Improbable Rainbows

Rainbows found in unexpected or unlikely places. Rainbows you weren't looking for. Rainbows you didn't know you needed. Sometimes just rainbows, because they're lovely and it feels improbable every time you look up and see one. This blog is pride and queer friendly. I go full-on pride themed every June. Terfs & other exclusionists are not welcome here. Header image by Steve, Avatar by Sarah Jane. Main blog: windandwater.

I’m so proud of my alma matter! The University of Montana illuminated Main Hall in Pride colors for Pride Week last week! Much to conservatives’ chagrin, the red state of Montana is slowly changing color. Slowly, so, so, slowly progress is happening, and it gives me so much hope for the future. Missoula got a rainbow crosswalk last year, an increasing number of businesses and homes are sporting pride flags, and we had the largest turn out EVER for Pride this year!!!

It’s so easy to get overwhelmed in the negativity of the world, and lost to the seemingly endless transphobia and homophobia, but I KNOW, I absolutely KNOW it is getting better. And one day we will be beyond this dark time, and we will be truly free to be ourselves. Until then, stay safe, stay well, and keep grinding. Much love <3
