Tomorrow is the day where we celebrate the ongoing effort to create EQUALITY for all people here in the City of Hamilton, Ohio - City Hall.

So come see all the different people come together as one people with pride and compassion for humanity.

I will be at the Hue Mane Salon booth this year with gifts, a smile and looking forward to having some good conversations with whomever wants to be a part of what we're doing here at YAS.

Every day this week leading up to the City of Hamilton, Ohio - City Hall's Pride Celebration put on by Hamilton Ohio Pride, we will post a word of the day.

Dignity
The inherent, inalienable worth and value every person possesses simply by being human.

The definition of this word speaks for itself. The inhumane treatment of people simply for existing as themselves is something no human should have to face. Period.

Any guesses on what word for "E" will be?
At this point, everyone's been quick to get it and I've made them all admittedly easy 🤣

For this one, not only will the first correct answer win, but so will the most creative and poigyant answer! Yes this is a very subjective requirement, but I'm just trying to inspire some variety here! One guess per person still 😊🌈

Every day this week leading up to the City of Hamilton, Ohio - City Hall's Pride Celebration put on by Hamilton Ohio Pride, we will post a word of the day.

Inclusion
There are countless studies that show how the simple action of including someone in nearly every sector of life improves both the person and the community at large.

Historically, unjustifiable prejudice against LGTBQIA and all other disenfranchised people in our nation have held back these communities from their full potential. It's time for EVERYONE to have a seat at the table.

Any guesses on what word for "D" will be?
*HINT* look at Monday's post for the clue.

Comment your ONE guess, if you guess correctly first, there will be a little prize for you if you find me at Pride this Saturday (one prize per person). Only the next day's word counts, so don't work ahead!

"R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me."
Aretha Franklin's infamous song is a long used anthem in the gay community and for good reason. She was a prominent ally through her various forms of public support and was known for paying the medical costs for numerous people during the AIDS epidemic. Her example of respecting those around her despite what the surrounding culture said is something we could all learn from.

Public.
The right to exist in public without fear of persecution simply for existing is something LGTBQIA people, and many other marginalized groups, have been fighting for since before the Stonewall Riots. Which is what this month is really supposed to be about.

Any guesses on what word "R" will be?
*HINT* the number of periods after each letter is how many more letters are in that word.
