happy pride to everyone who can’t make it to a pride event

🌈 happy pride to closeted people

🌈 happy pride to people living in rural areas where there’s no pride event around for miles

🌈 happy pride to poor people who can’t afford to go to a pride event

🌈 happy pride to working people who can’t afford to take even a day off 

🌈 happy pride to minors who don’t have parents or other adults willing to take them to pride

🌈 happy pride to disabled people who aren’t going to any pride events because you don’t know if they’re going to be accessible or not

🌈 happy pride to people with chronic pain who don’t feel up to going to any pride events

🌈 happy pride to people with chronic illnesses who are too sick to go to pride events

🌈 happy pride to neurodivergent and mentally ill people who can’t handle being at events with large crowds and loud noises

happy pride to everyone who can’t make it to a pride event no matter why that is! hopefully you can still do something yourself at home, either alone or with some friends. you don’t have to go to a huge pride parade in order to be proud of who you are or to have a good time! 🌈💖

Since I haven’t seen any mention of it yet, except on twitter, i’d also like to remind everyone that not only is June LGBT pride month, but it’s also Indigenous History month!

Please take the time to support, uplift and remember your Native, First Nations, Aboriginal and otherwise Indigenous friends and family. We are here, we exist! We have a long and winding history that deserves to be heard and respected! The word ‘Indigenous’ is so wonderful, and so expansive, and includes so many different cultures under its arms. Go out, learn about our histories and our cultures. Talk to the Indigenous people around you! We’re everywhere!

And not only that, but also be sure to give extra support to LGBT indigenous voices in this community. We are a minority that is scarcely acknowledged, and in desperate need of it. Too many times have I gotten strange looks for being so openly Native and so openly a lesbian. It’s as if that combination is impossible for people to understand. Support our content, buy from our stores! Or at least just include us!

I’d like to wish a happy LGBT pride month, and a happy Indigenous History month to everyone, but especially us LGBT Native folks. This really is our month to be open about ourselves, and I sure intend to. 💗🏳️‍🌈
