From the Official Presidential Proclamation (my favorite part):
These issues affect not only the LGBT community, but also our entire Nation. As long as the promise of equality for all remains unfulfilled, all Americans are affected. If we can work together to advance the principles upon which our Nation was founded, every American will benefit. During LGBT Pride Month, I call upon the LGBT community, the Congress, and the American people to work together to promote equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
I was going to link to a bunch of happy gay news but, uh, it requires a bit more digging than I thought. So instead, here is the gayest picture I could find of Ethan and I! Also, an (unintentional) ad for Zipcar!
Read LGBT books this month (and every month)! Just not The Well of Loneliness! Because it is depressing!
I will probably end up re-reading The Well of Loneliness this month because I can’t stop making bad jokes about it. (Care to snark with me, Danika?)
Update: It’s also National Audio Books Month. David Sedaris is promoting it, so if you listen to a David Sedaris audio book, you can double celebrate. Hooray.
Yay Pride Month!!!!!
I will definitely re-read Well of Loneliness with you! Have it done by the end of the month? I actually was surprised that I liked it better than I was expecting. It does seem to be more of a trans* novel than a lesbian one, but it's in our canon now, so here we are.

Danika! Hooray! Let our queer powers combine! I'll hunt down your email address and contact you about it. Thanks for answering my hidden call!
It's danikaellis@gmail.com, if you're still up for it.
