No one should be ashamed of who they are because of their sexuality, gender, or any other part of their identity. Right now, it's
Pride month, baby! That means it's a time to
focus on celebrating
LGBTQ+ people and giving us a voice because much of our history is filled with oppression and discrimination. This does
NOT mean that straight and cisgender people are suddenly
not valid during June. No,
everyone's identity is valid! It just means that June is a time for good straight allies to
put their attention into uplifting the LGBTQ+ community, as opposed to
taking the spotlight away from us. Because June is
specifically a time to give us the spotlight and try to
make up for the discrimination we face. The LGBTQ+ community is very thankful to the allies who help
give us a voice and a platform, and who
don't take away from the
one month out of twelve designated for us. Straight allies and LGBTQ+ pride month are two
very vital things.
I also feel like I must mention that people of color are another oppressed group that is suffering right now, and deserves a voice. I hope I can use my own platform as a white person to remind everyone that black people are murdered in America for being black, and that needs to change.
Black lives matter. Black trans lives matter.Thanks for reading this if anyone did, haha. Please don't start arguments on this post, it just won't end well. I won't reply to replies if I think it will start an argument.
And sorry the drawing's kind of bad
Oekaki isn't my preferred art platform.
