During June, we celebrate another LGBTQIA+ Pride Month. While today many feel a sense of security in gay bars, it is important to reflect about our culture and lack of civil rights that the LGBTQIA+ shared little more than a half century ago.
Pride is people finding strength, courage, and a common voice to demand equality and destroy systemic legal, medical, media, and social oppressions that exist. We need to focus on this rather than the media’s focus on corporations that support the LGBTQIA+ population.
