Pride Month June 2021

[TranquillityBase]

Pride month
isn't about your sexuality.
It's not about your pronouns
or genitals.
Pride is people
punished for being themselves,
their thoughts and actions
desperate to align.
Pride isnt proud.
It's survival, self control
and understanding,
It's community.
Pride month
includes you, and me
teachers, mayors, doctors
our parents and kids.

Thank you for sharing this.  It has been a revelatory read for me.  Our daughter came out about 6 years ago.  I thought we (her parents) were being pretty supportive, but this has made me realize that we have more to do than just be supportive of a daughter.  We need to be more thoughtful towards others beyond our daughter.  Thanks again.
