Okay, okay, I know that
my annual blogfest party
TRANSLESBIGAYAPALOOZA
got a little derailed this year
by the Edmonton Oilers'
Stanley Cup run --
. . . but now I'm back on the
Rainbow Track again!
Wait, whaddya mean
Pride Month
is almost over?
Well, I guess I'd better
wrap things up then.
Thanks for celebrating the
LGBTQ+ community
with me all month long!
Here's one last message
for all of us --
. . . and for our opponents --
...have a Jolly July.
ReplyDeleteI would love to live to the day when people are accepted for who they are! I fear it’s not going to happen. Meanwhile, we do our part! It all matters.
ReplyDeleteHubs heard a report that in the US, various states and local communities have passed about 460 anti LGBTQ+ laws. Our Pride is being beaten back by ignorance and bias and hate. Our celebration is always part protest. Happy Pride!!!
ReplyDelete"Ultimate Straight" made me guffaw, and the last one made me smile!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pride, all year long 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈
Yay, celebrate you! Pride should be all year!
ReplyDeleteKeep the pride in your heart all year long darling Deborah. It has been a fun ride.
ReplyDeleteI hope that one day, people will all realize that it doesn't matter who you love, as long as you love. Happy Pride month Debra.
ReplyDeleteBe Proud 365.
ReplyDeletei got sidetracked by the oilers too. i always look forward to your pride month posts!
ReplyDeletePride month may end, but we in the LGBTQ community go on.
ReplyDeleteOther interests? I am just here for the Hawaii vacation photos.
ReplyDelete@ Old Lurker -- I'm glad that SOMEONE appreciates that I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world.
ReplyDeleteUltimate Straight cracks me up because you know I’m something of a homosexual myself.
ReplyDeleteAmen, to that last meme!!
ReplyDeleteBut I admit that ultimate straight made me laugh.
Let's celebrate Pride all year, not just a day.
Love, love, love those final two messages.
ReplyDeleteI had to steal that kitten meme away. I just loved it.
ReplyDeleteHello Debra, Where did the time go? It seems the month just started!
ReplyDelete--Jim
It was a beautiful month, let's say goodbye!!
ReplyDeleteOMG the kitten one was tooooo cute.
ReplyDeleteUltimate straight! And that kitten with its paw up, so funny! Respect every month, I'm serious.
ReplyDeleteMay the gaiety and its power go forward for the rest of the year.
ReplyDeleteA little over an hour left. Enjoy.
ReplyDeletebeautiful !
ReplyDeletei agree being happy with yourself is most important because this is how you can share the happiness around otherwise if you don't have it inside what will you spread around is only distrust sadly
Translesbigayapalooze may be over but I'm still celebrating! My city moved our Pride parade to July so we've got that to look forward to. I haven't been since well before covid but the ex talked me into going with her this year. Showing up for our people!
ReplyDelete@ e -- Our Edmonton Pride Festival has been moved to August for the first time this year for some mysterious reason. So must wait another couple of months here!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry the Oilers lost the cup... and to FLORIDA of all teams. FFS.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the much needed smiles <3
ReplyDeleteThat month just flew by.. Sorry about the oilers!!
ReplyDeleteI've never been comfortable about coming out. The pendulum swings both ways, you know. Once you're out of the closet, it's really hard to go back in when the pendulum swings back.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, at 60, nobody gives a shit about me or my partner of 35 years.
Now I have the best of both worlds because I'm in the closet sort of....I have a screen door on my closet!!
@ Anonymous -- Yes, I have several friends who are of the same opinion as you, two of whom are in an equally long-term relationship. Whatever works best for you and them is fine! That's what choice is all about.
