The last paragraph is absolutely the most important part of the piece. I have been saying since the start of June that pride is an everyday thing and I really believe that.
I purchased small pride related items, because I really had none. I also supported a couple queer owned businesses and provided help to friends in the community, both if which have me a tremendous sense of pride and celebration.
Every Saturday I wore a shirt that says, “I never came out of the closet. I was in the cupboard with the rest of the Pans.” This, other than a necklace and some bracelets, is my most treasured piece of clothing.
I really wanted to go to Chicago Pride this year as part of my Midwest Pride Tour, but travel and lodging were too expensive. Instead, I went to Topeka, KS, and visited the Equality House. It was an awesome experience, and the Pride Palooza was free!
GREAT IDEAS!!! I've watched Heartstopper, SKAM (season 3), Single All the Way; read TONS of LGBTQ books, wrote one and working on two more; wore pride shirts all month (and will continue through summer); have magnets on cars; flags out front... Oh, we're big board game fans too -- Carcassone, Ticket to Ride (Europe and Great Lakes), Elfenland, but I'm not a Catan fan. Haven't heard of the ones you guys play.
A tv show that has been very Queer friendly lately is Doctor Who- the 15th Doctor Ncuti Gatwa an openly Queer black man portrays The Doctor as Queer.In the episode Rogue The Doctor and Rogue( played by the openly Queer Jonathan Groff) share an onscreen kiss after they do an amazing couple dance in 18th century England. Usually it's not WE'RE QUEER 24/7 but Doctor Who is definetly more accepting towards everybody.Also Russell T Davies Who brought back Doctor Who in 2005 is back at the helm and he is an openly Queer man as well, writing and producing Doctor Who.
This list is terrific! I am physically disabled and living in a new city but what I have seen here has given me hope! 🌈🌈🌈🌈
I’m so glad to hear that!

I don't celebrate. I'm 67 years old, poor and isolated in a "ruby red", rural area.
