June Is Pride Month #lgbtq #pridemonth2020

Every year, during the month of June, the LGBT community celebrates in a number of different ways. Across the globe, various events are held during this special month as a way of recognising the influence LGBT people have had around the world. Why was June chosen? Because it is when the Stonewall Riots took place, way back in 1969.

To all my friends in the LGBTQ+ community I stand with you during this Pride Month. I hope for a month of continued advocacy and most importantly inclusion in all of life for you all.

June Is Here, Let’s See What Happens Next

The month of June is upon us. Usually full of vibrancy and color this June seems to be more about what comes next in our world. Let’s see what it has for us.

Quote Of The Day

Certain conditions continue to exist in our society, which must be condemned as vigorously as we condemn riots. But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I Am The Black Sheep

I am a black sheep by nature and by choice. God made me a person who feels and cares deeply about the world around me. I sometimes step on toes and ruffle some feathers in the process. There are more important things than my own popularity and acceptance. As Lady Gaga sings I was born this way and that is the gospel truth.
