I want to slash I AM about the positive. I love highlighting all the good people out there who are loving and supporting gay people for who they are, that’s why I made Be Free :) Dm/follow me on instagram: @brianterada Tweet me: @brianterada Stream my two singles: “I Don’t Need That Shit” and “How Fake” available everywhere, and the next single is coming June 10 NEW BE FREE PRIDE GEAR available at befreestories.com Follow: @befreestories --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brian-terada/support

Or it has got to get better. Not for me, but for the poor kids still growing up believing their dirty and don’t deserve love because they’re gay. I think I specifically get passionate about this during pride season.

Like and SUBSCRIBE for more entries from my journal uploaded every weekday at 6AM :) Support the production of Brian’s Journal here Yo, this is a tough topic for me. I do get pretty heated in this entry, but I just have so much pent up frustration around the fact that so many people are still okay with my rights as a human being diminished. It’s not okay. Churches/organizations that oppress the LGBTQ+ community should be clear about where they stand, and if you are an ally with the LGBTQ+ community, you should not follow their teachings any more than you would follow the teachings of a racist pastor- even if you agreed about everything they said except for their stance on race.

Support the production of Brian’s Journal here Kinda random, but I had to talk about Trump taking this drug. Lol. What a joke. Also, and more importantly, I’ve been meaning to talk about my GOALS, clearly defining them (SMART) and putting them somewhere where I can see them every day. So we dove into that!

Honestly, felt pretty crappy today. Which was weird because we had a great Be Free Stories Night last night. I think I was a little drained. My roomie owin came in and helped me remember that destructive behaviors are so tempting when we feel depressed, but doing something constructive (even though its hard to get the momentum) will usually make us feel a lot better. Oh and I sang a little of my new single :) Dm/follow me on instagram: @brianterada Tweet me: @brianterada Follow owin: @owinpierson Stream my two singles: “I Don’t Need That Shit” and “How Fake” available everywhere, and the next single is coming June 10 NEW BE FREE PRIDE GEAR available at befreestories.com Follow: @befreestories --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brian-terada/support

For more entries from my journal uploaded every weekday at 6AM :)  There’s so much awesome sh*t we can be doing everyday, howcome it’s hard to find the motivation to do it sometimes?? I called up one of my best friends and one of the most talented and creative people I know, Sami Lane, for some inspo.  Needless to say, she delivered. And I hope you can benefit from it too!   Dm/follow me on instagram: @brianterada Tweet me: @brianterada Follow sami: @samilaneco  Stream my two singles: “I Don’t Need That Shit” and “How Fake” available everywhere, and the next single is coming June 10  NEW BE FREE PRIDE GEAR available at befreestories.com Follow: @befreestories --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brian-terada/support
