Love All Year
I'm currently visiting the Pride at Home sim, and came across this mural on the wall. The sentiment behind this mural is beautiful, however, this mural only portrays the LGBT community in the month of June. Every June we all come out throwing glitter and rainbows acting as though our community is united and supportive of each other. The truth is, as a whole, we're not. The LGBT community is far from inclusive, and that should change. The rampant racism, sexism, transphobia and blatant disrespect for those that are different from us is appalling. We are a community of repressed people that further repress those in our own community.
Please come out of your closets and toss your glitter, wave your rainbow or community flags, be happy and supportive all June long. However, when July 1st comes don't stop being inclusive, supportive and proud. Our FB feeds are full of memes about these companies that go gay for the month of June but when July 1st comes around we are forgotten for another year. Don't be like those companies, keep the love and support year round.
