Me apareció en recuerdos la foto que fue LA FOTO del pride de 2024: un señor portugués abrazando una bandera LGBT.
El señor estaba parado en la puerta de su casa viendo pasar la marcha en Porto, sosteniendo una bandera portuguesa lo cual inicialmente asustó a varios porque agitar la bandera nacional en ese contexto puede ser señal de protesta nacionalista anti-LGBT. La gente en la marcha se detuvo, preocupada por lo que podría pasar. Pero resulta que el señor estaba agitando la bandera portuguesa porque no tenía una bandera arcoíris y quería participar de alguna forma.
Una chica llamada Lily se acercó. El hombre intercambió su bandera portuguesa por la bandera que Lily traía sobre los hombros. Lo que ven en la foto es el momento exacto en que él la recibe y la abraza.
Alguien se sintió visto y parte de algo más grande ese día. Eso es el orgullo: dejar de ser invisibles. 🏳️🌈❤️✨
I wish I could give all the people who had to endure that party a hug :( our spaces are meant to be safe, sane, consensual, and a good time for everyone involved. Truly from the bottom of my heart, I'm so sorry you had to deal with this and the aftermath.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
