Tomorrow starts #GatPrideMonth . I am a straight woman but life long ally who lived in the Castro in San Francisco w her gay best friend.

in 2021 I attended the #PRIDE parade in NYC.

It was joyous and powerful. But since then we’ve seen added attacks on the community.

These are my photos.

In the 2 years since the LGBTQ position has been attacked… from trans and don’t say gay laws to simple drag shows. I imagine the march this year will be more political and less party. Straight/gay:trans/non-binary… we need to march to fight for the right to love who we love and be who we are.

I took my (then 15 or 16 year old) daughter to the PRIDE March in DC 2 years in a row with some of her friends. It was so much fun!

I'm 59 & grew up in Oakland, CA.

When I was 5 (that's 1969 for those who Math) my Mom introduced me to her former (tall, handsome, very blonde) ex-boyfriend, and HIS current boyfriend (tall, handsome, black man).

IT WAS NO BIG DEAL.

Not to her. Not to me. Not to Dad.
I miss liberal cities.

I lived in the Castro with my husband probably 30 years ago! It was the safest I felt in any SF neighborhood. Walked around at night a felt totally safe. Loved it!

This was an amazing pictorial. Thank you for sharing. I look back on my days marching in Pride in the Houston Pride parade as an ally fondly, as well. A little older and crowds not so much my thing, but it was always a lot of fun and I always felt safe, until we got to the "counter protestors".

Thanks Sitara! It’s easy for me. I just take the subway 15 minutes. I understand it’s more difficult to navigate crowds.
