If you could tell someone 100 years from now something about your life today, what would you tell them? What do you want for your own future, and for the LGBTQ+ community in Scotland as a whole? We invited young people from schools in Glasgow to write letters to their future selves and share their hopes and dreams for tomorrow. Here you will also find an interview from two of our youngest participants (just 13 years old!) These submissions reflect that no matter our gender or sexuality, we all hope for the same things. For love, for safety, for a good career, for families, and for adventure.
