Carry Pride in your Heart (Micro-nonfiction)
My First Pride I will always remember my first Pride event. I went to one at the approximate age of 11/12. My identity at the time was confined to the pressures placed upon it by others. I was a straight ally, practicing Catholic with a growing curiosity for the LGBT+ community. Little did tiny WriterWoman know, she would grow up to be a proud member of the LGBT+ community. That was the start of my journey, my self-discovery.

Is it okay to call people 'Queer'? I remember referring to myself as 'queer' in front of some family members for the first time. The word slipped from my lips without thought, perfectly excited to dance into nearby ears.

Just a quick disclaimer before we get started. I am by no means an expert. This is purely based on my experience and my own internet-based research.

You’re Delusional if You Think Queer People Are Responsible for This Moral Panic
There is this tiring argument that happens on the Internet (and in real life), where whenever something bad happens —i.e., an election doesn't go well, a terrible law is passed, a court decision reverses a group's rights, etc.—people try to push the blame onto the person or group hurt.

This Anti-Trans Moral Panic Was Never About How We Define Gender
There's been a huge debate about the "transgenders" recently. I can hear the "just asking questions" starter pack now. Are trans women real women? What is gender? What is sex? Do we really need to respect these people who are changing the game on this thing that has always existed?

Stevie (Stephen) ColePublished 30 days ago in PrideThe Truth About the Trans-Agenda
With the Halloween season finally coming to an end, America must now prepare for the scariest season of all: Midterm Elections. The Republicans still celebrating their victory of abortion bans and the power to control over half the population on what they are allowed to do with their bodies, have continue to set the sights on the next target. Trans-rights. The reason behind the urgency to put a dead halt on Americans (particularly children) right to live authentically is to clash with the alleged “Trans-Agenda.” What is this “Trans-Agenda?”

Kit Connor Deserved Better
For the last few years, there’s been the debate of whether only LGBTQ characters should be played by actors who identify as such — this is a debate I have steered clear from as a writer, because I believe that an actor’s sexual preference or gender identity does not determine their acting ability or talent. Many LGBTQ actors have played heterosexual roles, the same can be said for straight actors playing a homosexual character, sometimes an actor happens to identify with their character’s sexual preference and sometimes actors are cast without their sexuality being a plot point at all.
Cultural characteristics of Australians
The first inhabitants of this vast continent are the aborigines, coming to the land some 40,000 to 50,000 years ago, and the scholars thought they may have crossed the land bridges from Southeast Asia. These people were mostly hunter-gatherers with a complex oral tradition and spiritual beliefs. The Aborigines were able to use and sustain the continent’s resources, concurring to stop hunting and gathering at certain times to give ample time to the resources and populations to flourish. It is believed that before the European settlement, as many as half a million to a million Aborigines lived peacefully. Today, an estimated 350,000 Aborigines are living on the continent.
Taufik OluPublished 2 months ago in Pride3 Philosophical Questions We Should Ask Ourselves Regularly
Specifically because our time here among the living is by default limited, we should examine our lives every now and then, question our current progress (if we're making any), and see for ourselves through contemplation, whether or not our limited time here is being wasted or is being well-invested. As a matter of fact, even, what drove me to become a philosopher is to increase my productivity as a writer, something which was a good choice, when I look at it retrospectively.
