the silence is killing me

Born and raised on the island of Guam
Living life and loving this city by the bay
The music I listen to determines the outlook of the rest of my day
Traveling around the world and exploring new places gives me a high like no other
Blood runs thick, my family is what fuels my drive for success and the future
The friends I have mean the world to me, and I couldn't imagine life without them

I will not vote for a candidate who thinks you can ‘pray away the gay,’ I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that he has more rights to my uterus than I do, I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that it’s okay to dump toxic waste in the ocean.

I’m afraid for our country that people like this (current Republican candidates) could even be thought of as the president. I live in a country where I believe all men are created equal, not just wealthy white guys.

I believe all men, all women, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic background, you deserve the same rights. If that’s not where our country is going, then I’ll leave. I don’t need to live here. I’m out! I’ll go to Canada, peace! See you later.

—Sophia Bush
