Let’s not have pride this year that is all about rainbow colors. Remember those who have lost their lives during the AIDS crisis, and the years they were ignored by the government and couldn’t get healthcare to save their lives. Same as what is happening today - those who are not privileged don’t have equal resources, or even access to healthcare. That’s why equality should matter for everyone. It’s not just a party, it’s to show that we’re still here and we will not give up.

The rainbow doesn’t signify a party. But it does signify a community and the education and protest might fall second to the party in the perception of some... but IMHO the rainbow is needed even more when we can’t be literally out.

Very good point, I agree with you. I just had an experience a 3 or so years back in NYC.

I come from a country where it is illegal and dangerous to be gay. Growing up I didn’t know people like me existed, and if they did they were the ones that were being made fun of and talked about in the most dehumanizing terms. Fast forwards to the time when I make it out of my country and come out of the closet, live the life I had to hide from everyone. And the first parade where I will see, for the first time so many people on the spectrum being free and proud... instead I see wasted jocks holding their gf hair while they throw up and drag attention to themselves, brands brands brands that I know in my country support the antigay movements. It had no spirit of freedom, union, community, love... There are places where people get executed for being gay, and even today Hungary took away the rights of trans people, so we’re so far from over. Even the horrors that go on domestically. That’s why it made me skeptical, but visibility is also a step towards acceptance.

17% of LGBTQ+ people have been laid off, compared to 13% of the general population. 29% don’t have paid sick leave. Many are immunocompromised. These are the realities we need to bring to the forefront and that companies need to address to contribute to Pride in a meaningful way.

Just wanted to say, as a guy in my mid-20’s, cheers to all the 30-40+ y/o LGBTQIA+ folks here—I know we roll our eyes at the performative rainbows on everything now, but you folks made this possible for the rest of us—you fought for acceptance, for our rights, and you made it through the struggle so people my age don’t have the same weight to carry, so we don’t have to be as afraid.
We have a long way to go, and I’ll carry the torch too, but I really think y’all deserve more gratitude. Happy 🏳️‍🌈
