Hey Hippies! 🪬
Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
For the 2SLGBGTQIA+ community, Pride means to live our truths unapologetically; celebrate all that we’ve fought for over the years; our liberation, support, and the power and beauty of loving one another.
• Although the 2SLGBTQIA+ community has made many strides, individuals have faced exclusion or condemnation from mainstream religious institutions. As a result, there have been movements toward reclaiming spiritual practices that resonate on a personal level. This often involves exploring alternative spiritual endeavors or revisiting traditions that are more inclusive.
• Both the 2SLGBTQIA+ & spiritual communities offer valuable support networks and a sense of belonging by defying the stereotypes of mainstream society.
Here are a few ways to support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community:
- Ask what someone’s pronouns are in conversation.
- Try not to assume someone else’s gender if you don’t know them.
- Watch shows, movies, or consume media with q***r and/or trans representation.
- Embrace friends, family, and loved ones who come out to you.
- Learn their new name and don’t use their previous name.
- Respect their new identity whether they’ve decided to have gender affirming surgery or not.
- Find it in your heart to become a safe haven for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community by continuously educating yourself. ❤️
Love,
Detroit Hippie Chick 🔮🐞💕
