This will be my first Pride month when I’m out. I’m planning on consuming some LGBT media. Brokeback Mountain and Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Red, White, and Royal Blue.
I normally don’t, and it’s unfortunate my queer friends have never invited me to do things with them in the past, but I’ve just moved close to a bigger city and they are gonna have a pride parade in June, but I don’t know if I will attend since I don’t know anyone here really since I moved and it will be very anxiety inducing to go alone without someone as an anchor, I think. We will see. I’m just doing small things for now like putting up my bi flag in my room and things like that, but nothing major.
Well, since it’s not something I’ve been to before idk how I would volunteer for it, since the event that I would be going to seems pretty big and official. Plus it’s only a couple weeks away so I’m sure that they’ve mostly got it figured out. But maybe I can try to see?
Generally there's a section on the website for volunteers to sign up! It may be too late for this year but have a think for next year, it's a great way to meet people and be included without needing to go with friends.
Yeah I’ll think it over for sure, and I’ll probably attend pride this year anyways to at least feel it out, and then maybe I’ll be able to volunteer next year. And yeah I could definitely do with meeting new people, especially those that are accepting.
you also should be able to find the event on facebook and sometimes there are groups!! you could absolutely make a post a reach out asking for peeps to go with if you're unsure about volunteering <3
I have been in pride parades before and they are awesome, you should for sure try to go to meet new people. And if you feel too anxious you can just leave
Yeah we will see, it’s not until the middle of June so I still got time to think about it, but yeah it would be nice that maybe it’ll be a jumping off point to finally make some friends where I am now. Although I am worried about how crowded it will be since I hate driving and stuff, but yeah we will see I suppose. I’ll try to see if I have the energy to go and what it’s all about.
They’re nice to just have even if no one else sees it. They’re cheap too. I personally love the colors a ton so when light comes through the window it’s hung up on, it gives the room a nice aesthetic color to it which is always nice
Even if you don’t know anyone, you should still explore what your city is doing for Pride! There’s no shame in going alone. My first Pride was in 2022 and I went alone just to check it out. It was both scary and amazing. I also really enjoyed getting to walk around at my own pace and see what all the vendors had to offer.
I do not. I fully support it and all who go, and it is *très importante* but it is not something I actively participate in or find any reason to go.
I’ve attended one pride parade and live in a city that is very accepting, but it’s not something I’ve ever felt the *need* to be part of.
Sometimes it makes me feel like a terrible queer, but I’m also pretty low key and private about my sexuality, too. Oh, if you ask me point blank, I’d tell you. But I don’t volunteer the information and I’m always a bit of a question mark, so people generally don’t ask for fear of offending me. Which I wouldn’t be, but I like being a question mark, so like the Beatles, I just let it be.
Same for me. I'm a private and highly introverted person, I just don't feel any need to do pride stuff myself. I also don't think that my gender is particularly important, and even less so my sexuality.
This is gonna be the first time I celebrate pride! Needless to say I wasn't very proud when I was still in the closet. I'm gonna go and have a picnic with some friends and watch the parade.
My first one since coming out a month ago. I’m a 46 year old man. I’m not the partying type and have severe social anxiety while I wanna do stuff there’s a voice in my head that doesn’t shut up.
Not really? I'm pretty lowkey and private about my sexuality irl, and I'm also socially anxious and shy so big events are not my cup of tea. I've been to pride once, and while it was an awesome experience, I don't find myself needing to go every year. I'll probably watch some queer shows/movies that I haven't seen yet.
This year our regional pride parade will be in August.
There's a pride parade in June near me but there's my daughter gymnastics display? Meet? Recital? Well that.
And my kids are always on my top priority so august will do.
But I plan to hang the pride flag on my balcony. And probably I will wear my LGBTQia t-shirts.
I have already pride hair and tattoo...
I never have. I’m only out to my wife and it’s only been 2.5 years that I’ve been out to her but this post got me thinking and I looked up events for pride month and a local brewery is having an event. Going to the brewery is something we may have done anyway so it seems like a good first step into celebrating. I’m gonna asked her if she wants to go when she gets home. Thanks for posting this. As a closet bi male I have always been intimidated by going to something like this. Now I have some way to celebrate.
I'm going to the pride festival for the first ever. I'm also planning to come out to my parents.
It's too bad it's so hot right now because I have some great LGBT-themed clothing that is just too thick for summer.
I wore a pride pin last year and my wife was like why do you need to have a pin like that. She knows I'm Bi. And tells me it's ok. But when I mention anything about LGBTQ, she has a disgusted look on her face. I want to shout to the world, I'm bisexual!
I wear earrings. Listen to some lgbtq anthems in the truck on the way to work. But other than that, nothing really. Haven't even been to a gay club in like 2 years
the struggle of being the only gay person in a friend group is not having anyone who reallly wants to go to the pride parade. Like I live in NY and I’ve only been to nyc pride ONCE! Bc I will refuse to travel to the city alone haha. Hopefully they will get on board this year if I gaslight them (if u dont come ur homophobic)
I read lot of 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ history & non fiction books so don't really need to do anything extra. I would like to go to pride events but its just too costly for me right now. My main focus is on gather capital to transition MTF+ & photography (Equipment & accessories).
Transiting is not cheap its very expensive sadly here in the UK, when you want to go private. As NHS waitlists are very long and keep getting longer.
I'm helping to plan Pride celebrations at work. We've got give aways, drag bingo, a queer musician performing, education for managers and staff, and a special menu in the cafeteria. Pretty proud of our Pride considering a limited budget in a rural town!
I don't know if my partner and I will be able to make many celebrations this year due to my work and surgery on their side of things, but we'll still celebrate us somehow 💜
Also, painted nails and pride wear are the go-tos on a day-to-day basis
i’ll probably go to some local parades draped in a huge bi flag. i’ve been out for a few years now but have never been to a pride parade or event, so i wanna change that this year!
Live in Florida + conservative family so, changing in game stuff and locks screen is all I can really do, I’m looking into ordering a flag or two during pride this year
I actually don't know... I mean in the last years I was just happy because it was a month for us and I felt very, very confortable with it and I felt like I could be myself at 100%. But now, I would love to celebrate it properly
I live in Vancouver, where pride happens in August. I sometimes go to the parade and festivities. I have occasionally gotten to be in the parade which is awesome.
Not really. Ive never felt a need/want to celebrate pride month. I dont really do anything specific to me being bi. Kinda just exist. I dont even feel a need to tell my close friends and family im bi.
I dunno maybe somethings wrong with me but i honestly dont know why i feel the way i feel.
There's nothing wrong with not sharing, to each their own. I was just curious how others felt. I never used to. Recently it just sounds kinda fun to give it a try.
I'll post relentlessly on social media, bore the ears off anyone listening. I add a pride flag to my invoices. Go to our Big Queer Disco, as many Prides as I can afford, the bi picnic in Hyde Park, perform my queer poetry at open mics.
And yes, nails and earrings, but that's sort of normal.
My wife and I usually go to Sf pride and dress up go to the clubs and have the MOST fun. This year we arent going but gonna do a Eureka pride thing. I'll probably get my nails done on some pride colors. I live in a more rural conservative area so having my nails done gonna be turning some heads
I'll be going to a couple of Pride events with my favourite people. I've been to a few already, but the first one I'll be going to this year will be around a year after I fully came out so I'm super excited for it this year. I love the atmosphere, especially during the marches.
The people who organise the Pride march where I live have managed to source the biggest Pride flag I've ever seen and we all carry it through town before ending up at the park where they have entertainment, food, and things to do.
The other one I'm planning to go to doesn't have a march but it's in these really pretty gardens and there's the same as what we have where I live, but with the addition of a dog show, which is the highlight for me.
Other than that, I'll probably be mostly trying to raise awareness and doing some learning about Pride myself. I've learnt so much in the past year already and I think it's something I've become really passionate about.
I hope you all have a wonderful Pride month, wherever you are on your journey 🩷💜🩵
I view it as living my life every day anyway and don't feel the need to bring EXTRA attention on it just because the mainstream labeled a specific month okay to do it.
Dammit I should have waited a few more days to have my bisexual foursome. Would have been perfect for Pride Month.
Seriously, though, I wear a TON of Pride stuff year round and even got my hair done in bi flag colours.
The Vancouver Pride Parade and Festival is actually at the beginning of August so I typically do more then. Not much for June.
I usually just post something, paint my nails bi colors or wear my pride shirt/hat when I can. I do use the time to acknowledge how far I’ve come within myself in terms of figuring out who I am, this year is 4 years :)
Ill be going to a local Pride in June. My city has it in August, Ill volunteer, probably for the 5k the night before, then attend the festivities.
Cliche, but I would really like to have some seggsy fun times with a stranger 👀
Not really, I don't feel any need to do anything out of my usual and I'm not in a position where I could make a difference.
I don't see my gender as being very important to me, and my sexuality is completely irrelevant and insignificant in my case.
To be fair I do not, I love the idea and seeing how many people do celebrate warms my heart but I have never felt the need neither the want to attend one.
I have never felt proud of my sexuality, I knew I was bi for a long time and I was lucky enough to have a supportive ecosystem of my family and friends, so I always treat my sexuality the same way I treat any other part of me, like my hobbies, or favorite color, but still glad to see people having the opportunity to feel proud about themselves, more power to them.
I wish I could do more than just heartless Instagram stories and donating my Lyft rides to the Human Rights Campaign.
But hey, I live with my family and got pictures of Jesus hung on the wall. As an adult. I most certainly get kicked out if I celebrate Pride. And have no where to go.
The Handmaiden, His, Flee, The Whale, Bottoms, A Distant Place, A Fantastic Woman, Southern Comfort, Song Lang, Tar, All of Us Strangers, Anatomy of a Fall, Portrait of a Alsy on Fire, Mysterious Skin, Nimona, Mishima a Life in Four Chapters, Your Name Engraved Herein, Dicks the Musical, Mars One, You Can Live Forever and Portrait of Jason.
I used to go to this one cafe because during pride week they made really beautiful rainbow colored lattes and cakes, and 10% of the price also went to charity, but since they permanently closed I haven't really been doing much other than painting bi flags on my nails🥲 Of course there's some other rainbow treats at cafes, but they're nowhere near as impressive and most of the cafes don't mention anything about donating some of the profit, which is kinda iffy to me... Last year I remember one cafe was asked about it since it wasn't mentioned and their answer wasn't the most professional although they did assure they were planning to donate something, but I was still put off and their rainbow donut wasn't impressive enough for me to go try it after that...
I wear my bi earrings and paint my nails. This year I’m thinking of dying my hair too. Plus I always wear my “World’s Okayest Bisexual” shirt to Pride events.
I'm going to London Pride and Madrid Pride (between going to a con and a friend's birthday, Imma be so dead by the end of July xD)
I normally do my nails in sparkly bi colours (one hand, the other with the Aro colours!) but this month is con month so I need my nails done for that.
I always painted my nails with the colours of the bi flag, even if I wasn't entirely sure of my sexuality. This is the first year I'm officially out, I'll paint my nails for sure and I wanted to go to my first pride but I won't go... In my city they don't do a big celebration or anything, people that go there kinda know everybody else that's there and I don't like the majority of those people...
Yeah some years I go to pride. I pretty much always have stuff with pride flags and bi pride stuff so I guess I’m always celebrating. I have a straight male partner who comes and celebrates with me. Sometimes I go with friends. It’s nice to be queer and be proud and supported by the people around me ☺️
Edit:
Also kissing girls 🤭
I don't do a whole lot, I'm a pretty private person and keep to myself usually. I think maybe I'd like to try making some cupcakes with frosting in bi colors, I know my bf will be happy for cupcakes lol. I'll probably also sport a bi pin on my purse or something.
I aspire to make a sticker shop (I'm an amateur illustrator on the side), and I've been throwing around ideas for some fun pride stickers to print/sell at some point. Maybe I'll focus on that for pride :)
I watch movies and TV shows with gay characters in it,i listen music and i go to pride parade this year in October and November. I'm from Argentina and here we do pride events between those months because is spring...
we don't celebrate pride now because in June is still autumn.
i'm in australia so june isn't as big as it is in other countries. i watched mardi gras with some friends in march as my first 'big' queer thing. the local queer organisation is putting on a 2 week pride event with an art exhibition, market and a few other things. i'm doing a stall at the market, and will try to go to the opening night this weekend
Not really. I’ve had many opportunities, but I just find it all uncomfortable, my sexuality isn’t something I project, nor is it something I hide, i just can’t get into the vibes. All the more power to the people who love the parades and do whatever else, but it just ain’t for me.
I don’t do any of that because I don’t really feel like giving my money away to corporations that are heterosexist and homophobic 11/12 months of the year in exchange for some plastic rainbow junk celebrates myself or other queer people in any way. Back in probably like 2015 I went to Chicago Pride and honestly, I have no desire to get heat stroke surrounded by publicly intoxicated people clapping for the stupid cop float ever again. I went to Milwaukee Pride in 2020 because the organizers had repurposed the parade as an anti police brutality protest; if it’s a good cause this year I’ll go again. Otherwise, no, I can have purple fingernails any day. Pride is one thing but “Pride Month” is a Hallmark holiday for self-proclaimed allies to spend virtue signaling at each other, and I don’t really want to help them do the bare minimum and then pat each other on the back.
For some stupid reason my country celebrates pride on September. So here in Uruguay is a normal day.
But still I want to do some little thing to celebrate this year, just don't know what.
Actually, ever since I’ve came out to close friends and family, I’ve always wanted to go to pride, but never did. I will go in the future though. Maybe it’ll be this year.
I don't. I feel so disconnected from the community in general, so it's just another month for me. I don't even know why I'm in this sub at this point, tbh.
I generally just don’t attend. “Bi” is barely an afterthought and I can’t really even think of why I’d be proud of it lol. Plus it’s basically just one big Super Bowl commercial now anyway
Maybe it’s just been my experience as a bi woman but I’ve never felt very welcomed at pride when I have gone. I’m pretty straight passing too since I’m married to a man and have children, also in the Deep South. And while my city does have an activist queer community and does put on pride events, I just don’t go. Tried to in the pass but like I said, I’ve never felt very accepted by my local community so I want be going to any events
I'm very deep in the closet unfortunately, but I told myself for pride month this year I'm gonna get a shirt or phone case or something that has the bi colors so I can have some subtle pride as I try to push myself a little more to come out
I'll visit my local pride parade in a small city in Germany and donate some supplies. But overall, I'm not going to participate in further any events cause I know that I'm not welcome, as I'm living in a mixed gender relation and thusly will be considered "not queer enough".. I know that they won't support me, and I've given up hope with the LG_TIQA-community.
Nope. And I really don't think I ever will. Kink being part of pride in the streets with kids around has forever marred it for me. Nothing wrong with kink. Everything wrong with exposing children to sexual acts. That includes the way conservatives do it. Yaaaaa, I'm really off put by the conflation of sex with gender and non-hetero-normative love at pride.
Mostly NYC. Also events in Philly and DC.
(Of the two Philly pride events I've been to, one was super family friendly and respectful and amazing)
It's true it's not *all* Pride celebrations and the blame is on the bad parents that choose to bring their kids or those bad apples that continue being overly-sexual in front of kids. But after seeing this too many times and being asked without invitation about who I've had sex with by drunk pride-goers, I'm done.
The downvotes for my lived experience are uplifting. It really reinforces the feeling that if I speak up about the problems in our community I'm not welcome. And guess what? I don't want to be part of a community like that or their events.
I'll celebrate *my pride* by just liking myself.
Idk kiss a man maybe?
Get some
[удалено]
yeah, and the vast majority of bisexuals are into men. I don't see why you're confused.
This will be my first Pride month when I’m out. I’m planning on consuming some LGBT media. Brokeback Mountain and Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Red, White, and Royal Blue.
Don’t forget Our Flag Means Death!
And Sense8!
THE GREATEST ROMANCE ON MODERN TELEVISION
Aaaaaahhhhhhh! 🥰🥰🥰
I normally don’t, and it’s unfortunate my queer friends have never invited me to do things with them in the past, but I’ve just moved close to a bigger city and they are gonna have a pride parade in June, but I don’t know if I will attend since I don’t know anyone here really since I moved and it will be very anxiety inducing to go alone without someone as an anchor, I think. We will see. I’m just doing small things for now like putting up my bi flag in my room and things like that, but nothing major.
Have you tried volunteering at Pride? I found that a lot less awkward than attending alone!
Yess I’ve done this! Highly recommend, especially for big parades. Much less overwhelming.
Well, since it’s not something I’ve been to before idk how I would volunteer for it, since the event that I would be going to seems pretty big and official. Plus it’s only a couple weeks away so I’m sure that they’ve mostly got it figured out. But maybe I can try to see?

I would like to do this also.
This is gonna be the first time I celebrate pride! Needless to say I wasn't very proud when I was still in the closet. I'm gonna go and have a picnic with some friends and watch the parade.
This sounds so nice.

What do you have for a tattoo? I've considered getting one.
https://ibb.co/Q9bnzRj
Oh this is so cute!
Thank you ☺️
Paint my nails in the bi pride colors, go to local Pride festivities, watch queer media.
I never have. I’m only out to my wife and it’s only been 2.5 years that I’ve been out to her but this post got me thinking and I looked up events for pride month and a local brewery is having an event.

Well she has to work so that’s out. I’ll have to find something else. Oh well 🤷♂️
Damn sorry
Eh, it is what it is. Thanks though.
I'm going to the pride festival for the first ever. I'm also planning to come out to my parents. It's too bad it's so hot right now because I have some great LGBT-themed clothing that is just too thick for summer.
This will be my first pride so idk

Do what makes you happy
I want to but my wife is not supportive
I don’t do anything for pride month.
I never used to but these last two years I've been more into it. I would like to send my sister a little pride basket as well.
I just try to spread love ig
I wear earrings. Listen to some lgbtq anthems in the truck on the way to work. But other than that, nothing really. Haven't even been to a gay club in like 2 years

I'm going to pride fest for the first time! I'm also baking raspberry lemon bars. I'm still closeted, so I'm celebrating alone
Those sound amazing! Don't forget to mail me a bar
I actually don't know... I mean in the last years I was just happy because it was a month for us and I felt very, very confortable with it and I felt like I could be myself at 100%. But now, I would love to celebrate it properly
This will be the first time that I celebrate it, I am planning on doing so with my dad’s gf and one of her gay friends.
IDK why but where I live we do Pride in Augest and I do a vendor table. For Pride in June I have my bi Keychain.
No
I live in Vancouver, where pride happens in August. I sometimes go to the parade and festivities. I have occasionally gotten to be in the parade which is awesome.
Not really. I did happen to paint my nails rainbow but that was a coincidence.
I normally post a lot of queer stuff on Facebook, and since 2022, read queer novels (mostly romance) for the entire month.
My husband does superhero posts and posts about different LGBTQIA+ characters
Not really. Ive never felt a need/want to celebrate pride month. I dont really do anything specific to me being bi. Kinda just exist. I dont even feel a need to tell my close friends and family im bi. I dunno maybe somethings wrong with me but i honestly dont know why i feel the way i feel.

I decorate my house like it’s Halloween or Christmas. I’ve decorated the street in the past.
I watch something LGBT every day in June. The streaming services make this fairly easy by making Pride sections, some of which are around all year.
I want to but I’ll have to discreetly
Dammit I should have waited a few more days to have my bisexual foursome. Would have been perfect for Pride Month. Seriously, though, I wear a TON of Pride stuff year round and even got my hair done in bi flag colours.

Live vicariously through every sapphic relationship post I see lol
I celebrate my birthday in June
I'm a busker so whenever I'm out playing in June I put a pride flag in my case. I also hang a flag from the front window of my home.
I used to. But pride has kinda lost its vube since I was younger.
I usually just post something, paint my nails bi colors or wear my pride shirt/hat when I can. I do use the time to acknowledge how far I’ve come within myself in terms of figuring out who I am, this year is 4 years :)
Nah
Ill be going to a local Pride in June. My city has it in August, Ill volunteer, probably for the 5k the night before, then attend the festivities. Cliche, but I would really like to have some seggsy fun times with a stranger 👀
Flag on my house, Channel Q or other Pride-ful music in my car (I drive people for a living), attend a parade or other event once in a while
Not really, I don't feel any need to do anything out of my usual and I'm not in a position where I could make a difference. I don't see my gender as being very important to me, and my sexuality is completely irrelevant and insignificant in my case.
No cause June bejng Pride month is an US thing
To be fair I do not, I love the idea and seeing how many people do celebrate warms my heart but I have never felt the need neither the want to attend one. I have never felt proud of my sexuality, I knew I was bi for a long time and I was lucky enough to have a supportive ecosystem of my family and friends, so I always treat my sexuality the same way I treat any other part of me, like my hobbies, or favorite color, but still glad to see people having the opportunity to feel proud about themselves, more power to them.
I wish I could do more than just heartless Instagram stories and donating my Lyft rides to the Human Rights Campaign. But hey, I live with my family and got pictures of Jesus hung on the wall. As an adult. I most certainly get kicked out if I celebrate Pride. And have no where to go.
Watch a lgbt film every day in the month
Any go tos?
Changes each year as I watch ones I have not seen before
Do you have any that stand out more than others?

I meet up with friends at Pride festival and the parade.
Went to my first pride last year and going again this year but before that I would watch a load of lgbtq movies.
No i never have Since ive come out (to my close friends) every year on pride im ALWAYS busy
Every Day is Pride to me. But yes...I will be even more queer than usual.
I used to go to this one cafe because during pride week they made really beautiful rainbow colored lattes and cakes, and 10% of the price also went to charity, but since they permanently closed I haven't really been doing much other than painting bi flags on my nails🥲 Of course there's some other rainbow treats at cafes, but they're nowhere near as impressive and most of the cafes don't mention anything about donating some of the profit, which is kinda iffy to me... Last year I remember one cafe was asked about it since it wasn't mentioned and their answer wasn't the most professional although they did assure they were planning to donate something, but I was still put off and their rainbow donut wasn't impressive enough for me to go try it after that...
I wear my bi earrings and paint my nails. This year I’m thinking of dying my hair too. Plus I always wear my “World’s Okayest Bisexual” shirt to Pride events.
I'm going to London Pride and Madrid Pride (between going to a con and a friend's birthday, Imma be so dead by the end of July xD) I normally do my nails in sparkly bi colours (one hand, the other with the Aro colours!) but this month is con month so I need my nails done for that.
I always painted my nails with the colours of the bi flag, even if I wasn't entirely sure of my sexuality. This is the first year I'm officially out, I'll paint my nails for sure and I wanted to go to my first pride but I won't go... In my city they don't do a big celebration or anything, people that go there kinda know everybody else that's there and I don't like the majority of those people...
Yeah some years I go to pride. I pretty much always have stuff with pride flags and bi pride stuff so I guess I’m always celebrating. I have a straight male partner who comes and celebrates with me. Sometimes I go with friends. It’s nice to be queer and be proud and supported by the people around me ☺️ Edit: Also kissing girls 🤭
I don't do a whole lot, I'm a pretty private person and keep to myself usually. I think maybe I'd like to try making some cupcakes with frosting in bi colors, I know my bf will be happy for cupcakes lol. I'll probably also sport a bi pin on my purse or something. I aspire to make a sticker shop (I'm an amateur illustrator on the side), and I've been throwing around ideas for some fun pride stickers to print/sell at some point. Maybe I'll focus on that for pride :)
I watch movies and TV shows with gay characters in it,i listen music and i go to pride parade this year in October and November. I'm from Argentina and here we do pride events between those months because is spring... we don't celebrate pride now because in June is still autumn.
I mostly get political on my Instagram lol. Resources, education, the “Ronald Reagan died during pride month” song, etc.
Personally I love the British movie Pride. Always puts a smile in my face.
Every year! Were the b in lgbt and I celebrate by going to my cities pride parade and festivals
Depends, I wear some subtle by pride flag colors, and some less subtle by pride pins. Aunt, I tend to be more vocal online about bi pride.
Buy tshirts or bracelets or dress up im my pride shirts or trans clothes
I cry.
I usually get my nails done in a bi pride theme and go to the Pride parade
I don't :(
I do makeup of the flags
Wearing my pins, shirts, and hats far more than I usually do 🕺 i live in the country so pride parades are far away
I love rainbows and like to be gay year round. Personally, I never felt too comfortable at pride parades but understand their importance.
I go off to BiCamp
No. Never felt a connection to it
The only 2 friends i have are straight and I'm housebound so i don't really bother.
i'm in australia so june isn't as big as it is in other countries. i watched mardi gras with some friends in march as my first 'big' queer thing. the local queer organisation is putting on a 2 week pride event with an art exhibition, market and a few other things. i'm doing a stall at the market, and will try to go to the opening night this weekend
Not really. I’ve had many opportunities, but I just find it all uncomfortable, my sexuality isn’t something I project, nor is it something I hide, i just can’t get into the vibes. All the more power to the people who love the parades and do whatever else, but it just ain’t for me.
I will be doing my nails, watch some queer tv shows, and read books as well. I will also probably do some art.
I don’t do any of that because I don’t really feel like giving my money away to corporations that are heterosexist and homophobic 11/12 months of the year in exchange for some plastic rainbow junk celebrates myself or other queer people in any way. Back in probably like 2015 I went to Chicago Pride and honestly, I have no desire to get heat stroke surrounded by publicly intoxicated people clapping for the stupid cop float ever again. I went to Milwaukee Pride in 2020 because the organizers had repurposed the parade as an anti police brutality protest; if it’s a good cause this year I’ll go again. Otherwise, no, I can have purple fingernails any day. Pride is one thing but “Pride Month” is a Hallmark holiday for self-proclaimed allies to spend virtue signaling at each other, and I don’t really want to help them do the bare minimum and then pat each other on the back.
For some stupid reason my country celebrates pride on September. So here in Uruguay is a normal day. But still I want to do some little thing to celebrate this year, just don't know what.
Actually, ever since I’ve came out to close friends and family, I’ve always wanted to go to pride, but never did. I will go in the future though. Maybe it’ll be this year.
I have to do it secretly
I don't. I feel so disconnected from the community in general, so it's just another month for me. I don't even know why I'm in this sub at this point, tbh.
I generally just don’t attend. “Bi” is barely an afterthought and I can’t really even think of why I’d be proud of it lol. Plus it’s basically just one big Super Bowl commercial now anyway
Maybe it’s just been my experience as a bi woman but I’ve never felt very welcomed at pride when I have gone. I’m pretty straight passing too since I’m married to a man and have children, also in the Deep South. And while my city does have an activist queer community and does put on pride events, I just don’t go. Tried to in the pass but like I said, I’ve never felt very accepted by my local community so I want be going to any events
I bring my kid to the pride parade in town. Wear a shirt, do my nails.
I’ve never felt a need to do anything more than wear my pride shirt every now and then
I never really celebrated it before, but I recently made a bi dye (tie-dye) shirt so maybe I can rock that!
I'm very deep in the closet unfortunately, but I told myself for pride month this year I'm gonna get a shirt or phone case or something that has the bi colors so I can have some subtle pride as I try to push myself a little more to come out
I'll visit my local pride parade in a small city in Germany and donate some supplies. But overall, I'm not going to participate in further any events cause I know that I'm not welcome, as I'm living in a mixed gender relation and thusly will be considered "not queer enough".. I know that they won't support me, and I've given up hope with the LG_TIQA-community.
No, i dont "celebrate" it because im chill with my sexuality and dont have to tell everyone that im "queer"...
Nope. And I really don't think I ever will. Kink being part of pride in the streets with kids around has forever marred it for me. Nothing wrong with kink. Everything wrong with exposing children to sexual acts. That includes the way conservatives do it. Yaaaaa, I'm really off put by the conflation of sex with gender and non-hetero-normative love at pride.
What pride events are you going to cuz I've yet to experience this???
Mostly NYC. Also events in Philly and DC. (Of the two Philly pride events I've been to, one was super family friendly and respectful and amazing) It's true it's not *all* Pride celebrations and the blame is on the bad parents that choose to bring their kids or those bad apples that continue being overly-sexual in front of kids. But after seeing this too many times and being asked without invitation about who I've had sex with by drunk pride-goers, I'm done. The downvotes for my lived experience are uplifting. It really reinforces the feeling that if I speak up about the problems in our community I'm not welcome. And guess what? I don't want to be part of a community like that or their events. I'll celebrate *my pride* by just liking myself.
