June is LGBTQ Pride Month. There are marches all over the country to celebrate Pride. This year I felt a need to do more than just type my words of support to the LGBTQ community. I wanted to create something with my hands to express my support. The Celebrate Equality Wristbands come in two colorways, a rainbow to represent the Gay Pride Flag and stripes of Blue, Pink and White to represent the Trans Pride Flag.

Pride parades are a lot of fun. There is more to being an ally than showing up to a parade or adding a rainbow to your profile picture. Stand up for members of our communities. Call your representatives (I like 5calls.org for sample scripts for a huge number of issues), show up at town halls, and tell our elected officials that we stand for equality and we stand against discrimination. Contact your school boards and education committees to support students in your community.
