Love Your Labels is a movement that is meant to celebrate diversity, dismantle activities that suppress equality for all, and inspire young people and others to live as their truest selves. The group invites everyone to share their story and help build a community that “embraces individuality through the labels we choose for ourselves and to stand together to affect change.”
You are invited to share your story on their website, loveyourlabels.me and learn more about this organization by liking their page on Facebook and follow them on Instagram at @Love.Your.Labels.
