Reading through the senate hansard I see that Tasmanian Labor senator Josh Dolega gave his first speech to the chamber late yesterday:

It’s not lost upon me—the sense of responsibility of being Labor’s first openly gay senator for Tasmania. I hope me being here today can give hope to young queer people that you, too, can come to this great place. But, more importantly, I hope you know that you’re already seen, you’re understood and you are represented.

I acknowledge other LGBTQI+ MPs and senators and the contributions that they have made to progress for our community.
As a young person I experienced some tough times for being who I am. There were some dangerous times when I was faced with violence and hatred. There were times when I wondered if I’d ever find someone to love and to love me back. I don’t bring all this up as a sign of weakness but to give a sense of hope and as a shining light to young queer people. If you are going through a tough time, if you’re wondering if someone will love you, if you’re wondering if things will get better, I want you to know that, yes, you can find love and that you are loved and that things will be okay.

Find your safety net and latch on to what makes you happy.
