JUNE IS LGBTQ PRIDE MONTH.
Darlings I only realized that June was here this morning. Somehow I missed the last couple of weeks of May, don't ask where they went but presto it's June. However I won't mourn the loss of May , but instead celebrate the arrival of June. Since June is the month that has the beginning of Summer, It's time to get ready for the beach , bbq's , fairs, picnic's and of course LGBTQ Pride.
When I was younger we called it Gay Pride , but now we have an alphabet soup of Pride. In fact I don't blame you if you're not up on all the letters but let's give it our best shot . Certainly the L is for lesbian and the G is for Gay. Next the B is for bisexual and the T is for transsexual . Then we come to the Q which is for queer. Before we had no Q, but now it's about reclaiming a negative word . Whatever we call it it's Pride month.
LGBTQ PRIDE BUT ....
I woke this morning and turned on the T.V. like I do most mornings to catch the news and guess what? President Trump has once again refused to issue a proclamation honoring June as LGBTQ Pride Month. This week the president signed proclomations honoring June 2018 as Great Outdoors Month, National Caribbean-American Heritage Month, African-American Music Appreciation Month, National Ocean Month, and National Homeownership Month .Conspicuously absent is a proclamation honoring LGBTQ Pride month. President Barack Obama , for all eight years of his time in the White House issued proclamations strongly supporting the LGBTQ community.
Hence like every other minority our rights , privileges and safety are in peril. Therefore my dears it's time to rise above it and those who wish others ill-will . Whether you live in New York City or New Haven it's time to call up all your LGBTQ friends and find out what's happening.
Darlings here's a link to my partners site that lists all the Pride events Worldwide. I'm not asking for the moon and the stars just get together with your LGBTQ friends and attend some of the events in your city. The best revenge is a life well lived. Although Pride has developed into Parades and Parties , it wasn't always that way. While today we have certain rights it has been a long hard battle. Therefore let's insist we don't loose ground !
LGBTQ PRIDE - SHOW THE WORLD YOU CARE
Most cities not only have a parade but many other events . Including dance parties, charity events , art shows , fashion shows, and much more. In addition you could host a Pride Parade brunch (like I did last year) it can be so much fun!
