Description
LGBT youth worldwide are bullied and harassed because of their sexual orientation, every single day.
I, along with many other people, don't believe that this is right.
When will this all end?

So, after watching the music video for "Make It Stop (September's Children)" by Rise Against, (for anyone who doesn't know, 'Septembers Children' in the title of the song is a reference to several LGBT youth that committed suicide in September 2010 after being targeted by anti-LGBT peers), I had the urge to do something to spread the message about hate crimes toward LGBT youth, and make people more aware of what is happening in our world, so this is what I came up with.
The idea of the text is from Rise Against.
If you or someone you know is being bullied because of sexual orientation, I suggest you visit Itgetsbetter.org
It's a wonderful site that, in my opinion, is very uplifting.

Whoa, thank you for all of you who voted for this piece in World-GSA's Pride contest! This won 1st place, and it means so much to me that others can appreciate and identify with my artwork.

Hey hon, not sure if you're still active or not since this post is pretty old, but just wanted to let you know that the comment before me is just a troll ( they got me too, but really terribly orz ). I think this is a really moving piece, and I love that you incorporated multiple pride flags with nail polish!
