Holiday: A shield for pride

 Holiday: A shield for pride.

Pride Shield: Let shield be a reminder that we each have the responsibility to use whatever privilege and power we have to protect and empower others to live their best and truest lives.


LGBTQ+ individuals often cannot rely on the comfortable structures of society to protect them from harm. In fact, many societal norms do harm to LGBTQ+ individuals and communities.

It is everyone’s responsibility to stand up to hate, intolerance, and apathy whenever it appears. Those of us with privilege and status have to do the work to listen to and raise up voices that have been oppressed and ignored.

LGBTQ+ rights are human rights.

Be excellent to everyone.
