Some symbols can move the whole world. The Rainbow Flag, first unfurled at the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day Parade on June 25, 1978, is a gleaming example.

Break out the glitter, cue up your favorite bangers, and let your rainbow flag fly high — it’s Pride Month, baby! June is all about love, identity, self-expression, and being unapologetically you. Whether you’re marching in a parade, rocking your fiercest look, or just vibing with chosen family, this month is a celebration of LGBTQ+ joy, history, and resilience.

It is not in any way a bold statement that, in these times especially, there is no shortage of outlets where we can focus our positive energy and action. The world needs love, and it should not matter what that love looks like or what shape it takes. Bluntly put, we have more grievous issues to deal with than attempting to restrict an individual’s right to love whomever they choose. If you do not already get that, watch this simply beautiful new video from 20-year old Australian artist Madison Daniel for her song “Love Is Love,” and then tell me that it does not move you to soften your heart. I’ll wait.
