It is WONDERFUL to see the Casey's Center in Des Moines lit up for Pride Month! Wouldn't it also be great for all of the single stall bathrooms in Casey's stores around the state to be gender neutral? They have an online comment form where it's easy to make that suggestion. I've made my request and they responded, in part, "We truly appreciate your feedback on this and will share it with the appropriate teams." How about lots of us fill their inbox with this request and see what happens!

Today we are celebrating a great ally and local business, Dan McCue of McCue & Associates-American Family Insurance in Grinnell. Since taking charge of the local office last year, Dan has proven to be an incredible LGBTQ+ ally through his eagerness to be a part of our All Are Welcome Here project and sponsorship of events like the Flamy Grant concert last February. His commitment to letting customers know he is safe and affirming event extends to the profile picture on his company page! If you are looking for an agent who you know shares your values and commitment to LGBTQ+ rights, Dan is your man! Find his page at https://www.facebook.com/McCueamfam

We celebrate pride in many different ways and for many different reasons. Each of us carries a story that fits in the pie chart of what pride actually is. Whether it is our own story or the story of someone we love, no one story is more or less important or valid than another. If we're being honest with ourselves, the truth is we are all a part of the rainbow spectrum in one way or another. Whoever you are and however you identify, you are loved and accepted just as you are. Be proud. Happy Pride Month.

Today we're highlighting Priarie Thrift, one of our "All Are Welcome Here" participating businesses. When they celebrated their Grand Opening in April they already had their sticker prominently displayed on the front window. They strive to provide a welcoming and affirming space for everyone who walks through the door. The manager, Ren, and their team of volunteers are always happy to help people looking to explore a new look and have been especially affirming to multiple trans and gender non-conforming folks who have been lucky enough to walk through their doors. Thank you, Prairie Thrift, for being a safe and affirming space for all!!!

What a wonderful time we had at the Glitter & Be Gay event this afternoon! We filled the yard at The Grinnellian with rainbows and laughter and friends new and old. Thank you to everyone who came out and to everyone who made it possible. It was a beautiful thing to be a part of and we're already talking about how to make it even better next year!

We are so grateful for the support we've received that will help tonight's Glitter & Be Gay Pride Social a success! It wouldn't be happening without the invitation of Evan at The Grinnellian to host something at their beautiful B&B. HyVee jumped in to provide some food and Fareway provided drinks. The college chipped in some funds that make it possible for us to include the Grinnell Blooms flower cart and Starlight Photobooth to add to the fun. And we'll won't have any trouble hearing the music because of the generosity of John Cox in providing a sound system.

This event is for anyone who identifies as LGBTQ+ and is our way to say we're so glad you're part of our community! If you haven't had a chance to RSVP and still want to stop by, please put on your rainbows and glitter and come join us from 4-6pm at The Grinnellian on the corner of 7th & Broad in Grinnell.
