Happy Pride, Pageboys!!

🌈❤️😎

Happy Pride Month, y’all. We’re David & Jason, aka ‘The Pageboys’ (& Carol😉). We hope to see you real sooooooon!!
❤️❤️❤️

FUN FACTS…
* The Pageboys met on 7/14/96 at ‘The Spot’, a 50’s drive-in diner in Kenosha, WI…on a blind date.
* Pride Month started with the ‘Stonewall Uprising’ in NYC on 6/28/69 & led to a six-day protest.
* Rainbows became a symbol of LGBTQ pride in 1978 when gay activist Gilbert Baker created the rainbow flag. The original eight colors were chosen based on color therapy, meaning each color had a specific energy and meaning.
🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣

QUOTE…
“We should indeed keep calm in the face of difference, and live our lives in a state of inclusion and wonder at the diversity of humanity.”
- G. Takei
👽👾🛸

POEM…
it’s not that i don’t do small talk, it’s that I can’t do small talk. i’m the girl that they ask, “how are you?” & i am like: “missing everyone i ever loved, constantly hurt by the callousness of a world that reduces me to a body, and mourning the loss of everything i could have been — how about you?”
- A. Vaid-Mennon


JOKE…
LGBTQ should be renamed to BLTGQ. It's more tasteful.
😂🥓🏳️‍🌈
