The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/gay-pride-month)
Pride Month has always felt bittersweet to me until now. I was jealous to the bone of those who could speak freely about their identities. I had to conceal mine, edit my words, make sure that I wouldn’t let it slip out. I was a watered-down version of myself.
We need to be visible for the next generation of kids so that they know that there is a place for them in this world. For that small percentage of children who are destined to be queer, our visibility can be a shining beacon of hope that can make the difference between giving up and hanging on for another day.
We may be living under a dark cloud that threatens to rain on our parade, but our symbol is the rainbow. Though it will be hard work, will endure as we have always done. And when the clouds part we will shine in all of our colors, bigots be damned.
Storm Faerywolf argues for why Pride needs to happen not just in June, not just in October, but every month of the year.
