Happy Pride 2021! June marks national Pride month!
What does this mean? Pride month is a time where we celebrate the beautiful and diverse LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Trans, Queer +) community! We take this time to go celebrate the progress the LGBTQ+ community has made in acceptance and equality in the world. We look back on the AIDS epidemic of the 1980's, the Stonewall Riots, and marriage equality, remembering where the community was and how much we have grown into being equal with all. During this time we celebrate by attending Pride Parades, Festivals, attending drag shows, wearing way too much rainbow patterns and glitter, and celebrating with our community, family, and friends. This year I have decided to celebrate by giving back to my local Pride Center, The Utah Pride Center. Every book sale I make throughout the month of June, I will be donating all the royalties to the Utah Pride Center. The Utah Pride Center has been a pillar in the community and has saved lives, helped people in crisis, and provided a safe place for me when I was a young teen coming out of the closet. The pandemic was hard on all of us, especially on all of the non-profits that help so many communities. This will be one of a few fundraisers I plan on doing this year for non-profits. So let's kick it off by celebrating pride month, getting yourself a new book; knowing the profits will help support an organization that has helped so many of us.
