As PRIDE month comes to an end, we want to take a moment to reflect on why we celebrate. Today, we're remembering that Pride all started with the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City’s Greenwich Village. That uprising was the start of the modern Gay Rights Movement and those brave demonstrators – the first of whom included not only gay men and lesbians, but also African American trans women, drag queens, artists, radicals, and so many more -- all of whom lit the fire to make LGBTQIA people equal and safe in our country and around the world. Check out this page dedicated to PRIDE resources to read more! https://hubs.li/Q02DDrQc0 🏳️🌈‼️ PRIDE GIVEAWAY ‼️ 🏳️🌈 You can win a PRIDE toy gift box for your pet.

GAY RIGHTS VS BLACK RIGHTS | CAN WE SAY IT HAS SIMILARITIES? HAS WHITE AMERICA TWISTED MORAL AROUND TO THE EXTENT WHERE INDIVIDUALS LIKE MYRICK DON'T HAVE A BETTER CLUE ON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLACK RIGHTS VS. GAY RIGHTS. HAVE THEY PUT ANOTHER PUPPET THEY CAN CONTROL IN POSITION? We can all affirm that there are many huge differences. As an award-winning activist who speaks across this country. I see this as an insult to black families or the black civil rights movement in America. Ignorant doesn't always mean a lack of education or knowledge. One of the many major reasons I stopped applauding successful blacks in positions is because many are sold out. There will never be a comparison between black rights and gay rights. There are no similarities, and if anyone tries to create one, It tells us how ignorant they are of black culture!! WE DIDN'T CREATE GAY LIFESTYLES. How can we create gay rights? MAKES IT MAKE SENSE."

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a day of profound historical significance and a symbol of freedom and resilience. On June 19, 1865, enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned of their emancipation—over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Juneteenth reminds us of the enduring fight for equality and the importance of recognizing and honoring this history. It's a time to reflect on the progress made and acknowledge the work still needed to achieve true equality and justice. As we commemorate this day, it's crucial to also highlight the unique struggles faced by Black members of the LGBTQIA community. They endure the compounded challenges of both racial and queer discrimination, fighting for acceptance and equality on multiple fronts. Let’s amplify their voices, support intersectional advocacy, and continue striving for a more inclusive and equitable society for all. Happy Juneteenth! #juneteenth #freedomday #equality #inclusion #lgbtqia #intersectionality #blacklivesmatter

Remember upfront and always to live right sized, because life is usually not our game. Translated, never spend more then you make first, do everything in your power to flip the game to your game. If you flip the game do not copy off your former traducer who obviously failed if you were able to flip on them. Assume success you will flip, once you do treat all people the way you would have wanted to be treated. That means fairly, honestly and honorably. “There is not a right way to do a wrong thing.” My favorite CO from RS Baltimore MD 😊🙂🤓🤫🫶🏽👍🏽🙏🏽 PS: Develope your greatest asset, your subordinates and seniors and peers.

"Some Black folks can be the worst, they’ll go beyond their capacity to uplift every other race or class of people, including, white Folks, white Hispanics, white Asians, white Veterans, and white LGBTQ, but won’t lift a finger for their own community, the global Black community. These are the type of negro’s we need to disengage from ASAP. Some of these Black folks are becoming the Black community’s worst oppressors and gate keepers. Time for Black people to build their own for their own. Every other group has no problem doing the same for theirs, first." – Dr. Ken

As we honor Memorial Day, a single day hardly seems sufficient to pay homage to the sacrifices of our fallen heroes. Yet, amidst this solemn remembrance, we're inundated with the colorful celebration of Pride Month. This is in no way about undermining gay rights, but rather about recognizing the jarring dissonance between the brevity of Memorial Day and 30 times that to celebrate gay pride, it just doesn't seem right to me, and I believe that it would be more appropriate if we gave a day for gay pride and a full month to those who gave their lives for our country. Today, we remember those who gave their lives in service to our country, sacrificing their tomorrows for our todays. We reflect on the families left behind, the empty chairs at dinner tables, and the dreams unfulfilled. A single day of tribute hardly seems enough to encapsulate the magnitude of their bravery and the depth of our gratitude. And yet, as we extend our respect and honor to our fallen heroes, we find ourselves thrust into a month-long celebration of gay pride. It's not that homosexuality shouldn't be allowed a day for acknowledgment, what I am saying is that the stark contrast in duration should give us pause. A single day versus a month of festivities, common—what does it say about our priorities and our values? To me, it seems that we care more about celebrating sexuality in our society than we do about honoring the ultimate sacrifice for our society. In this convergence of Memorial Day and Pride Month, let's not overlook the significance of either. Let's remember to honor our fallen soldiers not just today, or even a month, but every single day of the year. And let's also show compassion for those struggling with acceptance in the LGBTQ community, without celebrating their or anyone's sexual orientation. As we navigate these intersecting days of acknowledgment, may we strive for a world where every sacrifice is remembered, every life is celebrated, and every individual is valued... AND... not be pressured into thinking that any group of people can possibly compare to those who are willing to die for our country and especially those who have died for our country. Those who gave their lives for our country are absolutely the worthiest of recognition and celebration in our society! #MemorialDay

Building our own for our own is legally possible under Art 1 of the Convention on Civil and Political Rights. Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) recognizes the right of all peoples to self-determination. This includes the right to: Choose their own form of government Pursue economic, social, and cultural goals Manage and dispose of their own resources Not be deprived of their means of subsistence Civil rights is not enough as it is the OPPOSITE of self-determination in this country which has made us beggars for the crumbs the white people may decide to throw to us. Our lawyers must study international humanitarian law in addition to American law to discern the path to the political and economic freedoms of the White people who exercise self-determination to our detriment

Pride Month 2024. Symbolic events have so often been co-opted and capitalised that somewhere we forget the reason for their existence in the first place. Pride month is rooted in resistance, protest and activism. Ask yourself, how many queer/trans people of colour do you see in leadership roles and positions of power. How many of those come from the global south, lower socio-economic classes, and are from ethno-linguistic and caste minority communities. This pride month, disengage with companies profiting off of performative ‘rainbow coloured profiles’ and engage with queer/trans voices, artists and activists. Take a moment to learn about cross movement solidarity and the need to support movements of resistance around the world. Begin your allyship by centering queer/trans lived experiences in your workspaces over the next four weeks and by ensuring inclusivity is intersectional and not transactional moving forward. Till then I leave you with a quote from one of favourite authors, the black lesbian feminist activist Audre Lorde- “There is no thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.” #pridemonth2024 #queerrights #transrights #intersectionality

Storytelling isn’t just a form of entertainment. For George M. Johnson, writing has the power to change lives. The award-winning Black non-binary author was named to the TIME100 Next, TIME‘s annual list of rising stars, and Out’s 100 Most Influential LGBTQ People. Their New York Times bestselling memoir, All Boys Aren’t Blue, is a powerful recounting of George’s adolescence growing up as a young Black queer boy in New Jersey. In this quote, George emphasizes the incredible power of storytelling, and how it opens paths for others to live their life more authentically. In talks, they illuminate issues that Black queer people still face today—like toxic masculinity, LGBTQIA policy and law, and intersections of oppression—and how these issues play out in communities on the ground. With honesty and openness, they show us how we have the power to create a world where all young people are free to be fully themselves.
