We also believe that you are no less of a person just because you may not experience desire and attraction the same way others do.
Pronouns have become an integral part of the LGBTQ experience and the ongoing conversations on gender inclusivity. So in honour of International Pronoun Day, we're going to break down the basics of what a pronoun is and why it is so important to the LGBTQ community.
Today marks the 33rd official National Coming Out Day, a day many in the LGBTQ+ community see as an important time of recognition. Coming out can be both fantastic and…complicated, and sometimes even both. Either way, no matter how, when, or whether you choose to come out, we'll be celebrating National Coming Out Day by showing our love to each and every member of the community, whether you’re in or out of the closet.
