[Vol. 47] Some Things You Should See
It’s Pride month! Still!
If you’ve enjoyed this newsletter, forward it to someone. That’s Gay is all about pride, so let’s share it.
Thanks for helping to grow the community :) I *quite literally* could not do it without you <3
Happy Friday, ya’ll :)
So as I’m a strong believer that every solid relationship is built on trust, I’m not going to lie to you here.
I got super distracted with other work yesterday, and after a late-night spent binging my new favorite TV show (Netflix’s Grace and Frankie – highly recommend), I slept in today.
I slept in hard.
Long story short, if I want to get the letta’ out on time today, I gotta keep it short and sweet.
I thought about how to do that for a while this morning, then I sipped my coffee and stared out the window a bit, waved my roommate goodbye to her first day of work *in the physical office* (they grow up so fast 😢 ), and then, finally, it came to me.
Pride month is all about celebrating pride – everyone’s pride, across the LGBTQ+ community. As such, I think the month should really be about raising the voices of others.
Yes, consequentially, that’s also very convenient for me and the current predicament I’m in, but honestly, I found some good shit to share (I even teared up a bit on one of the articles).
So, without further ado, here are some articles, videos & posts by LGBTQ+ creatives that made me think, laugh, and cry.
*Ok, not all of them made me cry, but as crying to something is subjective, I’ll let you decide which ones are tear jerkers.
I highly suggest you give one or two a read, watch, or at the very least, a skim :)
