my mouth is a fire escape

The words coming out
don’t care that they are naked.
There is something burning in there.

Happy Pride!

 

Remember:

* The first pride was a riot led by trans women of color. Keep fighting. 

* True pride is intersectional. My liberation is wrapped up in yours. 

* Pride isn't corporate- it's a movement. It's not about the rainbow Absolut Vodka or cool t-shirt (though I like both). It's about our freedom to love and live

* Keep practicing social distancing... it sucks but our community remembers how a virus can decimate and devastate. 

* CELEBRATE YOURSELF

 

SchrodingersDinosaur​(switch female) - I debated saying anything here, Laura, so please delete if you desire, sure as hell don't want to hi-jack your positivity post. I also considered doing my own cautionary blog and may this evening if I can put some focus on getting the words right.

Anyway, a happy Pride Month to you and to all, and I am intentioning (non religious so don't pray...) a safe Pride Month for all. Sadly, especially in light of all of the other tension and other upheavals going on in our world today, there are awful ugly people, a minority to be sure but a loud one, that are trying to usurp the equality celebration to threaten and attack the LGBTQ+ community, online and in the real, with their own movement Operation Pridefall. Please be cautious and maintain awareness, we can't allow those trolls to damage the progress that has been made, there's still so much to be done. Be well, - Henna

simplylaura​(sub female){djinni} - You're absolutely right and Pridefall is dangerous. I hope that by getting the word out it's taken some of the wind out of their sails. Sadly it's the ones who aren't super aware of lgbtq+ issues who I fear will fall prey to those douchebags.
