the Foxy Muppet

The rainbow flag. It has long been a symbol of Pride, encouraging diversity and love. It has shifted, evolved, and become varied in ways to meet specific needs within the overall Queer community. I really enjoy seeing everybody flying their own flags. I recently did research into the original 8 colors of the first Pride flag and meditated on the colors and meanings in order to make the symbol stronger for myself. I found myself walking away with a stronger sense of Pride, a better identification with gay history, and a more general sense of balance. I thought it would be good to share this meditation technique. Regardless of your gender and gender identity, I support trying out this meditation technique to enrich your life.

Let's dive into this, shall we? Today is June 16th 2016. We are still vibrating from the massacre at Pulse nightclub. I feel a fire I haven't felt since I was Cupcake Jay and telling my bittersweet tales in a former blogger life. I recently made online statements about the condition of our community and was met with an unusual response. "Who are you to be the voice of the gay community?" My initial post was apparently so controversial that it was hidden and I was censored beyond being able to respond. The desire to have a permanent voice that can't be silenced is why I have returned to this medium. I'll go into detail about more of these things over time, but for now I would like to bullet point my authority.
