 Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet. June is, for most in the northern hemisphere, the first official month of summer. The first month where it is safe to unveil skin for summer roasting. The first month of freedom for those tied to educational institutions. The first month for back to back weddings. Moreover than being the first month of summer, it is also the month of love. Equal love. Genderless love. Labeless love. June is Pride month and although the crowds of peace and love have been replaced with crowds of protests for racial equality, we all protest for the same thing. The right be loved. The neighborly love. The friendship love. The parental love. The cultural love. The humane love. The love that sees no race. The love that sees no gender. The love that sees no hate. This is not a political piece; I strive to leave politics out of anything I post, like, or comment. I do not believe in feeding the fire of anger and hate, as it only gets replenished with more hate. Although, I must admit, lately it's been a little harder than normal not to interact. Things are unbelievably difficult at the moment; we all know this. Yet, I am not going to harp on about the difficulites. I will; however, harp on about love. I strive to replace anger with love. Love for thy neighbor. Love for thy community. Just, love. The LGBT community began as a group of individuals fighting for their right to love. Such a simple action that seems to elude humanity’s everyday interaction. I have been fortunate to wander this earth and see love at its finest, but I have never felt the love run so deep beneath the societal labels as I have at a Pride event. The rainbow flag represents more than just colours of the labels LGBTQI+. The flag represents all the races congregated in unison expressing love and asking why something so simple is banned in some countries. Something so simple that brings all races together in unison for one cause. I’m not a hippe, although I can see where they are coming from. I’m not a “pothead”, although let’s be real, when was the last time you saw someone who smokes be aggressive? Just saying. I’m just a person who strives to do right every day to everyone and everything around me. The best way I have found to do this, is just to love. Just like Bob Marley said. One love, one heart #PrideMonth #PrideIsLove #SundayReads #WildIsadora #Isadoraland
