It\u2019s officially Pride Month and we\u2019re so excited to share how we\u2019re going to celebrate it this year! We share personal stories of pride, acceptance and reflect on the power of queer elders and the generations that have come before us to make Pride what it is today. Not to mention, how they have made the world a better place. We also discuss the importance of finding role models and community support in cultivating pride in one’s queerness. We gotta separate the negative connotations of \u2018pride\u2019 as arrogance from the positive sense of self-assuredness and celebration of one’s identity. We encourage you to embrace the scandalous and resistant roots of Pride and to participate in the sacred rituals of queer gatherings.\n \nTakeaways\n\nPride Month is an opportunity to celebrate and honor the generations of queer people who have fought for LGBTQ+ rights and acceptance.\nQueer elders play a crucial role in the LGBTQ+ community, and their stories and experiences should be valued and celebrated.\nFinding role models and community support can help cultivate pride in one’s queerness and create a sense of possibility and acceptance.\nIt is important to separate the negative connotations of pride as arrogance from the positive sense of self-assuredness and celebration of one’s identity.\nPride has its roots in resistance against discrimination and oppression, and it is important to remember and honor this history.\nParticipating in Pride events and queer gatherings can be a powerful and sacred experience that connects individuals to a larger community and history.\n\n \nChapters\n(00:00) Introduction and Pride Month Plans\n(02:42) Celebrating Pride Month and Honoring Queer Elders\n(09:35) Cultivating Pride: Role Models and Community Support\n(15:06) From Arrogance to Self-Assuredness: Redefining Pride\n(33:00) The Sacred Rituals of Queer Gatherings\n \nResources:\n\nJoin the Queerness Everyday Challenge at queertheology.com/challenge\nJoin the\xa0 Sanctuary Collective Community\n\n \nIf you want to support the Patreon and help keep the podcast up and running, you can learn more and pledge your support at patreon.com/queertheology.\n \nEPISODE TRANSCRIPT\n\n \nThe post Finding Your Pride appeared first on Queer Theology.
