The utter rise above being outcast, being assaulted. Obtaining higher education and skills, and determination to be productive, love and be loved despite all manner of stumbling stones to reach it... that is the Darwin aspect so thrown in the faces of gay people, fiercely at work. Sometimes knocked down, but not out. Sometimes sick, but not done with life. Sometimes without love, but ready to love anyway...most of all, still and always here. Beyond tough...sometimes, miraculous. THAT is something to celebrate and that's what Pride is all about. Still and always....here.

Beyond tough…sometimes, miraculous. THAT is something to celebrate and that’s what Pride is all about.
Still and always….here.
