happy pride to everyone unable to attend pride celebrations
happy pride to those who have to work during their local pride celebrations, or are too busy recuperating from work to make an appearance
happy pride to autistics (myself included) for whom the big crowds and noise are a dealbreaker
happy pride to those of us who aren't out, for those of us for whom being seen at a pride celebration could put them in jeopardy in their personal/professional lives
happy pride for those of us who live in areas where there are no safe pride celebrations, for those without access to adequate transportation, and for those for whom a long road trip is simply unfeasible
happy pride to everyone who simply has no patience for the commercialism of pride gatherings, who are tired of being marketed and being marketed to for 30 convenient days a year
happy pride to those of us who don't need a reason not to want to go
happy pride to everyone. happy pride to everyone every single damn day of the year
and happy pride to all jews and muslims whose local pride events are scheduled on days when we cant attend due to religious observance!
