Pride month is just around the corner. Since all in-person events for Toronto’s Pride events have been cancelled again this year thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, I decided to start the celebration a little early here instead. May it be safe for us to celebrate in person next year!

“In conversation with one of his friends, the openly gay Dr. William Hirsch, Fred Rogers himself concluded that if sexuality was measured on a scale of one to ten: ‘Well, you know, I must be right smack in the middle. Because I have found women attractive, and I have found men attractive.”
― The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers
wow. you opened this with such a powerful quote and it became better and better as i read along.
Thank you! So glad you liked it.
Great quotes, such a brilliant topic. My favourite is the one by Connor Franta: “Race, gender, religion, sexuality, we are all people and that’s it. We’re all people. We’re all equal.” Because that’s how we all should live. Don’t judge anyone on what or who they are but on their behaviour towards others.
But the other quotes are also fantastic. Well done, Lydia.
Thanks for visiting my TTT earlier.
Thank you very much. Yeah, that was one of my favourites, too.
And you’re welcome.
“Being different is what makes us fun, remember?”
