My pride - Halliana

My pride is silent , not often spoke .
My pride is a spirit, not often broken.
My pride is self-serving ,for me , for me alone .

My pride is all I have .

My pride is silent ,not easily declared
My pride is my spirit ,not easily cracked
My pride is self-serving, for me ,for me alone.

My pride doesn't care how it is described as long as it is for me ,for me alone .
 
I always find it a bit odd when it’s “that time of year to celebrate” rather than it being an all year long thing to celebrate because people really just out here hating on others for being happy still in 2023

the happiest of pride month to everyone 💞and hopefully it’s a safe one too
 
While it may not fit what many see as a pride-related item, this poem was for the man who made me realize I could be myself. He took the hate and cruelty given by so many around me and turned it into love and freedom.

There are still days where I struggle to accept myself, the clashing experience in my head tearing me every which way, echoes of “this isn’t right” and “abomination!” in my head. I don’t think those will ever truly disappear - but rather than suffering with them alone, I can express them and be told I am just the way I’m meant to be. Queerness and all.

I’m only myself, out and proud, today because of him. He is my pride, in a way.

In love's realm, all genders intertwine. Love knows no boundaries! Celebrating the love that is truly divine. For love is love, in all its grand array, And it will conquer, come what may.

So let us cherish, let us embrace, The love that shines, forevermore.✨🏳️‍🌈
 

This song is called Love is Love by Starley

This is a lesbian woman who wrote a song about no matter who you date it shouldn't matter the gender... but what they do to you when you two see each other and love each other and that is "BEING HAPPY". Thank you ATA for another amazing pride month

Pride is a time to be seen, whether you’re out or not. For people who are out and proud, it’s a time to show who you are at a time of celebration for who you are. And for people who aren’t out, it’s a time to be able to see yourself in others and know that you are not alone in this world and who you are as a person is not wrong or bad; even if those around you may make it feel that way.
The eyes of the flowers shall always look upon you and show that you matter, and that you are not alone.
 
OMG. I am loving all these entries already!

This is all so beautiful : ' )

Please make sure you are filling out the survey if you are posting a piece of art in the forums folks!
The survey is what will make sure you get the gift :D

Love you all!
 
“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” E.E. Cummings

Pride reminds me of hardships, of difficult times and terrible ones. But, I am also reminded of love- a love so unconditional and strong that it blows away those dark clouds of fear and distrust. The LGBTQ+ community has faced much, but it has remained strong and beautiful.
Every person who is part of Pride has had to find courage deep within themselves to face their feelings. They grow up with this courage as parents, teachers, doctors, lawyers, trades workers, nurses, and so many other integral parts of the world.
I don’t know if my words have made sense thus far, but this is what Pride means to me. It is time when I can appreciate a culmination of courage and beauty held within all who are part of this amazing community. I see it in every parade, song, artwork, pin, t-shirt, and so many other places. Truly, courage has sparked something amazing in the LGBTQ+ community, and I am honored to be an ally in the years to come.

To me pride isn't just about sexuality, it's about coming together to support each other in every way we can. It's to spread love to everyone around us and to express ourselves, we can be free spirits as long as we never lose our pride!
Happy pride month everyone!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
 
I believe that everyone, regardless of age, faith, ability, race, gender or sexuality is free to be themselves all the time and have equal opportunity when joining Limitless to become an Expert.

Pride Month is so important to us because we are passionate about appreciating the LGBTQ+ community and diversity, remembering the progress that has been made on LGBTQ+ rights, and celebrating love in all its forms.

But what does Pride mean to you? This is the question we asked all our Experts and here's some of the amazing answers we got!To me, Pride means everyone has a voice, it puts away the rift that prejudice used to cause. As a stutterer in a developing country, I found myself at different point of my life helping others to see that we should "include all", irrespective of life choices, body choices and so on. Thank you Limitless for giving me a voice too.

It is a huge celebration, a celebration of people, all people. Where people would like to live in a world full of respect, tolerance, consideration, support and love.

Pride means to me that everyone can be who they are.

The ability and freedom to be who I am and openly love the persons I choose without stigma and shame.

Pride is being proud of who you are. It's about not worrying what others will think of you or being discriminated against based on your race, nationality, religion, or sexual orientation.

Pride means acceptance and authenticity of self. It's a time when people can gather and accept themselves and each other and maybe just for a moment be able to breathe a sign of contentment.

Pride means love, acceptance, educating and celebration.

Free to be who you want to be.

Pride is the opportunity to be openly expressive, loving, and honest. Pride is being unafraid of your true self and, if we're lucky, met with understanding and support. Pride is also feeling a part of something and connected. When we are part of a community we experience feelings of acceptance and nurturance.

Recognition of people who are proud to be outspoken of their preferences. Love is love, you can't stop the heart feeling the way it does.

Pride is people being treated with respect and kindness, irrespective of their gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation.

Pride means being ourself.
