🏳️🌈 Happy LGBTQ+ Pride Month!
1. It’s a protest and a party, but mostly a protest. Equality and equity are still far from achieved worldwide.
“That rainbow flag waves in defiance here more often than joy.” —LaDonna Witmer
2. March with a tribe stronger than the corporation that pays your bills. If you don’t have one, this is a great month to connect with like-minded queers on some interest or cause. Your employer does not need your help promoting its brand during a protest. Wear a different shirt.
If you are cisgender, the responsibility is on you to fight for trans, nonbinary, intersex folks.
If you are straight, the responsibility is on you to fight for gay, lesbian, bi, pan, a,aro folks.
Those in positions of privilege & power are the ones most responsible for change.
3. Be visible for the people who don’t yet feel comfortable being their authentic selves publicly.
If you aren’t ready, it’s ok. We’re still here supporting and fighting for you.
