@jessica01wood Hey there. I totally hear you. But just two things: First off, consider that every single day of my entire life (and for centuries and centuries before me) I have been surrounded by celebrations of what straight people do with their genitals. Every ad. Every story. Every piece of entertainment. Every political decision. Every textbook. I get it. Sex and love sells. But that doesn’t offend me. I recognize that that those narratives speak to the majority of the world. But the world has lots and lots of different people in it, with lots and lots of different stories and truths. So, isn’t it kinda nice to give those people who have been pushed to the sidelines a time to be reflected? I small “hey, we hear you and we see you” of acknowledgment? Seems like it’s really not hurting anybody, just sharing the pie. And there is more than enough pie to go around! (Mmmm, pie!) Secondly, I certainly hope that gay pride has nothing to do with my genitals! We are talking here about who I like and who I love. The people I gravitate towards and am naturally attracted to. You know the way you are attracted to certain people and feel deep love for certain people? So do I! Yay! We don’t all have to be the same! What a wonderful world, huh? Pride is simply a special time to feel a much needed sense of community around who I am (which can feel very very lonely at times), and the incredible and wonderful and special way that I was born. The amazing and fantastic way that God (in his own image) made me. Gay people have endured lifetimes of oppression and marginalization just for being born, so, yeah, some nice people thought it might be cool to designate a special time to acknowledge that they are people with feelings and stories and friends and jobs and mothers and faiths and taxes to pay. And that translates to, well, um, pride. A sense of pride for what we have DESPITE those lifetimes of oppression. It’s just a nice thing. We’re not talking genitals here. Just feelings. Does that make sense?

Know what’s hard? Authenticity. It’s scary. I’m terrible at it. But every day I strive to peel back one more layer of me. To reveal something vulnerable about myself. Every time I do, magic happens. Pride Happens.
.
Know what’s easy? Shame. It’s a piece of cake. I’m fantastic at it. And every day I’m tempted to build walls between me and myself. To expose someone else’s truth only to diminish it. Every time I do, separation happens. Fear happens.
.
So... what if we all did the harder, scarier thing? What if we all got:
MORE vulnerable.
MORE sincere.
MORE understanding.
MORE supportive.
MORE authentic.
More PROUD.
.
Who’s in?
Who has guts?
Who has PRIDE? 🙋🏼♂️

@mauricemitchell8231 And correct me if I’m wrong, but one flag that covers only one country seems a bit exclusive in itself, doesn’t it? The country was created out of necessity. Just as the Pride flag was created out of necessity. Just as Pride itself was created out of necessity. Straight white folks always want to be included when, in fact, they are the biggest excluders. Pride was created out of necessity because society excluded the lgbtq community.

Barrett hasn't (come out) from my understanding. Not that I think people need to... Stop assuming he's Gay and jumping the gun.... There are a lot more letters in that pride flag.... People need to stop slapping gay on a guy right away if he supports pride month... (same for a girl) he could be bi, he could be pan.... Either way though he is fabulous..

@barrettfoa how beautifully put, I can not word it as you can because I don't know what it is genuinely like to face these sorts of prejudices day in and day out. Just know there are a lot of people that support gay pride and that love is just love ?
