I haven’t done that many Pride Month special posts on this site. I tend to just sprinkle posts about LGBT issues throughout the year as their own thing. I have a bit of a complicated relationship with the current state of Pride month you see.
I feel like a lot of companies change their logos to rainbow versions and give some surface-level lip service during the month of June as a performance of support and then go right back to ignoring homophobia or even supporting companies that openly espouse it. It feels a bit hollow.
On the other hand, I think representation is important. I go to Pride celebrations in Montreal almost every year and let me tell you, it’s amazing. And the actual sentiments and needs that brought Pride into being are things that I happen to stand behind.
As such, I have adopted a generally relaxed embrace of Pride on this blog. I will make a post to acknowledge June as Pride month but generally, I will just post LGBTQ content whenever I feel like it or have something to say. This means I have a bit of it throughout my blog that’s not always easy to find if you happen to be specifically looking for it.
So this year, I’m going to give you a handy list of potential Pride reading on my blog. I hope you like it!
