    Welcome back to this fun little corner of the internet!

    I personally see pride as a celebration of one’s sexuality / gender identity, particularly in a society where heteronormativity is prominent, and we still have people who won’t accept others due to them being LGBTQIA+. I like how it empowers people to celebrate an important aspect of their identity. I don’t like how companies participate in rainbow washing.

    As with other events that are around advocacy, like NAIDOC Week, I do think we’ve got to do more than just have a week or a month for these sorts of things. But I’m glad pride exists. In some countries, it’s frowned upon or even illegal to be queer.
