Resolve to help make true equality come

All month we have celebrated LGBTQ+ Pride, and that has even been our focus here in this space.  For many people though, tomorrow will be a return to things not as happy and joyous.  People go to Pride celebrations in part to celebrate freedom and equality, but sadly, there are many places where that doesn't exist.

Looking at the history and the trailblazers and the changes in attitude is good to do each year.  There still is a long way to go though before everyone is treated with dignity and respect.  There are those who are still trying to pass laws that take away basic human rights.

How wonderful it would be if there were no need for Pride events.  How great if society treated all people equally and with true justice and respect.  Sadly, that isn't the case.  

Tomorrow, instead of going back to a business as usual attitude, think about these past thirty days.  Be happy for the celebrations.  Be happy for the advancements.  Be happy for the tremendous strides over the past few decades the progress in visibility.  Be happy that marriage equality is the law now in much of the world.  Do not forget, while being happy, that there still is a long way to go and resolve to help make that true equality day come.
