I participated in a pride march in an MMO that I play. Never participated in a real life pride event though, maybe I should one day. I know very few people in the LGBTQ community so it feels weird to just go there.

I don't have a flag and I would not put up a flag where I live. There is quite a risk that people would complain, most people are really accepting but so far I have seen only 1 flag in the city where I live. The office where I work did put up a pride flag though, so that was nice.

I had essentially the exact same month. Also, the actual pride event for my area is in July (because that makes complete sense).

I disclosed being trans to more neighbors and relatives, but stayed at home for all pride events. I don't feel safe...

I proposed to my long-term partner, and they said yes! Very excited to be gay and married together ♥️

This was the first year I carried pepper spray, but I still went, and I still carried a flag

My town's Pride isn't too exciting, and I hate how many things about it are paywalled, but I always make it a point to show up and have conversations with people

Came out as a trans enby to the people closest to me. Feel lucky too, because they were all accepting and encouraging. Dysphoria sucks ass though. Most I could do locally so far was to get a referral from my GP to a specialist. The waiting to get on HRT is hard to cope with. Afraid to DIY because of potential health complications.

This was the first year of me experiencing pride month in germany , paying attention to it while also being aware of being trans, even if thats new for me. It's been kinda depressing, between finishing up my bachelors Degree work, no local events and constant bad news internationally about anti trans propaganda working very scarily well, and the german alt-right party winning their first election with a majority vote, its been really depressing honestly...

I also intended to go out and buy some really campy rainbow capitalism merch as like a joke with my GF but sadly even here the pink washing has been toned down by a lot... no campy shirts in sight, just very safe rainbow tote bags or similar things

My friends have known I'm bi for a long while now ... but this month I also came out as genderqueer and updated my HR portal to they/them (brain flowing between he, they and she at times is really confusing to both me and my partner) ...

Been exploring the fem side and attended my first Pride event.

Went into the office with pretty shoes I picked up and a lovely scrunchie and hairband.

Also completely crashed with feeling overwhelmed by it all and starting making steps talking to the doc about it....

So yeah... a pretty rollercoaster of a month.

Didn't really manage to celebrate, but had a good month anyway. Managed to socialise with people I care about and made good progress on my garden! Oh I did use ace dice in my D&D game :D

Sorry that you had a bad month. Hang in there.

Mine was pretty good. I'm not a very social or celebratory person so I didn't hang out in the parade or anything. But I did help out my community by organizing a sober space and providing armed security.

It's always a quiet month for me, as I'm not in a hospitable area for the community. But it's wonderful to see the photos and videos of people coming together anyway around the world, despite the scary times we're in right now. I think times like these are when we need pride celebrations the most.
