Happy Pride, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]!🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Published 28 days ago • 1 min read

Are you ready for a month full of rainbows, glitter, and queer joy?

I sure am. But I'm also keeping in mind that Pride started as a protest, and that protest is still going on.

Yes, wear that rainbow t-shirt. But also think about what you can do to support the queer and trans communities this month.

To get you started, I'll be highlighting a few businesses in each email during June. Have fun in your support!

I got my hair cut recently, and I was talking to my stylist about being an ally to the queer community. She nodded along, then after a while asked, “So… what’s an ally?” I forgot that not everyone knows what an ally is! I told her that an ally is someone from a non-marginalized group who uses their privilege to advocate for a marginalized group. They transfer the benefits of their privilege to those who lack it.
