55 years ago today, members of the LGBTQAI+ community went public in New York for the first time to stand up for their rights. As if it wasn't sad enough that this had to happen at all, these people experienced violence, rejection and unacceptance simply for existing, it was seen as perverse, contagious or even diabolical and they were made to feel this through many cruel actions. Nowadays, fortunately, this has improved many times over in some countries and continues to be accepted as normal by more and more people. Unfortunately, this is still not the case in at least as many places in the world and we still cannot exist everywhere without making ourselves liable to prosecution, and politics in the actually more open countries is currently developing more and more in the wrong direction. The point is that we must and should continue what was done 55 years ago on stonewall street in New YorkIt started until the csd is finally just a celebration to present our pride and celebrate how far we have come and not to convince other people to accept and treat us as their equal. I wish all members of the community a lot of strength and a pleasant end to this year's pride month. you deserve the best and you are incredible people, stay safe and surround yourself with people who don't make you feel wrong, because you are not. Love you all <3
