boys repping the Trevor Project with my own eyes and ears. (Unless I blanked and this isn’t the first time it has landed on it sans guests?)

Either way....

Exactly what I think anytime someone sees Rhett stop the wheel at gifticality and others say "they do it for tax breaks 🙄😒"
