Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here. Pride is not dependent on being ALLOWED to be who we are, it’s a promise that we WILL be no matter what
As a heavy guy with a decent resume, I guess I'll just wait for the Mattachine society to return.
Pride has never been for squares like me. Even if we are queer as a three dollar bill. College being about useful shit gets me branded a 'techbro' despite owning $0 crypto.
