    Currently spending time in New orleans and there where floats and dancing in the streets everywhere. Wife and me loved the energy 🏳️‍⚧️

    It was cool that is happened on the day celebrating Estor the goddess of springtime this year.

      This has nothing to do with sexual orientation. It sounds you’re lacking some information, would you like me to explain, or would you prefer to remain ignorant?

    We have a whole month for this cause and it isn’t March, it’s June. It’s bad to weaken branding of such a highly successful campaign.

      Transgender Day of Visibility has been going on for 15 years. Transgender Awareness month is in November. If you’re talking about June for Pride month, that’s different.

      Here’s a great short film just released by PFLAG: https://pflag.org/piecesofme/

        I did not know. Thanks.

        I still think it would be more appropriate and effective to consolidate similar holidays/acknowledgements/celebrations/etc if the desire is to bring awareness.

        I already have a display planned for June to support the LGBT community; I’ll stick with that for now. Despite the tone of my original post, I do support the cause.

        It’s just easier and more effective if, in the case of LGBT celebrated in June, people and corporations jointly bring awareness and celebrate inclusiveness together to make a statement. Fracturing cohesiveness by alternative dates or sheer redundancy tends to weaken awareness campaigns, cause confusion and can actually, as evident in my post above, be a disservice to the message.

          I do understand your point, but I have to give the same response as what I’ve given those who complain about the acronym being too long or changing too frequently: there’s no executive council in charge of the queer community. George Takei and Ellen aren’t meeting every week to add another letter and holiday. These things just happen, for better or worse.

            Ahhh true. I did assume some organized effort.
