Like a symphony that harmoniously keeps the sound of music alive, the rights and dignity of every individual in this world matter. As we raise our voices to fight for what is right and let our colors fly, we go on a journey of acceptance, freedom, and pride. As much as society has advanced in terms of acceptance for the LGBTQIA+ community, there is still much more work to be done.
Remember, Pride is about pushing the boundaries for everyone in the community to have equal rights and be treated fairly. This is for those who are not visible, heard, and underestimated by society because of who they are. Also, Pride serves as a reminder that individuals who were once excluded deserve to take up space.
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD
Pride serves as a powerful reminder that the community deserves its time in the spotlight. Our fight was for sure nurtured by what happened around the world, but it isn’t over. Pride spawned a multitude of emotions, perspectives, and most importantly, self-expression. We owe this to the people behind the Stonewall Riots, which started back on June 28, 1969. Fearlessly raising the Pride flag and paving the way for a bolder and brighter future for the community. Their stories must be remembered not just because of their bravery but also for what they left behind in this kaleidoscope world.
PURSUIT OF EQUALITY
Truth be told, progress has been made over the years and laws have been passed to different countries around the world. But this doesn’t mean that everything is perfect because discrimination is still around. You don’t have to look far for it to find it. Real action should come from pushing aside biases and making sure safe spaces are that, places where we can feel comfortable to be who we are.
Giving light to the people within this community is what matters, not saddling them with double standards. On all fronts, we champion what is right and just to give the next generation a better future. It requires voices to be heard, laws to be passed, narratives to be seen, and most importantly, unconditional acceptance, not tolerance, by our society. Embracing the brilliance of each one’s identity and self-expression for a better future.
THE UNFINISHED STORY
As we strive and prosper for a better world, as mundane as it may seem, we amplify our voices louder than ever. This is not just a simple narrative to be written but a narrative where everyone in our community matters. As the rainbow flag rises to new heights, let it serve as a reminder of what different colors truly signify. The community has long struggled with people who can’t truly accept that we are here. Now, imagine a world where everyone is the same, a world within reach and the story continues to unfold with hope and unwavering determination.
