i solemnly believe pride is a protest to protect/save lgbtqia+ children and adults,to make it okay to be who we are,make it safe to express who we are,to be free from all the judgment and hate that we face for being who we are.🤍

Check in on last month's goal - drop me a note on what media you pirated?

Your goal for June: celebrate pride, and learn about the development of pride from the 60s to now. Celebrate in any way you can but take time this month to be proud of yourself, your community, and your history

I came out by getting kicked out of West Point for refusing to lie about who I am. I didn’t get a rainbow cupcake or a corporate tweet. I got the boot.

Still wouldn’t change a damn thing.

Be loud, be real, be safe. Watch each other’s backs. This month is about survival and celebration. Both matter.

If you’re still in the closet, you’re still part of this family. You’re not late—you’re alive. That’s enough.

So celebrate. March. Dance in the streets. Kiss your girl on the sidewalk. Wear glitter like armor.

But remember who built Pride. Remember why we fight.

Look after the kids. Protect the trans community. Bail each other out.

And don’t let a rainbow-colored ad convince you they’re on your side.

Pride isn’t a product. It’s a protest.

Stay loud. Stay dangerous. Stay queer.

Queer liberation isn’t about corporate floats and shaking hands with arms manufacturers, it is resistance against oppression wherever it can be found. Palestinian liberation is queer liberation.
