Whether you’re out at a Pride festival or event this weekend or not, remember to always be proud of who you are. There are a lot of attacks coming at queer and trans people right now, but that isn’t a reflection of us; it’s a reflection of them. We’re proud to be doing this work with you!

Love,

The BRO team 🌈
