"Just because you are out doesn't make you the poster boy for the gay community"
- Jai Rodriguez
About this Quote
In this quote, Jai Rodriguez is reminding us that belonging to the LGBTQ+ neighborhood does not instantly make somebody a representative or agent for the whole community. Even if someone is open about their sexuality or gender identity does not suggest they speak for everyone else who identifies likewise. Each private within the neighborhood has their own distinct experiences and point of views, and it is necessary to acknowledge and respect that. Being out and happy is an individual option, and it must not be assumed that someone is automatically a role model or representative for the entire community. We need to commemorate and uplift all voices within the LGBTQ+ neighborhood, not just one person's.
