June is Pride Month.
Like so many other observances, it has become commercialized in a lot of ways. As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather corporations call positive attention to it rather than how things were in the old days, when LGBTQ+ people were invisible or portrayed as predators, more so than today.
We should also keep in mind that there are LGBTQ+ people who are monogamous, and also those who are polyamorous or otherwise involved in consensual, ethical, or disclosed nonmonogamy. There are also LGBTQ+ people who are consangunamorous or have consanguineous relationships. All these people should have their rights.
Let's celebrate gender, sexuality, and relationship diversities. May allies join in, and may there be solidarity for all!
Let's make it a great month!
Are you going to any events?

Happy holidays, brothers and sisters, who have exercised their rights to choose sexual behavior and partners! Happy holidays, our allies and supporters, all honest people who have the courage to fight for the rights of LGBT+ people.
ReplyDeletePride Month is celebrated only in the United States now, but it is high time to celebrate it all over the world, especially in countries where official and domestic homophobia, intolerance and bigotry towards "non-traditional" couples, consanguinamory, polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships prevail.
I dream that one day Pride Month will turn into Pride Year, and then there will be no need for such events at all, because people will learn to be truly humane towards themselves and their other human beings.
I wish you all peace, understanding and love, and not only in June...
