Two incredible leaders left a great legacy!

Phots from the Internet.

 Millions of miserable people are merely attempting to achieve fame. During the 1980s, when I was growing up, these two men were already very successful across the nation. Many of us adore Michael Jackson and George Michael. I grew up seeing posters for George Michael from the television series Full House. He's always seemed so gorgeous to me. Yes, it seems like a lot of us harbored crushes on him.

Even though these two men achieved great success in life, their music left a lasting effect. While one emerged from his sexuality, the other remained there. Keeping something like that inside of you is not simple. I could see me holding onto anything like this. It depresses you into not being joyful and drives you insane. There must be a greater number of gay males in the music business who are afraid to come out.

The 1980s saw a severe HIV pandemic in New York and a lack of acceptance for the LGBT community. Being gay was viewed as a sin by many. Upon viewing George Michael's documentary on Hulu, I became aware that George had remained in the closet for an extended period of time because of his fear of his fans' opinions, which caused him to become miserable as a result of not being able to enjoy his sexual life and celebrity. Even after George Michael revealed his sexual orientation to his closest buddy, it wasn't enough for him.

Even though we now know that the LGBTQ community is not being embraced, society today is still much the same as it was before. How can we all contribute to improving the state of this world? What must we accomplish? What steps can we take to ensure that the next generation feels secure in America?

This world wouldn't be completely perfect if we all learned to be kind to one another, but it would be a good beginning for a future generation. I notice that many people are making an effort to leave a legacy for coming generations, and I am incredibly pleased with them for that. However, leaving a legacy indicates that you accomplished something significant that the people of America will acknowledge. Thus, don't be scared to make positive changes in the world. We all have a very important purpose in life, and we all have one life.

Regardless of whether you identify as straight or LGBTQ, I'll send you off with a big hug and kiss.
