I am a woman of a certain age - by this I mean I grew up in the 80s & I witnessed a very different life for the LGBTQ+ community. Many gay people were closeted - they hid their identity for fear of physical & emotional harm.

A relative of mine found out my best friend was gay & they told me that ā€œgay slurā€s die alone. I was so heartbroken by this response. My gay friends deserved to live their life in a community that accepted the love in their hearts for whoever they wanted to love.

During the AIDS epidemic I witnessed how the community was made a scapegoat & vilified even though there were other ways to contract HIV. We lost so many amazing people to this horrible disease.

And there were groups who took the opportunity to blame it all on this one group - simply for the agenda to spread hate against what they thought was wrong in their eyes.

It hurts to see this wave of hate against the community today. Those who want to negate the livelihood of a group who have no hate for others decided to say the quiet part out loud.

They donā€™t want it in ā€œtheirā€ world. Even though the LGBTQ+ community doesnā€™t want to be in ā€œtheirā€ world. They only want to be able to live freely in ā€œOURā€ world. The whole world.

BUT I SEE HOPE. I see a new generation who are standing up for the right to be who they are without shame. And their bold and unapologetic presence makes me cry those crazy ugly tears when I think about how far weā€™ve come from my childhood.

It may not feel like it has progressed over the last decade, but I see a future where we are louder than those who hate šŸ“¢

And so Pride is important now more than ever. Not being in the community doesnā€™t mean you canā€™t stand up for their rights. Be an ALLY.

Speak out when you hear or see the hatred spewed across our country. Donā€™t allow your politicians to decimate the hard work that has been done because they have hate in their hearts.
