For the record, I support everyone’s right to be who they are and love who they want, including:

heterosexual, cis-gendered, bisexual, homosexual, lesbian, transgender, polyamorous, asexual, pansexual, monogamous, open relationships, theists, atheists, agnostics, binary, non-binary, gender-queer, naturists, and everything and anything in between.

We all have the right to live our lives, have our beliefs, and experience our loves, in ways that are natural and fulfilling to us.

Before you judge or attempt to dictate how other people identify, live, or love, ask yourself if you’re willing to allow someone else to dictate to you who you are, how you identify, and who you love.

If not, then you are an ally!

During this pride month, and in honor of the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall, I encourage you all to embrace and celebrate who you are, who you love, and what you believe.

See beyond skin color.

See beyond gender.

See beyond orientation.

See beyond belief system.

See beyond relationship structure.

See humanity in everyone!

Embrace diversity!

Explore acceptance!

Embody unconditional love!

We are all valuable!

Happy Pride!
