To all the people, that are saying: We don't need Pride. It is to much.

Here to me. As long as queer people get hated morderd and so on we absolutly need pride. Who is my opinion? Pride is so important!

Sometimes, looking at the news, it feels like we are moving backward. Yes, the world can be incredibly cruel. The rights we fought for seem fragile, and hate is growing louder. Yes, we are unfortunately sliding backward. It is entirely understandable to feel exhausted and hopeless.

But I want to remind us all: We are the ones who survive. Look back just a few decades—or even centuries—and our reality was a daily struggle for survival, often lived in total darkness and punishable by death; sadly, that is sometimes still the case today. Being queer meant being treated as a criminal, as sick, or as a voiceless outcast.

Today, we are visible. We are connected globally. We are a community that refuses to be erased. We have come a long way—far from a time when we couldn't even speak our names aloud.

Yes, the current backlash is real and frightening. But history shows that progress isn't a straight line; it is a constant struggle that we win simply by existing and being proud.

Take a deep breath. We are not alone. We stand on the shoulders of so many who fought so that we could be here today. Let’s keep moving forward. ❤️

We often hear about the horrific torture and executions to which queer people were subjected in the Middle Ages. It is harrowing to read how history has tried to erase our existence.

But the truth is: despite the extreme danger, queer people have loved, do love, and will love. We have resisted and existed. And we always will, with heart.

To everyone facing hate today: You are part of a history of incredible resilience. We have always been here. Always. 🏳️‍🌈✨

Are we going backwards?

​

For years, LGBTQIA+ people fought for visibility, equality, and basic human rights. While progress has been made in some countrys(not all), we're now seeing growing hostility, attempts to roll back protections, and rising discrimination in many places.

​

We can't break the progress. Every generation has to stand up for equality, dignity, and the right to live.
