Hillary Clinton took to Facebook on Friday to offer words of encouragement and advice to a gay teen.

The leading Democratic presidential candidate posted remarks in response to a photo posted by the page of Humans of New York, a project run by photographer Brandon Stanton.

“I’m a homosexual and I’m afraid about what my future will be and that people won’t like me,” Stanton quotes the young New Yorker captured in his photograph as saying.

An hour after Stanton posted the photo, the official Clinton campaign account left the following comment: “Prediction from a grown-up: Your future is going to be amazing. You will surprise yourself with what you’re capable of and the incredible things you go on to do. Find the people who love and believe in you – there will be lots of them.”

Clinton signed the comment with “-H”, which is used on social media to indicate that she is the author the post.

Kristina Schake, deputy communications director for the Hillary for America campaign, then shared the comment on Twitter:

1. Unfortunately...

Their future might not be so amazing if they're forced to mortgage away their futures on obscene student loans and an economy that hasn't been exactly kind to the younger generations. I hope Hillary fights not only for the civil rights of these teens, but their economic well-being as well.
