The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/lgbtqia-pride-month)
“Sadly, as we are not even 30 years past the first acknowledgement of Pride Month by President Clinton,” writes Clio Ajana, “we are reverting. Certain states have passed state or local proclamations declaring June as anything but Pride Month.”
No one wants to return to the closet. To do otherwise, we need to weave strong armor that will resist the weapons of our enemy, whether they be political, legal, or community directed.
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.
June is usually referred to as “Pride Month.” However, this June is different: It’s Pride Month as always, but also “National Immigrant Heritage Month.”
Junio generalmente se conoce como “Mes del Orgullo”. Sin embargo, este junio es diferente: es el Mes del Orgullo como siempre, pero también el “Mes Nacional de la Herencia Inmigrante”.
