Hey John,
From the earth-shattering number of anti-trans bills introduced to the looming threat of an impending Supreme Court ruling that may dismantle the right to choose and the right to privacy, it's been a tough year for LGBTQ people.
But Pride Month is about fighting back - we shouldn't ever forget the first Pride was a riot. Trans women of color, butch lesbians and queer people of all backgrounds stood up against harassment and state violence to make themselves heard.
We're still fighting to ensure the rights they so tirelessly advocated for. And despite the bad headlines and continued attacks from the homophobes and transphobes, we're still marching forward.
So we want to know: how are YOU celebrating Pride Month this year?
Thanks to this community, Ty Penserga made history as the first out LGBTQ Mayor of Boynton Beach, Florida. Alex Ruggiers clinched his seat on the Norman Public School Board in Oklahoma, ensuring LGBTQ kids will be protected. And LGBTQ candidates are winning their primaries in states like Alabama, Texas, Nebraska and so many more.
Despite the bigots, we have a lot to be proud of! So take a minute and let us know - how are you celebrating and showing your Pride this month?
We have a lot of work left to do. But we can't do it without you. Thank you for standing with us, and Happy Pride!
