Humans Of New York Pic Inspires Huge Support For Young Gay


Mashable has the story:
Humans of New York photographer Brandon Stanton recently posted a heartbreaking image of a young boy with the caption, "I'm homosexual, and I'm afraid about what my future will be and that people won't like me."

Humans of New York is known for sharing poignant images with the stories of everyday New Yorkers, but this one in particular prompted an outpouring of support from followers.

Even 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton left a few inspirational words, writing, "Prediction from a grown-up: Your future is going to be amazing. You will surprise yourself with what you’re capable of and the incredible things you go on to do. Find the people who love and believe in you –- there will be lots of them."
In two days the post has been shared 54,000 times on Facebook and garnered 585,000 Likes.

Hit the link to read the most excellent comments of support to the young man.

And I seriously encourage you to follow Humans of New York on Facebook.
