Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia & Biphobia...A reminder that supporting & protecting the LGBTQ+ community is more important than ever right now...

At a time when so many people still face discrimination, fear & attacks on their identity, it’s important to keep showing up for one another, amplifying LGBTQ+ voices, and protecting the right for everyone to live openly and authentically.

And as Pride Month approaches, may we never lose sight of what Pride truly stands for at its core. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 💗💜💙

Today is National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day... ❤️ A day to recognize, appreciate, and uplift the LGBT elders who paved the way for equality, rights, visibility, and social acceptance - creating space for future generations to live louder, prouder, and freer. Your impact will never be forgotten... 🏳️‍🌈
