How many closeted, confused and struggling girls had been saved by this line? This scene?

Today, Naya Rivera’s body had been found on Lake Piru. Ten years ago, I was a senior struggling with my sexuality when I came across Glee. Santana Lopez was the first lesbian and poc woman I have seen on TV. Her struggles and growth on the show gave me the strength and knowledge that it’s okay, it’s okay to feel scared but ultimately— it’s okay to be yourself.

I know Naya Rivera is not defined by her portrayal in Glee but that is her LEGACY. A character she had helped come to life to anchor LGBTQ+ teens back then. This is a heartache that I will probably never get over, you took a piece of my heart with you, Naya.

I love you so much and thank you for showering this world with your sunshine for thirty three years.

I’m gonna miss you for the rest of my life.

Rest easy, beautiful.

there’s something so strange about grieving for someone you don’t even know. like, i’ve lost family members and close friends before, and i feel like my grief was allowed then because i knew them. i don’t know naya, i’ve never met naya. she’s not family, she’s not a friend, i literally have never spoken to her in my life. but i feel so, so sad and it’s making me feel selfish and i’m not sure how to process that. it just feels selfish to be so affected right now. idk what i’m really saying or what to do, idk what to do with these feelings. i just went for a walk but it didn’t help, i was just getting more and more upset and the more upset i got, the angrier i am with myself because this isn’t about me and it just feels so selfish to be so sad. i appreciate the texts/messages so much, but again it’s not about me and i don’t really know how to respond because of that. idk it’s just such a weird loss. i can’t even imagine how her family are feeling right now, please send all of your love and prayers to them

hey y’all. i know i haven’t posted in long time but after i read the news about naya rivera, i just had to come here and write something because this is the only space with people who just get it. i watched the news everyday since she disappeared, hoping that everything would somehow turn out fine. when it was confirmed that she was gone, i cried. really hard. and i’m not even fully sure why because it’s not like i knew her personally. but santana was the first lesbian character i ever saw on tv. the first edit i made ever on tumblr was of brittana. i was so obsessed with her character and her relationship, i watched her scenes over and over, i listened to the songs where she sang with female pronouns (!!) on repeat because for the first time in my struggle to understand my sexuality i felt visible. my confusing feelings were validated, i saw that it was okay to feel how i felt.

the process of coming out, especially to just yourself first, is so isolating and scary and painful. but santana’s character made me feel less alone and less afraid. because somehow i felt that since she was gonna be okay, i was gonna be okay too.

i remember vividly watching her coming out scene and thinking to myself if santana can come out, so can i. and i did when i was 16 to my two close friends. she gave me the strength to do that.

naya passing away feels like part of that strength is gone now too. i suddenly feel the fear and pain of my closeted self. i don’t know how it makes sense. but she was a rock i needed when i was coming out, i could not imagine being able to do it without her. i feel like i am partially grieving for my younger self, who depended on her so much.

so thank you naya for giving me and so many other queer girls the hope & strength to come out and become the best versions of ourselves. you are amazing, i love you, and i am eternally grateful for you. rest in peace ❤️

we could’ve already had a lesbian Love Simon 4 years ago with Faking It but those show runners were COWARDS who felt the need to shove Liam fucking Booker down our throats
