          For Pride Month, here is your *Fun Fact Friday*.
          
          Did you know:
          
          In the mid-20th century, gay men used the phrase ‘friend of Dorothy’ as a secret code to
          identify themselves and each other. Since the harassment could be extreme to deadly,
          this was a safer way to let others know they were gay.

@nonfiction That's interesting... could that be Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz? As she was the friend of the tin man, the scarecrow and the cowardly lion; Dorothy's character can be friends with anyone!

@nonfiction to me, it means acceptance and love of self and others, and also diversity and respect. We can all help each other by sharing the love and keeping our communities a safe space.

@nonfiction  To me Pride is being able to live 
            Your truth.
            Love is equal and you can help others by accepting yourself and love others who are living their truth.

          For Pride Month, how about a *Fun Fact Friday*? 
          
          Did you know: 
          
          The original 1978 pride flag, designed by Gilbert Baker, had eight colors, including hot pink (for sex) and turquoise (for art). It changed because of fabric shortages and manufacturing issues. 
          
          The flag used today, created by Daniel Quasar, has six stripes with a chevron.

@nonfiction Wow, hot pink? That fabric is definitely hard to find and not really a favorite. Reminds me of the over-the-counter medication: Pepto Bismol. Better to keep it the way it is as today!

          Which piece of LGBTQ+ non-fiction literature had the biggest influence on you and helped with
          your understanding of queer history?

@nonfiction I don't know if I have a single answer. Growing up during the AIDS crisis and watching attitudes toward LGBTQ+ people change in my country probably influenced me as much as any book. 
            If I had to choose, I'd mention magazine biographies of Freddie Mercury and, later, *Memoirs of Hadrian*. The latter is fiction, but it encouraged me to explore queer history and realize how many stories were hidden, forgotten, or rewritten over time.

@nonfiction "The book that affected me the most is We Are Everywhere because it contains pictures of old protests that made me see the struggle of the LGBTQ community from 100 years ago to today."
