Pride Month: In Defense of Sexual Diversity

[dolivero]

Source

We are reaching the end of Pride Month and approaching June 28, International LGBT Pride Day.

Why is it celebrated? This day commemorates the protests that took place in New York, United States, in 1969 against a police raid on a pub called Stonewall Inn. It is the first event in the history of this country in which the sex-diverse community fought against discrimination, aggression and persecution against its members.

Today, members of the LGBT community and allies alike are fighting homophobia, transphobia and all forms of discrimination against those who want respect and equal rights. They wish to be free to love whoever they want, and this is a fundamental human right.

Fighting discrimination is not just something that happens this month or once a year. It is a daily struggle every day of our lives, on the streets, in our homes, in schools, at work and in all environments. Open people's minds and extend the feeling of empathy among all the people around us.

Inform, educate, educate. Understand the difference between gender identity and sexual orientation. All this gives us a better understanding of the world and of the people who speak out to stop being singled out and criminalized for something that is not a crime but their way of being.

Being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender is not a decision, and this is very important to understand. Just like we can't decide what color our skin is or who we love.

Let's live and let others live. Let's understand that we all have equal rights, and we can be equal within our diversity. Let us put aside our ideology and religion, which cannot stand in the way of freedom and the rights of others.

Let us, above all, be human.

Happy Pride Month!
