Pride is joy. Pride is courage. Pride is a celebration. And Pride is the ongoing fight to ensure every person can live as their authentic self.
This month and every month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and all those continuing the fight for equality.
Happy Pride!
My husband kept insisting the girl from Tinder was "nothing serious."
Okay.
A few weeks later, I found out I was pregnant with our second baby and booked an appointment with a highly recommended OB-GYN.
I brought him with me.
The doctor walked in, saw him, and immediately stopped talking.
He turned pale.
She turned pale.
I smiled.
Then the doctor looked at my chart, looked at him, and quietly asked,
"Wait... this is your husband?"
The silence was so loud I could hear the fetal heartbeat on the monitor.
Nobody spoke for what felt like an hour.
By the time the appointment ended, the pregnancy wasn't the biggest surprise in the room anymore. 😭😂
Spain made history as the first European country to officially introduce paid menstrual leave. It was passed as part of a broader sexual and reproductive health reform, the policy treats debilitating period pain as a legitimate medical condition.
