​Pride Month

It was easy to decide my topic today, being pride month we are flooded with tweets and memes of support. As an openly pan-sexual pride month offers a unique experience of broad acceptance. Over the last decade there has been laws passed that have taken steps in the direction of equality. Extending to many basic rights that have been too long denied. Staying clear of political mind fields, I have to say we are not done fighting. Recent events have highlighted that while we have made bold, daring steps there are still those who will gladly set the times back. So while we are all celebrating, lets not forget that Pride is not just a concept we embrace once a year. As a community we need to ensure every day that we fight to create a world free of hate and fear. We need our old and our young. Our allies. Our friends and families. To stand with us, celebrate us, morn with us. Because no matter where you stand inside the rainbow, we are all one. We are human.
