Pride & Juneteenth Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when news of emancipation finally reached the last enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It is a day of mourning and memory, of survival and celebration. And within that story of liberation are Black

Pride & Bi+ Joy Bisexuality is expansive. It invites us beyond binaries and challenges the idea that love or identity can be easily categorized. Bi+ people have always existed in the in-between, not because we are indecisive, but because we refuse to be confined. That fluidity is not something to

Pride & 2SLGBTQIA+ Elders Pride would not exist without queer and trans elders. Every right we have, every space we gather in, every word we now speak aloud without shame was carved out by those who came before us, often at great cost. Many faced arrest, exile, institutionalization, or silence.

Too often, Pride spaces celebrate visibility without considering access, or talk about liberation while replicating ableist systems. Disabled queer and trans people have always been part of our history, our resistance, and our survival.

Pride & Coming Out Visibility can be powerful, but it is not always safe. For many 2SLGBTQIA+ people, coming out means risking family rejection, losing a job, being harassed, or worse. And those risks are not evenly distributed. Racialized, trans, disabled, and poor queer people often face the harshest consequences

Pride, Faith, & Religion For too long, faith has been used as a weapon against 2SLGBTQIA+ people. Many of us carry deep wounds from churches that told us we had to choose between who we are and what we believe. Some never return, and that choice is valid. When faith

Pride & the Banning of 2slgbtqia+ Books Pride is a celebration of visibility, but visibility is under attack, especially for those at the intersections of queerness, race, gender, and class.
