Happy Pride Month everyone! Remember the only major political party that stands with the LGBTQ community is the Democrat Party. We have a President that has our back and publicly states it. Pride began with riots in New York City and San Francisco. Pride now celebrates that beginning not with violence but with joy, parades, gatherings of all the letters of the rainbow alphabet and our allies.
Remember how Pride started and vote to make sure riots are never needed again to keep our rights.

"In the two years since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which protected the constitutional right to abortion, Americans have dealt with a sexual and reproductive health landscape that is a complex puzzle, featuring fractured sex education, gender-affirming care, and family planning and abortion services. In the report card’s twelve-year history, the U.S. overall grade has dropped from a C- to an F, and the number of failing states has skyrocketed—from nine in 2012 to 25 this year."
