I participated in a pride march in an MMO that I play. Never participated in a real life pride event though, maybe I should one day. I know very few people in the LGBTQ community so it feels weird to just go there.

I don’t have a flag and I would not put up a flag where I live. There is quite a risk that people would complain, most people are really accepting but so far I have seen only 1 flag in the city where I live. The office where I work did put up a pride flag though, so that was nice.

I disclosed being trans to more neighbors and relatives, but stayed at home for all pride events. I don’t feel safe…

I had essentially the exact same month. Also, the actual pride event for my area is in July (because that makes complete sense).

This was the first year I carried pepper spray, but I still went, and I still carried a flag

My town’s Pride isn’t too exciting, and I hate how many things about it are paywalled, but I always make it a point to show up and have conversations with people

Came out as a trans enby to the people closest to me. Feel lucky too, because they were all accepting and encouraging. Dysphoria sucks ass though. Most I could do locally so far was to get a referral from my GP to a specialist. The waiting to get on HRT is hard to cope with. Afraid to DIY because of potential health complications.

I proposed to my long-term partner, and they said yes! Very excited to be gay and married together ♥️

This was the first year of me experiencing pride month in germany , paying attention to it while also being aware of being trans, even if thats new for me. It’s been kinda depressing, between finishing up my bachelors Degree work, no local events and constant bad news internationally about anti trans propaganda working very scarily well, and the german alt-right party winning their first election with a majority vote, its been really depressing honestly…

I also intended to go out and buy some really campy rainbow capitalism merch as like a joke with my GF but sadly even here the pink washing has been toned down by a lot… no campy shirts in sight, just very safe rainbow tote bags or similar things

Sorry that you had a bad month. Hang in there.

Mine was pretty good. I’m not a very social or celebratory person so I didn’t hang out in the parade or anything. But I did help out my community by organizing a sober space and providing armed security.

It’s always a quiet month for me, as I’m not in a hospitable area for the community. But it’s wonderful to see the photos and videos of people coming together anyway around the world, despite the scary times we’re in right now. I think times like these are when we need pride celebrations the most.

Been OK. Used to go on marches but my partner’s recent operation has reduced that quite a bit. We used to go every year here in London (and sometimes Brighton). We saw Pride in Canada a few years ago… it was odd to us seeing our hotel celebrating it.

I still remember my first gay pride march in the mid '80s when it was political in the UK, and we marched outside No 10 Downing St and yelled “Gay Rights!” back then.
