Happy Pride Month! 🌈
Each year when all the rainbows appear I am reminded of what Pride is really about. It's about authenticity, love, human connection, and the right to be oneself and to love who you love without fear of persecution or harm.
I remember when I was first coming out I felt tremendous fear that I would disappoint my parents and honestly whomever I might meet in my life. It was a challenging time in my mid twenties and it wasn't until I moved to the Pioneer Valley in Massachusetts that I really began to see myself differently and lean into all the parts of who I am.
I am very grateful for my family and wife who love and support me, but that kind of love is not always given to members of the LGBTQ community. Please be kind and open to what makes each person special.
I am wishing you all a Pride month filled with kindness, love, fun and acceptance. Take good care of each other. xoxo 🤩 🌈 🎀 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
