Lately Iāve been experiencing something totally new.
For the past 10 years I have changed my Facebook profile background for pride month. And this month I started to do thatā¦and I hesitated.
I honestly cannot say why. But I almost feel like me, as a cis gender straight lady, posting a rainbow background for pride month isā¦intrusive? Overstepping? Iām not sure how to word it tbh.
Every year that Iāve gone to pride , Iāve been invited by a large group of queer identifying people.
Iāve asked a few of my gay/lesbian/nb friends, and they all have said that Iām a solid ally and am INVITED INTO the queer space so I should come (yes I know the a doesnāt stand for ally, it stands for ace and thatās šš»šš»šš»).
But I just canāt shake the feeling that by posting a rainbow and going to pride that Iām intruding on a space thatās NOT meant for me???
I will say that pretty much nothing is going to keep me from pride this year because my bff since I was in the sixth grade FINALLY came out to her entire family and is getting married this summer (!!!!!!!) and this will be her first pride as a married woman. Youād literally have to jail me from being at pride with her this year.
But I do feel weird about it. And I never have before.
Lol bb you were just a lil gay.
