I woke up this morning and was thinking about all the celebratory events that kicked off Pride Month yesterday. Even as a queer person, I'm rolling my eyes, anticipating my inbox being flooded with advertisements from big companies - trying to sell me a rainbow tumbler or now suddenly they have queer model representation.
If you can take anything away from Cowtail Vintage this month, please just start at the origins of Pride. If you haven't already, look up the 1969 Stonewall Riots. These started on June 28, 1969 and the following year the first Pride Marches started.
Celebrate, Educate yourself, Support your Queer Friends and Family, and honestly go ahead and buy something with a rainbow on it I never said there was anything wrong with that :)
