What are you doing for Pride this week? (7-13 June)
Pride month has already started, so - as per the title - what are you doing for Pride this week?
Are there any cool events where you live? Is the encroaching summer making it hard to choose between hugging the AC and ironing your flags? Are you still in the closet, and would you like to vent about it?
I serve as a leader on the pride employee resource group at my work and we're doing lots of stuff for pride.
This week I just got finished writing up two short educational pieces - one on straightwashing and another on the equality act. I'm helping to monitor chat for an event today in roughly an hour, and we have another planning meeting this week on Wednesday. I had a meeting yesterday to discuss with panelists about an event I will be moderating and serving as a panelist as next week that we've titled 'bring a straight friend' which is meant to be a semi-informal discussion among queer panelists and their straight friends they are bringing along as a way to allow them to ask hard questions in a safe environment and to help model this kind of behavior for others so that they can better connect with friends with intersectional identities with which they don't fully understand. I'm on deck for organizing this so I sent out notes, started a discussion so we can have more defined questions to fall back on, and started gathering photos and identities for a short slide deck to open the panel.
Things not pride related - I've been incredibly busy lately and one exciting thing is that I'm trying to place an offer on a place in SF. I'd love to be closer to the queers I regularly visit (partners and otherwise) and excited to be moving to a much gayer city in the near future.
i've been utterly outhomo'd
haha it's not a competition! If you feel like you want to do more, go for it fam 💜
Quite the opposite, really! Gaywallet’s advocacy and efforts help support us and our whole community. We’re not being outhomo’d; we’re being prohomo’d!
A rising tide lifts all boats just like a rainbow advocate emboldens all colors. :)
This is very much on the boring and uneventful side of things, but I started up Visible: Out on Television which is a documentary miniseries on LGBT representation on TV. It's very well made, and I'm finding it thoroughly informative and interesting (and this is coming from someone who doesn't watch a lot of TV).
nothing, lol
