Our Pride Month issue highlighted the multitude of attacks against LGBTQ+ individuals. However, more importantly, Pride emulated the joy, resilience, and tenacity of this community.

Founded at the onset of the AIDS crisis, one organization is still defying an antagonistic system amid new legislative attacks against the LGBTQ+ community.

During Pride Month I came across a tiny little Pride display at the discount store, #BigLots.

I know #RainbowCapitalism is a thing. And it can be hard to avoid spending dollars at a place that contributes to politicians who want to eradicate you. But I went ahead and purchased some stuff from that retail company.

After some quick research I was glad to see that Big Lots, Inc leaned heavily toward the left in its political contributions.

Happy #Pride Big Lots.

For Pride month, religion scholar Diana Butler Bass reprises her 2021 essay about growing up with the realization that her father was gay. As she cleaned out her parents' house after they had died, she looked in his wallet, and found that, all his married life, he carried, along with his wedding photo and photos of his children, several photos of a young man who was clearly his first love.

This is not the first time I've heard such a story, by the way.

"In case you have any remaining doubt that the Religious Right wants to obliterate all appearance of LGBTQ people — to make them invisible once again — consider the dustup over a single photograph showing a small Pride flag atop a piece of equipment on the set of the popular television show The Chosen."

The trams are actually flying the Progress #Pride flag this year. Wouldn’t take much more (frequency gratings and a few vertical lines) to also function effectively as the Pride #Testcard.

There were only twenty-six transphobic bills in 2018, but 174 in 2022. This is not a coincidence.

Corporations showing up at #pride meant _they agreed_. They wouldn't _fire your ass_ on the _spot_ if they found you out.

You could be queer and _still have a job_.

And at that point in time, in the 1990s, in the AIDS peak, that was fucking _revolutionary_.

So yeah. It doesn't mean that so much anymore. But that's _absolutely_ what it meant then.

So when you talk about #RainbowCapitalism and #CorporatePride - try to remember this, because that's what meant once.

And it still means that, to a degree. Particularly now, now that it's becoming harder again.
