QUEER ALL YEAR
As a queer owned, operated, patroned & beloved business, we celebrate pride all year long, but we also recognize the sacred month when we pause to be together and celebrate as a community. Pride, indeed, is a protest. It's a protest of joy, a protest of hope, a protest of peace, a protest of possibility, a protest of passion, a protest of playfulness, a protest of undoing what's been done, a protest of becoming what you have always been or what you have never dared to be before.

As a queer owned, operated, patroned & beloved business, we celebrate Pride all year long, but we also recognize the sacred month when we pause to be together and celebrate as a community. Community is so sacred. It isn't always easy, as anyone in the queer community knows who has been around a while. It is a special kind of blessed curse to know that the folks in your queer universe circle you so tightly, across the decades and state lines and all the other boundaries of time and space. Anyone with an ex can attest! I sometimes marvel at how we stay in each others lives despite our winding and diverging pathways through this life together.
When we come together over and over again, it reminds us that we are essentially one big family. For so many of us who either have lost family or chosen to leave it behind, this is a tremendous gift. I am wishing everyone out there today a Pride month filled with connection and joy, comfort and community. May you be with those who love you truly and deeply and find time to honor yourself as well.
