'It doesn’t matter your race or sexual orientation. Love is love.' 💕 Read JLo's full love letter to the LGBTQ community: summerofpride pridemonth
For Gay Pride Month, Billboard asked numerous pop culture luminaries to write 'love letters' to the LGBTQ community. Below, pop music icon Jennifer Lopez shares hers. When I was growing up in the Bronx, I always thought my aunt Myrza was the coolest. She lived in NYC and wanted to be an actress. I wanted to be just like her. What I didn’t realize was that she was struggling with being gay. At that time, families didn’t sit around a dinner table and talk about tolerance and acceptance.
Myzra isn’t with us anymore, but I like to think she is proudly looking down on me from above -- the way I always looked up to her.
