Pride is important because somewhere there is a kid who has been told they are meant to be straight and is wearing a straight jacket their whole life.
When they see us thriving, living a beautiful life, loving who we want, being who we want, dressing how we want, existing how we like, they can be themselves. They can escape the hell they have faced. The bullying and harassment from their parents, their peers, their friends, the people around them who were taught hatred and bigotry.
We will never stop celebrating Pride no matter how much you try to stop us.
That is actually the reason we celebrate. Because you are trying to stop us. The more you push the more present we will be in your lives until it is normalised.
Have you not understood that yet.
You have been trying to stop us for fifty years. It is not working. It never will. You cannot stop us existing and thriving. You cannot stop us being ourselves no matter what laws or torture or death penalty you put on us.
We will be here when you are gone.
You will die failing to erase us because being LGBTQIA+ is part of humanity.
We always will be.
Wait. WAIT. If watching two men kiss can turn a child gay, then showing them a man and a woman kiss should turn them back.
Unless, of course, that’s not how any of this works.
I saw a comment saying the U.S. is the only country in the World Cup without universal healthcare. And I was like nahhh no way that's accurate.
20 seconds on the world wide web later, THE UNITES STATES IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CUP WITHOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.
Found an imaginary problem, said only they could fix it, didn’t listen to experts, hired buddies who grifted millions, failed miserably, bragged how great it went.
The entire Trump presidency in a nutshell.
So let me get this straight: Pulling a chunk of paint out of the Reflecting Pool gets you arrested for vandalism, but trump’s terrorists who attacked the Capitol, killed cops, broke windows, stole shit, and smeared their feces on the walls get to go free?
It is deeply frustrating how easily Americans moved past the reality that Donald Trump attempted an actual coup in 2021 and failed miserably.
He should have been disqualified from ever holding power again the moment he tried to overturn the election results. He is a traitor who belongs in jail, plain and simple.
Treating his actions as just another political scandal that can be brushed aside is completely unacceptable.
The Republicans who enabled this comeback are absolute traitors to the US. They had multiple opportunities to draw a line in the sand and reject him.
Instead, they acted in a pathetic manner by backing him as their candidate and enabling him to become president again
We've been forced to pay into social security our whole damn working lives, but this little weasel and the Republicans think we don't deserve OUR MONEY back in full when we retire? They say we're not "entitled" to it.
Fuck that.
See you in November, GOP. 🔥
