Happy Pride month from these baby q***rs, I think you can tell which one is me! 👶
I know it’s been a minute since I made a real post and I was thinking to myself, now is the time ✍️ 📖
What does Pride month mean to me?
It carries a lot of different emotions as it does for most of us I would imagine. There were the years before the realization that I was q***r where pride was an event I got to celebrate with my friends and be an ally to those I loved, including my twin brother. Phil came out as Gay right after high school. It was not an easy road for him and now he is met with constant love and support, plus he’s a real stellar human being who is now raising his own children with his magnificent and very fabulous husband to know what pride and respect means to them.
Pride month is filled with beautiful events (a bit overwhelming at times) and meetups, hikes and parades. This year I even got to help organize a small part of Kingston Pride (June 14-16) 🎉 🎊
To me it’s all about building up our q***r community and always having safe spaces, free events and q***r businesses that we can all go to and support 🌞
It’s about those who came before us who raised their voices, perished and struggled to make it easier for those that would come after them. The connections that I have found in my q***r community are unlike anything I have had my entire life, I am so very very very lucky to live and work in the q***r bubble we call Kingston.
I hope you all have a very magical month, well… many many many months of fun and pride, a lifetime! You are so very loved, and I am so grateful that you chose me to be your little q***r massage therapist.
Stay q***r my peers 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Warmly 💛
Jess
