it’s june 1st baby! this pride month remember to:
- NOT use the q slur to refer to the whole community because even if you personally wanna reclaim it, many people still feel traumatized by it. please say lgbt or lgbtq+ if you must
- NOT reblog pride posts that don’t include the lesbian flag. we have our own flag, it’s 2020, there is no excuse for lesbophobia
- NOT reblog “pride calendars”. there is no specific date for any gender or sexuality, pride month is for all of us
- acknowledge that the stonewall rebellion was about police brutality and unjust laws against lgbt people, especially trans women, ESPECIALLY trans woc. not about marriage equality. tell people about marsha p. johnson, sylvia rivera, and storme delarverie! do not let their histories (and others) be forgotten.
have a safe and hopeful pride month <3
