according to Truthout, there have been more than 850 anti-LGBTQ bills filed nationwide so far in 2025. the Trump Admin has issued Executive Orders aiming at limiting Federal protections & rights for LGBTQ people, particularly against but not limited to our trans community. Project 2025, adopted by the Trump Admin, seeks to limit & in some cases eliminate Federal protections for LGBTQ people, yet provides protections for those who discriminate against LGBTQ people. this is one important reason why we have Pride Month.

another reason – equally & maybe even more important – is to publicly embody the joy of who we are. to promote visibility for those who are struggling & may be thinking they do not have place in this world. to those individuals i want to say YOU DO BELONG. you are an embodiment of sacred love & beauty just as much as anyone else is. YOU ARE LOVED, just as you are in your unique & precious incarnation.

for my part, my coming out, my coming home to who i am in this life, in this body, was a liberation into Love. knowing that my life, my orientation, can be an instrument to open closed hearts, calling closed hearts into understanding & increased capacity to love. i see it as part of my work in this life & my vow to be in service to Love, to share love, & embody love for the benefit of all.

Happy Pride Month!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
