Pride Month

Being a lesbian in the 1980s. Top Story - June 2025.
Leaping Lesbians was always my favorite pride month song we'd drink beer on the patio and everyone would sing along -=-

Since it's pride month, I have been working on a few Pride poems. I usually consider all my love poems Pride poems, but I know there's much more to it than my mushy lesbian poems so I am going to share a few of my new ones.

Xtra Xtra. Top Story - June 2025.
There is something that needs to be said during pride month. At least something that I need to remind myself. That I don’t need to be out to everyone during that month. And that I don’t need to be a model trans man. Nor do I need to be the perfect model of gay either. As I am asexual and aromantic. What I also don’t need to do is get into a relationship anytime soon either.

the first pride flag i ever touched was at a thrift store
it was tucked between a christmas sweater with a broken reindeer and a blazer that smelled like mothballs and old perfume

my pronouns live in the space between heartbeats

the mirror in my childhood bedroom still doesn't recognize me
the same mirror that watched me try on my mother's lipstick at seven practice kissing my own hand at thirteen cry over breakups

Pride 2025 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
June is Pride Month, and I want to extend my support, care, and empathy to the LGBTQIA folks. The world right now is a hot mess and I know many LGBTQIA folks who are fearful because of laws constantly being talked about to make these folks feel “less than”.

i kept all my old clothes in a garbage bag for three years
the black hefty bag sat in the corner of my closet for three years two months and sixteen days but who's counting right?

learning to love the sound of my own voice
the first time i heard myself on a recording i wanted to disappear that voice high and thin like glass breaking was supposed to be mine

the first time someone called me by my chosen name
i practiced it in the mirror for months rolling the syllables around my tongue like a prayer i was afraid to say out loud
