"Awesome" (Image & Text Copyright Wylddane Productions, LLC)
This image—bright with color, movement, joy—captures the very spirit of Pride. Hands held, smiles wide, bodies swaying to a rhythm born of freedom and love. It is a simple moment, but one that reverberates with the energy of generations. This is what Pride looks like. And this is what Pride feels like.
We have always been here. From ancient times to modern cities, we have loved, lived, danced, dreamed, and survived. In the shadows and in the spotlight, through silence and celebration. And we will always be here. Our existence is not a trend. Our lives are not a debate. Our love is not a phase. We are part of the human family—radiant, resilient, real—and we claim our right to live and love fully.
We are awesome.
Pride Month is a celebration of that awesomeness. Of the beauty and strength found in simply being who we are. As Laverne Cox once said, “Who you are is beautiful and amazing.” Those words ring true now more than ever. Because in a world that so often tries to define us, box us in, or erase us—we rise. Proud. Bold. Joyful.
It hasn’t always been this way. There was a time when just being ourselves could cost us everything—our jobs, our homes, our families, even our lives. The journey from Stonewall to today has been one of courage and fire. Of standing up when it was dangerous. Of loving when it was forbidden. Of marching forward when it was easier to stay silent.
And still—there are forces today that would drag us backwards. Voices of hate that whisper, shout, and legislate against our right to exist. But we will not go quietly. We will not shrink or hide. We know who we are—and we know that we belong. As Harvey Milk so powerfully reminded us, “Hope will never be silent.”
So let’s dance in the streets and laugh with our friends. Let’s hold hands with the ones we love. Let’s wave our flags high and wide. Let’s celebrate this beautiful tapestry of identities, expressions, and stories that make up the LGBTQ+ community.
But let us also pause—to remember those who came before us, who walked so we could run. And to vow that those who come after us will find an even better world—a kinder world—because of what we do now.
Happy Pride Month.
You are beautiful.
You are worthy.
You are loved.
You are awesome.
