During Pride this year, more than ever, we need to remember that Pride has always been more than rainbow flags, parties, and parades.
Pride started as a protest. It was born from resistance and from people who were told they were too much, too different, too loud, too q***r to deserve safety, love, or dignity. It exists because our community fought back. In divisive times like these, that history matters more than ever.
Pride is not just about celebration. It’s about solidarity. It’s about showing up for each other, protecting one another, and refusing to leave anyone behind.
That means standing up for our entire LGBTQIA+ community, especially our trans brothers and sisters, who are facing relentless attacks, harmful rhetoric, and efforts to erase their humanity every day. Pride means using our voices when others are being silenced. It means creating safer spaces, choosing compassion over complacency, and remembering that liberation has always been collective.
You don’t have to be perfect, but you do have to care.
This Pride, celebrate loudly, love fiercely, but most importantly, STAND TOGETHER.
Because Pride was a protest and for many, it still is. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
