Someone once told Ross that his unapologetic attitude to living his most true life was the most inspiring thing they had ever seen and showed them that being young and queer and happy in yourself is possible. This year, he is spreading the message that you should never doubt who you should be; to put on that colourful t-shirt, cut your hair that crazy style, put on that lip gloss and be your most radiant self. Hold your head up high and know that you could also be that one person to inspire someone to do the same - they may not tell you, but it does not matter, because you are being who you are and living your truest life, will inspire others to do the same. Embrace and love yourself, and show that to others, no one will ever take that away from you!
