Hello and happy pride month! It might not be June yet for some, but it is for me; I'm in a different time zone right now.

To the mods: I know our old thread got closed, but it’s June and we deserve pride.
To everyone: here are some rules/things you should read before responding to this thread:
Do not come on here to say homophobic or transphobic comments. This is a safe space for LGBTQ+ members and allies, and it should be treated as such.
Do not start arguments on this thread or it will get closed again. This is not the place for ridiculing LGBTQ+ people, nobody needs discrimination on a chicken forum of all places.
Please make sure what you’re posting is not offensive or attacking LGBTQ+ people to avoid arguments and hurting people’s feelings.

Somebody should post some history

I'll start:

So we actually DID fight for our rights! It all started with the stonewall riots.

""The Stonewall riots (also referred to as the Stonewall uprising or the Stonewall rebellion) were a series of spontaneous demonstrations by members of the gay (LGBT) community in response to a police raid that began in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood. of Manhattan, New York City. Patrons of the Stonewall, other Village lesbian and gay bars, and neighborhood street people fought back when the police became violent. The riots are widely considered to constitute one of the most important events leading to the gay liberation movement and the twentieth-century fight for LGBT rights in the United States."

"Following the Stonewall Riots, organizers wanted to build on that spirit of resistance. The following year, they organized a march to Central Park, and adopted the theme of “Gay Pride” as a counterpoint to the prevailing attitude of shame. That march down Christopher Street soon expanded to other cities, with many more joining in year over year through the 1970s until Pride became the massive celebration that we know today."

And remember

"As Pride has grown, so has commercial and corporate influence. That’s led to concerns that Pride is moving away from its protest roots and becoming a party, at a time when there’s still a lot of work to be done — not just for the LGBTQ+ community, but for communities that overlap."

Now, lets remember where we came from, what we've achieved, and were we are going! Happy pride everybody!!
