Happy Pride! My favorite part of smaller local pride events are the kids who get to see queer and trans adults just out here celebrating our lives and culture and bodies. So much shame could’ve been erased in my life if I could have known what my future could look like, that I could be loved. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
