Before the Parade Passes By

LGBTQ Pride Parades will be happening many places today, including San Francisco where I participated for so many years.  Before the parade passes by though I want to say a few more things about LGBTQ history and all of these events.

 

All this month I have broken from writing about various ways we can make a difference and I have focused of the many people and events that have helped improve conditions and promote equality for our LGBTQ sisters and brothers.  There are so many more stories that can be told.  I'd like to invite you once again to share your own stories in the comments section below. 

 

I world is a better place and so many good people have done good things, but we still have a long way to go.  People should fell safe wherever they are and at all times, not just at celebrations one month out of the year.  Together, we can make the world a better place.  Let's always stand against hate.

 

Oh and about those parades, there was a time when there would be little media coverage.  Today many of the parades are being televised live!  Watch live coverage from New York HERE beginning at noon Eastern Time and watch the San Francisco parade live HERE beginning at 10:30am Pacific Time.  Happy Pride everyone!
