It's June, so it's Pride Month!
It is important to take the time to reflect on how our voices and actions can affect others. It takes almost no extra effort to correctly name and gender someone, or use their correct pronouns. It will go a long way to showing the card and basic respect deserved by everyone. Yet doing the opposite can and does lasting and painful damage. So please take this month of being bombarded by rainbow packaging and things 'being shoved in your face' to think and reflect on your attitudes and actions towards people. Everyone deserves love and respect, no exceptions.
There's already too much horrible stuff and hatred in this world, don't add to it ...
And also, just quietly, if you say 'I don't know any lgbtqia+ people,' ... sorry to break it to you, but the odds are you do, and there's a reason you don't know ... maybe reflect on why that is.
