Love and hate - a poem for pride month.

Today's blog post is a poem of mine. As June is pride month, I got thinking about all the love there is and all the hate there is in society. He loves, she loves, they love, ze loves. Going to pride, having a good time, lifting up our spirits when we need it the most. He loves, she loves, they love, ze loves. Going to pride, to protest against the monstrous men who are exceeding rich while being the biggest tax dodgers, hating everyone who goes against what they believe in. He loves, she loves, they love, ze loves. Going to pride, to remind us of how far the LGBTQIA+ community has come, the hate that one group of people has had to endure. But we keep saying no more. Some people love those who are LGBTQIA+, people of colour, people with a disability and Immigrants. Some people do not love the wealth hoarding tax dodgers, trying to cause division, discrimination and destruction as the whole country suffers. That is my poem, Love and hate. Until next time, Thomas (they/them).

Opinion piece: Why does it matter using people's pronouns?

Today's topic of the blog is about pronouns. I get sick of people moaning or complaining about pronouns as if they do not have any. It does make me question if they think about things. We all have pronouns - I, you, me, we, they, he, she, him, them, her, our for example. Personally, if you have a political agenda that stops you accepting what is a simple fact then maybe you want to rethink your political agenda.

Some pride events happening ths year...

Hello everyone! As summer is upon we will be getting pride events happening! Tomorrow for example Canterbury pride in Kent's only city is happening with Booty Luv, Atomic Kitten's Natasha Hamilton, drag queen - Drag with No Name who has been doing drag for 25 years and many more. The best part is this is free and you do not need a ticket! Kent has other prides such as Medway (which last year saw some great acts including Sydnie Christmas from Britain's Got Talent), Dover, Deal, Folkestone and Ashford to name a few. This is just one county. There will be pride events around the whole country from the big to the small.

Pride month is here...

June is pride month and that means three things. 1: a celebration of who we are, 2: a reminder of what we have been having to deal with from the past to now, and 3: a fight for a better, more equal future.

Welcome to June...

It's pride month people! A solid reminder to everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community s here and we are not going anywhere. We have our rights under threat all the time, especially trans and non-binary people. But hey, the fight continues and I hope one day things will improve. For this month I will be continuing the LGBTQIA+ theme alongside a new author for author of the month. For June, the author of the month is going to be Welsh lesbian author Sarah Waters. I shall be looking forwards to reading some of her stuff throughout this month. So as summer arrives and pride month provides a constant reminder to our battles and history, celebrate with a good LGBTQIA+ book. Until next time, Thomas (they/them).
