June is Pride month! It's about recognizing the impact that the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) community has had locally and across the world. It's about being inclusive and honoring others for who they are. We all want that for ourselves ~ for others to honor who we are, invite us in, and recognize the ways we contribute to making the world a better place. In this episode, I share a brief history of Pride Month and the 1969 uprising that led to the gay rights movement. It’s a reminder that you can unfairly and unjustly push people only so far before they start to fight back and demand that they be respected as fellow human beings. Together, let’s continue to lead the way in recognizing and honoring others for who they are and seeing our own humanity in one another.
