Happy Stonewall Day, everyone.
Okay, yes Stonewall Day isn't an official holiday - yet. June 28th is the anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. Some in the media call it a riot, but it was much more than that.

This event, 45 years ago, is usually celebrated now as the beginning of the modern movement for gay & lesbian civil rights. Without Stonewall, would Big Closet even be here today?
I give thanks to all of you, whether in or out of the closet. I give thanks to all of you who might be 'straight' as a laser beam and love some LGBTQ persons in your lives. Today, I give extra thanks to the people at Stonewall in 1969 who resisted oppression.
With love,
