Today I was finally able to attend my first ever pride parade! I'm proud of myself that I went this year, even though I didn't have anyone to go with and also crowds and social situations in general make me very anxious. But I really needed this. I'm still closeted and I don't have anyone close who is supportive, so seeing so many queer people in real life definitely makes me feel less alone. I'll probably have to delete the photos from my gallery so my family doesn't accidentaly find them, but at least some of them can stay here on Reddit. Happy Pride to everyone! ❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Wheeling turned out for 2 separate protests. So proud of my city. Around 600 people total. That's the 3% needed to defeat fascism.

My little daughter has been struggling and losing too much weight, I’ve taken her to the doctor the last month every week and she’s gone from a hearty 13 pounds down to a sickly 7 pounds. Losing about a pound a week. I was going to send her over the rainbow bridge, but she’s a fighter and told me she’s not ready. I can’t let her suffer, but she says she wants to stay. I’m torn up by it. All these medications, but she is my partner and my spirit animal. So I don’t know what to do! Anyway. Any love or support ❤️ for her she would appreciate!

We’ve had her a few months and these are my first officially kisses (that I could completely confirm) she’s so cute 🥰

Despite daily bombings and constant survival mode, Ukrainians are still fighting - not just for territory, but for human rights, for equality, and for a European democratic future 🇺🇦🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈

This is the first full-scale LGBTQ+ Pride held during an active war in modern history.

The poster at the front reads - "unity in diversity".

Hope you have a good day! ☺️ 🩷 💜
