Happy Pride Month!
As many of you know, I was raised in a strict religion. As I began to step away from it and find my own way, my 16 year old had the courage (with fear and many tears, it broke my heart that she was so scared) to tell me she was gay. I’m thankful she trusted me, and I’m thankful that we were able to learn and grow together, both finding our footing away from what we were taught. I cannot even imagine not being able to support her.
Emily & Eden have been together for 4 years now, and their relationship is one I admire so much. They have supported each other through college choices, long distance, staying connected through FaceTime and staying up late with each other as they study and prep for finals into the early morning hours. Always kind to each other, I’ve never heard a harsh word. Emily has become part of our family and we love her so much.
Why is Pride month important? Because all humans deserve space and acceptance, that they are whole and good. Because the alternative is loss of life when they feel less than, mental health struggles and more. And believe me, relationships like Eden & Emily’s are worth celebrating!!!
All are welcome at Specs. ♥️
