Let this month be one where we speak the loudest. A lot of the legislation trying to be passed right now is to silence us and take away LGBTQIA+ rights, so it is important to speak up about what we want to be protected.
Do not be afraid to speak up and share LGBTQIA+ issues that you are relevant right now.
Do not be afraid to correct people when they make insensitive or hateful comments against LGBTQIA+ people
Do not be afraid to share your role models and personal experiences
Today marks Pansexual Visibility Day (also known as Pansexual and Panromantic Awareness and Visibility Day). It was created to increase the visibility of people who can experience sexual, romantic or emotional attraction towards people regardless of their biological sex or gender identity. These are two terms that not everyone might be conscious of so an awareness and visibility day such as this is really important. So what do these two terms mean?
#Pansexual people – people who are attracted to others regardless of their gender identity or biological sex.
#Panromantic people – people who are romantically (not necessarily sexually) attracted to others regardless of their gender identity or biological sex.
It’s important to remember that being a pansexual or a pan romantic person doesn’t define all of a person. It’s just one aspect of them. But it’s an important part to understand and respect. Difference and diversity is what makes the world a fascinating place to be a part of. #PansexualVisibilityDay

Self-care is important because, while it’s normal to have to deal with negative emotions, it’s not normal to have to live with them day by day without some sort of respite. This #SelfCareSunday, sharing this article from Queer in the World. Keep your head up, take heart, and care for yourself.
