I was just heading over here to top this but it was already topped. (sorry Kitten XD)
HAPPY PRIIIIIIIIIDE!!
*throws rainbow confetti*
y'all are awesome, 'kay? don't ever forget it :)
anyways, last year i didn't have anything that meaningful to say (can you believe it? my second CB pride month *wipes tear*) BUT this year i think i do.
Even since I got here, the CB has grown more and more accepting. When I joined, there was maybe one person who I knew was enby and used they/them pronouns. If even.
Now there are at least four or five. Here was where I learned how to used nonbinary pronouns. Here was where I learned that being LGBTQ+ was not, in fact, strange or weird. Here was where I learned what it meant to be pan, to be bi, to be ace, to be genderqueer.
Here was the first place I ever saw an LGBTQ+ character, and the first place I had ever met a genderqueer person as well as the first place I'd ever seen a genderqueer character.
But here is also where I learned what homophobia and transphobia is. Here is also where I learned that despite the amount of love there is, there's also hate. Here's also where I learned that people can be mean to you because of things like gender identity, religious identity, and orientation. That people can be so prejudiced and so hateful.
And here's where I learned what pride meant.
To me, pride is being 100% proud of who you are and making sure the world knows it.
Because you deserve to be able to be 100% proud of who you are, wether that's gay, bi, ace, or genderqueer, or several of the above. You are 100% valid and you are amazing. I hope you know that.
So happy pride, and I hope you know you're loved <3

HAPPY PRIDE!!! This is my favorite thread and I will never not want it topped. I owe so much to the CB and this thread in particular for teaching me about the LGBTQ+ community and helping me feel comfortable and confident in my identity (I feel like I talk about this a lot but you get to hear it again haha). I didn't even know Pride month was a thing before this thread, and now it's my favorite time of year. I love seeing Pride flags in shop windows and knowing there are other people out there, it's the best feeling. Gender has been a roller coaster ride this year, but I'm working it out.
I'm so proud of who I am, and I'm proud of all of you too! Whether you're out, closeted, or just starting your journey, you are amazing and deserve the world. I love you guys, happy Pride! *hugs* *throws rainbow confetti*

Happy pride month! I hope you all have a wonderful day, and I wanted to let you know that no matter what people may tell you, you are 100% valid, and there is no reason that you should ever doubt who you are. So what if you like the same gender, multiple genders, or all genders? So what if you're open to multiple relationships at the same time? So what if you feel like you are non-binary, or are trans? So what if you don't feel like being in a relationship at all? (there's more I probably forgot, sorry :/). There is no problem with any of that. Just be true to yourself. I love you all, and have a great month. <33

Hey, happy Pride all! Technically I was out last year, but I'm out OUT this year, if that makes sense. Also, this morning I decided to start a couple of traditions, first, to get my sister something gay every year for their birthday, sneak a little happy pride note in thier gift as well, and finally, paint my nails a different flag every year/week for June. Today they are the lesbian flag! So yeah, so far, sucessful Pride! <3 Stay awesome!

Yaaaay *claps* happy pride month! Most, probably all, of my IRL friends are LGBTQ+ so yay. :D
Unfortunately, this day also happened to be the day that my class got into an argument with our teacher who was blatantly ignoring the heteronormative-ness, (that's not a word is it --) not to mention sexism in a certain text we were studying. It was really frustrating.
