Pride

“The cop hit me, and I hit him back. The cops got what they gave.”  

Minutes into the Facebook Live, we were taken by the (virtual) hand, and whisked away.

Because if you strip away the sparkles and the rainbows, the LGBTQ rights movement is about fighting, with everything you have in your body, for humanity. And right now Black humans need us to step up and speak out.

“From George Floyd, to Ahmaud Arbery, to Breonna Taylor, to Christian Cooper, to Nina Pop. The LGBTQ community is familiar with fighting against systems of power that are set up to serve the privileged few. And we are united to fight the systems that target our Black and brown siblings, today and always.”

Happy Pride socially awkward introverts!

I gave a little salute to our loud, proud and defiantly queer ancestors. It was their revolution, on these very streets half a century ago that made all this possible. 

“Melissa Etheridge is not only a musical legend, but also a LGBTQ icon.”

Weeee!
