Every year I try to find an LGBTQ+ small business to order some pride stuff from to support the community. This year trying to find some place via web search gives me Amazon, Target, Walmart.... I know there were some ruffled feathers about target carrying or not Pride goods but I sort of prefer they didn't. If they genuinely wanted to show support - give dollars to LGBTQ charities. Fattening their already obese pockets and monetizing Pride is not support.
I posted this link as a reply recently but I'm posting it again. Its about how a little gay bar in NYC being raided sparked push back that led to a protest parade that became a movement and a celebration the pride of LGBTQ+ people. What started as 100 people marching toward central park became 15 block of people as people joined along the way. Today (54 years later) it stretches across the nation as a month of Pride in who we are.

Food for thought:
In 2016 we were not as jaded/angry as we are now. As a nation we would have reacted differently to a candidate for president slept with a porn star while his wife was pregnant and paid her off.
He won by less than 80k votes in a couple swing states. Had he not hidden that story it is likely we would have never had a Trump president. The crime here is a misdemeanor, unless done to cover a crime like election tampering. His 34 felonies were how he stole 2016 election from us.
Media has a new poll: Most voters say Trump verdict will have little effect on their choice.
They again are missing the point - this trial isnt about the election it is about crimes he committed.
67-76% saying it wont change how they vote likely means he already lost them. So no don't even spin the "how this is bad for Biden crap".
PSA: This and most polls these days are to influence people not measure opinions of people.
In the Godfather there is a scene where someone wakes up to find a horses head.
In the #Nodfather there are daily scenes when someone wakes up to find they are the other end of the horse.
Coincidence?π€£
