Me, I'm going to go to a museum with my bf on their pride weekend and then maybe hit up some gay bars later in the night together :^)

I live in NYC so it's like I could go to the pride parade but it'll be hot outsideeee

why does pride have to be in the summer๐Ÿ˜ญ

Are y'all still dealing with the smoke up in NYC?

Nope the air currents have shifted and we're good for now. It got insanely bad at it's worst though. Took my allergies from congested to dry mouth ๐Ÿ’€

Took one of our fire engines (small volunteer fire department) to our local pride parade. Had a great time.

It's not really a pride month thing, but I flew my partner over from aussie to snuggle for 3 weeks, it was great having someone to warm up my freezing toes. Saying goodbye at the airport sucks though.

Hope you have a wonderful time! Pride doesn't happen where I am until later in the year so I'm kinda holding off for now, and just being my usual level of delightfully-queer. :)

Southern US? It gets too hot during June.

I always have such mixed feelings about pride.

On one hand, I love the idea of us being queer in public, and from a USA perspective, I feel like that aspect is especially important in the current political climate.

But on a more personal level...I'm not a white twink, I'm cis, and I'm not like...visibly queer so much? So I've felt a -- possibly misjudged -- sentiment that none of the groups at any Pride activities actually want me there, be they the party crowd, the activist crowd or the thirsty crowd.

So to finally answer the actual question, kinda nothing. I'm not engaging with rainbow capitalism (except I did buy Thirsty Sword Lesbians, so I am still down with supporting queer creators), I'm not doing any parades, etc.

Hmm well to be honest there's not a whole ton of stuff in my city when it comes to pride month! The one college here does sometimes have a pride day! This year though it's not happening until autumn cuz they can't get the road space!

Hope you enjoy your time at the bars n stuff! :O
