Today is 1st June, the first day of Pride month. This is my first Pride story which I am sharing here.

I first came out as gay as a teenager during high school around 2013. It was a Catholic school, although we are quite moderate. I was very glad that my friends were very accepting. It was quite welcome (to my surprise), probably because of the moderate environment in school during that time. Some teachers knew about it and they just took it easy, even lightly joked about it sometimes. I had a very smooth experience in coming out as gay. It was my first Pride experience, although not necessarily during Pride month. Needless to say, I'm very happy to this day about my experience in it.

A lot of Indonesian teenagers who came out as gay are not as lucky as me. Most of them do not receive acceptance from their surroundings, especially if they live and study in conservative schools. Families severe ties with their children for coming out. Some kids get chased out for being who they are. These unfortunate cases usually include bullying and terror. This is why Pride matters.

Happy Pride month!

#AllOut: The #Ohio Senate is moving to pass HB 249 – a law so vague it could criminalize everything from drag performances to wearing a sports bra in public, regardless of gender.
What you wear should not be a crime.
