LGBTQ+

I kind of want to check out my cities local pride events, but I also REALLY get overwhelmed by crowds, noise, and such. Also I don't really have anyone to go with. So I might just celebrate and online. I'll probably just buy a really trashy wlw book or two and read? I'll be open to reading suggestions lol.

I'm working mostly from home, but when I'm in the office I will always wear some kind of pride shirt this month. Otherwise there is not that much happening, at least in RL. We do not have Pride here, "only" Christopher Street Day but that's in July. But I plan to attend there (it's more like a demo, not a parade). Maybe I will finally get in contact with the local queer community. I'm not very social, so I don't like to attend events alone. But pride month might give me a little push :)

If anyone has any queer nonfiction books to suggest, give me all the suggestions. I'm stuck in bed, and also barely any amount of queer anyway, so that's the only queer thing I'd be able to do.

Edit: I should add that I can only do audiobooks, so apologies in advance if I don't have access to your suggestion.

I've been thinking a lot about how polyamory plays into my queerness - I'm lucky enough to have significantly expanded my local chosen family since Pride in 2021, and over the last year our housing situation has gotten much more stable.

I think that I'm almost more committed to polyamory than I am to bisexuality, as a label. I certainly face more problems as a polyamorous person than as a bi one.

Going to my first pride! I've also been really wanting to meet queer people IRL and am going to be volunteering at my local pride events :)

going to my first Pride march this weekend.

Sadly not a lot, well I have to coming out to my employers this month because of my name change (because anyway they will see that my name is now Lily on the pay), they are probably the last people I want to say it. I also bought a pin to put on my shirts with my name and my pronouns, so that's also a plus!

I would love to go to pride, but in my city, there's no pride. But next year i'm going in a bigger city and I will always celebrate pride there

Going to my first Pride not-single

Probably nothing this year... I'm going to have my hands full between work and moving apartments. Next year, however, my girlfriend should be moved in with me and we'll try to make up for lost time!

I painted my nails for the first time, in pursuit of understanding my gender.

Maybe watch some queer-positive TV shows (I don't know of many, anyone got suggestions?) and buy some new pride gear from LGBTQ+ businesses.

Went on a date with both members of a married couple, that's probably the queerest thing so far. And hardly planned it this way but I'm gonna be having facial feminisation surgery in a couple of weeks, so guess that counts?

I'll try to fit in as much gay shit as I possibly can, but that's hardly unique to June.

Orlando is objectively a queer friendly city, but they don't have any pride events in June.

There's an unofficial event each June called "Disney World Gay Days" (not affiliated with Disney themselves, who just treat it like any other summer day), so Orlando moved their pride celebration to October instead. I think it's understandable, but it always sucks to feel left out from the rest of the queer community.

I've actually have never been to Pride, since other things tend to conflict, and social anxiety in general. This year, I will definitely participate (motivated by the phrase: "Pride is a Protest"). I've been "openly queer" for the last 5ish years, but I haven't been "openly trans", but I'm taking steps to own that identity, at least more openly. Perhaps people can clock me as trans, but no one ever says anything, so i think I might currently qualify as "stealth", but I feel like I don't pass. Just in that weird superposition.

I have at least one symbolic gesture I want to make this June. I play Women's Flat Track Roller Derby, and I want to fly the trans flag during my player intro. It's a very small thing to do, but trans athletics has been under attack, so I feel like choosing to be a visible trans athlete is something i need to do

Hopefully, I'll be going to pride with my friends for the first time this year.

My town's parade is in July, so my partner and me might make the trip to one of the nearby cities that have their parade in June. I guess we'll be watching any queer shows and movies that have escaped us so far too. Other than that I'm not really in a festive mood this year... Too stressed with other stuff.

I'm hoping to attend a pride event in-person (I've never been to one!) but I'll have to travel because my city does pride in the fall. Not sure if that will work out :/

Nothing because I'm straight

I'll be attending two pride events, hosting a social event for one of the spaces I'm in, and there's a progress pride flag in my front window.

Plus all of my usual activism.

I went to Pride with my girlfriend, and am now spending the month making as much LGBT+ art that I can.

Melbourne has just opened a WLW and neurodivergent-friendly bar, so my girlfriend and I are hoping to get there this pride month!! It's so exciting to finally have a wlw-dedicated space in Melbourne <3

I’m playing bass for a production of Kinky Boots if that’s anything. I’m also working up the courage to come out to my close friends.

Going to a pride parade in the city soon, and going to drive some of the more inebriated LGBTQ friends of mine home that day too.

My university student pride collective got reached out to by our university's faculty and staff pride collective about the idea of us marching together in our city's parade in August, so this month likely gonna be full of planning for that!

My girlfriend has been binging on Queer Eye and while I'm not a fan of reality TV the cast here is brilliant and seems to genuinely care about what they do.

Got nonbinary laces for the boots I wear, and a couple of rainbow bracelets to wear. Painted my nails red, orange, green, blue and purple, (one colour on each nail). Joined an LGBT+ forum.
