The Importance of Pride
What does the importance of Pride mean? How does it relate to us, each and everyone? Sure each of us could argue if it is needed or why it is, but the truth is in the climate we are currently in, Pride is what will keep us together and show our strength. So much of [...]
How Do You Celebrate Pride
I want to start by saying that this is not the post that I intended to write today. Previously, I was going to write about Pride and actually participating in the march. It never fails that every year after Pride there are those who talk about how certain people demean the meaning of Pride, how [...]
To Pride or Not To Pride?
Saturday marks the first day of Pride month and with it comes a range of emotions. Many are excited about being able to congregate in their hometown, openly, along the street and celebrate what it means to be LGBTQ and the advances we have made. Many still mark this as a time of shame and [...]
Silence = Death

Delusions of Equality
So, You Think We Have Rights? Were we, as LGBTQ people, tricked into supporting legalized marriage? Seems like a shocking thing to say, right? How hard is it to believe that the powers that be convinced us to change our fight for rights to something more controllable? We have fought for our rights that the [...]
LGBTQ Inclusivity
