Poet and writer Andrés Ordorica just shared this with us on his Instagram in support of Purple Friday:

“Here’s me, age six, back when being a published novelist (let alone an Observer 2024 Top Debut) and award-winning poet centring queer stories was an unimaginable dream. This #PurpleFriday I’m supporting @lgbtys and encouraging LGBTQ+ young people to see the future trailblazer in themselves too.”

Thanks Andrés for being a visible ally for LGBTQ+ young people 💜
