Mine was kinda bad. Got a flag and stuff that I keep hidden just was really depressed for the whole month. I’ve been going through a lot.
At least I made some bi stuff and obtained a pride flag
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).
Same here, mine are in July as well and in the past that has usually felt like it extended Pride month for me. This year is different though. I can’t believe I miss rainbow capitalism.
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 ♥️
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.
Glad you were OK. I’m just not sure how I’m meant to keep going, is it OK if I open up?
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.
Been OK. Used to go on marches but my partner’s recent operation has reduced that quite a bit. We used to go every year here in London (and sometimes Brighton). We saw Pride in Canada a few years ago… it was odd to us seeing our hotel celebrating it.
I still remember my first gay pride march in the mid '80s when it was political in the UK, and we marched outside No 10 Downing St and yelled “Gay Rights!” back then.
