This month celebrates Pride!
Be it LGBTQIA, BDSM, Sexual Orientation, Gender, or Kink, every single person is included!
To me Pride has always been a way of owning who you are and what you love. I guess in some respects I have always been lucky, I have always unapologetically owned my sexuality, my kinks, my likes and dislikes, and yes, I have been judged. I have been bullied, and I have sometimes felt like the odd one out, I have even hid in a closet (figuratively and literally), but I never felt like sexuality was a bad thing, and I have never apologised.
Of course, some people really struggle, or aren’t in a place where they are safe enough to come out. To those people, I am truly sorry. No one should feel like they can’t be themselves. You are not wrong or broken in any way, just know that one day things might work out, but till then, don’t punish yourself. Just stay safe and come out to someone supportive when you are ready; don’t let anyone force you. It’s also ok to not know who or what you are. Some people work it out earlier in life, others work it out much later; both are completely normal.
The LGBTQIA community has taken huge strides in progress, but there is still so much to do, so much to change, and so many people to educate. I don’t mean that in a hurtful way, but it’s 2019, people! Acceptance and ‘love is love’ should just be the norm. As of 2019, this is the state of pride as shown by Google.
There are still changes that need to be made! But you should always celebrate the victories, no matter how small.
That’s why Pride month is important, as said above, isn’t just for the LGBTQIA, it’s for everyone! That’s the whole point, everybody is accepted. I mean, unless you’re a rapist, pedophile, or something like that, in which case nobody likes you and please go take a good, hard look in the mirror and get off our blog!
I digress. It’s about letting that freak flag fly and just being you.
To celebrate this month, why not take the Kinsey scale quiz? To work out where you fall on the scale, because in this day and age, there is no way you are 100% Straight, no matter how hard you tell yourself this.
Find your flag and embrace it; get confused by the literal millions of variations. I have only shown you some, but look them up.
Most importantly, explore, work out what is right for you, and don’t judge others for doing the same. After all…….
