June is a short month and thanks to reactions to outreach efforts by Bud Light and Target, among others, it could prove to be a slightly more tumultuous collection of days than we've had in the months preceding it. And that's too bad.
This is Pride Month. All month. That doesn't just mean THIS month, but the emphasis that the expectations and understanding that equal rights are human rights for everyone are highlighted.
No one should feel threatened by anyone who celebrates themselves this month or at any other time in the course of the year. If you're resentful about 'all the hullaballoo' and are wistful about the good old days and wonder and worry about why we can't return to them, it's because they never existed (and they weren't all that good for a lot of folks).
Human rights aren't pie. Because some folks are just starting to get the opportunities that others of us have had all our lives doesn't in any way diminish our rights and privileges, but most especially our responsibilities to never cease our efforts to make our nation more fair, just, and equitable for ALL of us.
Subject to your questions, this concludes my briefing.
