it’s pride month and i got a few messages from people unable to celebrate pride due to homophobia and transphobia and i feel like it’s important for us to remember that while a lot of us can go out covered in pride flag colours and party at pride, a lot of LGBT people still can’t be out and loud about their identity because we are not completely safe yet

we’ve made so much progress as a community but we still have a lot to go so don’t lose sight of why we have pride . celebrate who you are but don’t forget those who can’t yet and never stop fighting until all LGBT people can safely be themselves

@ lgbt people who can’t be out for whatever reason: you’re still a big part of pride, you don’t need go all out to participate, just your existence is revolutionary. take pride in the fact you’re still here in spite of all the shit thrown at our people. not giving up when odds are against us is ultimate bravery and pride

this is extremely important. please remember those of us who can’t celebrate pride.
