not just rainbows…

I had been wanting to use all of the colored glassware I had to make a rainbow tablescape for a while, and decided that Pride was a great opportunity to not only bring attention to my business, but the real reason why we celebrate Pride month.

Pride isn’t all rainbows and floats. It’s of course a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community and their joy, but it’s also a reminder of all that has had to be done to get to where we are today, and all there is left to do.

As an ally, I hope to continuously show my support for the LGBTQ+ community not only through my words, but my actions. Here are some tips on how you can be an ally not only during pride, but everyday!

*call out homophobia and transphobia in the moment, whether it is a family member, friend, or stranger

*speak out and protest against politicians who are endangering LGBTQ+ rights and people

*donate to causes that are fighting for legislation that supports and protects the LGBTQ+ community

*shop at and support LGBTQ+ businesses in your community and beyond

*educate yourself on LGBTQ+ history as well as what is currently impacting their community

*listen to and uplift LGBTQ+ voices!

Happy pride to all!
