Happy #PrideMonth. Pride is not just a celebration of our fellow citizens’ hard won rights, but an important and necessary answer to centuries of state and socio-cultural denial (and violent suppression) of what nature simply continues to manifest in all of its pluralisms…
My son is 15
I never bought him a pride onesie when he was a baby.
I never read him a book that had two moms as part of the storyline.
When he was little stores and businesses didn’t have LGBTQ+ displays and we didn’t celebrate pride month.
He was raised Catholic, and went to church.
Guess what? He is gay.
The rainbow won’t make your kids gay. They are born that way. A display in a store won’t make your kid trans, they are born that way.
If you don’t love and accept them for who they are, YOU are a shitty parent.
They haven’t failed, you have.
Happy Pride Month, Michigan!

Pride Month is about courage, love, and justice. As we reflect on the progress we've made, let's recommit ourselves to equality and acceptance. Together, we can create a world where everyone can be proud of who they are.
Casement: “Psychoanalysis has the potential for enabling a re-birth of the individual personality. It is a tragedy if this comes to be limited to a process nearer to that of ‘cloning,’
everyone expected a big production but lady gaga has once again prove that all she need is her talent to stand out. all the glam being stripped away just an intimate performance with her voice #Oscars
This comment seems to come from a arena of privilege — many kids have to work … not choose to work.
That being said — I wish there was more flexibility in the nature of HS sports that offered opportunity for those kids that missed a couple days of practice/wk to still compete.
@lindenxc Yes, the recognition of diverse situations is paramount. From someone who had a positive experience in HS athletics but also had to work to begin to tackle the incoming debt from 2 degrees, I can see the tug in different directions.
