Pride Season is Coming!

Hello readers!

The past few month have been one filled with heartache, and disappointment throughout the country.

We have seen states step back 20+ years in our fight for equality.

As we get closer to June, and we hear people ask, “why do you need parades, festivals, and events?” It is important to remember that this is the time to educate, build bridges, and gain allies.

Pride month is filled with parades, celebrations, and festivals to commemorate the fight and actions taken by our queer foremothers and forefathers at the Stonewall Inn in New York in 1969.

Through civil discord and marching, members of our community stood up to the oppression being perpetrated and launch the gay civil rights movement that we are still fighting today. The pioneers of the early riots and subsequent marches have paved the way for us to continue our path to equality; however, we can not forget them.

The picture for this post is the original pride flag, which included two additional colors, and as you can see that the colors were representative of qualities or values that were important.

We cannot take advantage of progress, for in the past 6 or so years, we have seen that progress threatened. We are seeing more Anti-LGBTQ+Legislation. Unite, reach out to your local congressmen and congresswoman and together we can ensure safety and equality for ALL MEMBERS of our community

Much love and light to everyone! <3
