We are so blessed to live in a world where the magical and transcendent words of Andrea Gibson, from Calais, touched and lifted so many in community. 💔.
Andrea Gibson's words give visibility to different perspectives, show us the complexity of queer love and identity, platform the issues of our time, and teach us to see the beauty in life. Their life was poetry.
