As a Q in the rainbow, I put my American and Pride flags out today even though to be honest it makes me nervous since I live in a very Red Central Florida town now. But it is my hometown, and my home, and I refuse to obey in advance and thus help usher in a more fascist state. 🌈🏳️‍🌈🌈

I LOVE this! Do NOT obey in advance, and I'm delighted that you put both flags up. The Pride flag and the American flag should be up together. Take care and carry ON!

The president should keep his nose out of other people's business. He should never throw stones. With the things that he is doing and saying, I think everyone and I mean everyone - doesn't matter what sex you are, what color you are - should tell him to shove it. He will not be happy until he destroys our country and the people in it. Not the very rich, but the rest of us. Not going to happen. We will fight for our country and the rights of everyone in it.

When things are under threat, we learn how much they mean to us. So, this Pride Month will be audacious and fiercely proud, because unless ALL Americans are equal, none of us are. Happy Pride Month to all who celebrate from all your allies! As my Jane Austen pride flag says, "More Pride, Less Prejudice"! 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸

We have decorated the town with pride banners to celebrate Pride Month and we are having a picnic all day June 21 and the town will enjoy it all month.

Thanks Adam for your support of Pete. I’m not sure if our country is ready for him like we are. Many couldn’t wrap their heads around a black women for POTUS. I do hope our country will have grown up once TACO MAN is finished fucking up our country.

My 16 year old trans nephew, who unfortunately lives in Florida, has to get his medications from California. My sister is trying to figure out how things are going to work, as he's looking at colleges/universities NOT in Florida, probably in the Northeast. I feel for them with all the hatred out there, but I'm right there supporting them any way I can. I ordered a Pride flag, (which I'll have to hang inside, as I live in BF Eastern Panhandle WV) and I ask others to stand up for their peeps, too!

John Pavlovitz wrote an excellent article about how we allies can peacefully go beyond parades and flags.

Adam, you said many things that I think and feel but don’t always know how to say. I teach college and am an identified ally. I believe to the bottom of my heart, soul and soles that love should come without judgment and people should be free to be their authentic self. I’m in awe of the bravery it takes to walk a different path especially when that path is fraught with prejudice and even danger. We must do better!

Republicans are obsessed with genitals, where people use the restroom, and who and how people love. They waste so much time and energy that should be spent on education, climate change, the economy, etc .

Hey Guys!

Thank you, so much, for this post. It's the kindness and support from you that makes us love you so much. You are so important to the collective sense of sanity that does somehow still remain, and your work is the reminder that fine people like you share your strength and move us forward, yet again. You're the best. Paul Hiatt
