Happy LGBTQ+ Pride Month! I could take this opportunity to give a million and one trite quotes about what love is and what it means. Love is an open door. Love means never having to say you're sorry. Love is...I could fill this whole thread with aphorisms and truisms and what have you... ...but that's not quite what this is about. For those of you who don't know, June is LGBT Pride Month - an opportunity for us to recognize and celebrate the movement to live and let love, whether that's between a man and a woman, two men, two women, or however else you may define love. Since Pride Month began in 1969, we've made a ton of progress. Four summers ago, the U.S. finally legalized same-sex marriage nation wide, and we're seeing similarly increasing acceptance around the world... but the journey isn't over yet. The LGBT community still faces struggles and we still have a ways to go, but this month is all about celebrating how far we've come and our determination as we face the long road ahead. No matter how bleak the road ahead may look, love will overcome, because every time a shadow's cast it means a light is shining somewhere. Whatever form your journey may take, no matter what struggles you may face, know that you have support and don't be afraid to live and love as fully and truly as you can. I could give a million and one quotes about love and what it means, but I'll stick with one, which sums up the journey and the struggle we face: "To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life." - Pablo Neruda So wherever you are, and whatever your story may be: Happy LGBTQ+ Pride Month! As a general warning, please keep conversation respectful. This is a very personal issue for many members, and any derogatory discussion will be dealt with by the staff.
