Here's to Pride month! A time where LGBTQ+ communities come together to celebrate the freedom of being themselves loudly, proudly, and unapologetically. A time where millions of participants recognize and commemorate the impact that LGBTQ+ individuals have had in history, the present, and the future. A time that we here at Kupcakerie like to take to further embrace and acknowledge our wonderful employees who identify deeply within the community, and here is what Pride Month means to them..
Say hi to Seanba:
"Pride Month to me means a time to celebrate being unapologetically myself. It means celebrating the past heroes that fought for our rights, speaking out for people trying to live their truth right now, and fighting to build a future where Pride Month can be a celebration that lasts all year round. Living out loud has brought me so much joy and Pride Month is the time for me to let that joy be heard. This is still rough times for the LGBTQ+ community, and for all minorities. If there's any time to celebrate one's individuality and what makes us all feel special and unique, it's now!"
Say hi to Junior:
"Pride is a reminder of everyone who has come before us and those suffering today for loving who they love. Pride is a celebration of who we are and what we're striving for in the future. To be part of this is an honor, and helping pave the way for future generations to show that you can love yourself and love whomever you want is worth celebrating."
