But I did come out and so did many other LGBTQ+ people who will attend a Pride celebration this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than any other time of the year, Pride makes me enormously aware that life wasn\u2019t always like it is now. I\u2019m grateful for the past (and current) generations of LGBTQ+ individuals who made enormous sacrifices \u2013 losing their families, careers, and sometimes even their lives \u2013 so that I may live a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">freer life<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. That\u2019s why <\/span><b>Pride inspires me to reflect on what it actually means to live with pride, to have more empathy with the struggles of others, and to defend the dignity of every person.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>This year, I\u2019m planning to act on that inspiration in three ways. I hope you\u2019ll join me.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><strong>No Justice No Pride<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our community should always work toward a more equitable and inclusive world. This is why I support vital efforts spearheaded by queer people of color traditionally marginalized in mainstream LGBTQ+ organizations like<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/nojusticenopride.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No Justice No Pride<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 which protests certain sponsors of Pride in part due to their anti-environmental policies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take Wells Fargo, a bank sponsoring Pride celebrations in Los Angeles, Denver, Portland, San Francisco, St. Louis, Charlotte, San Diego, and San Antonio. Wells Fargo is one of the \u201cDirty Dozen\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/who-are-the-dirty-dozen-banks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that in one way or another have financial relationships with tar sands pipelines projects.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other Dirty Dozen bank sponsors include Chase (Seattle, San Francisco, and Philadelphia) and TD Bank (Washington, D.C.). New York City Pride has the dubious honor of being associated with four of the Dirty Dozen: Deutsche Bank, Chase, Citibank, and Barclays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The environmental harm brought to communities by pipelines is painfully evident from oil spills, threats to endangered species, and worsening climate change; moreover, these pipelines often infringe on the sovereign rights of Indigenous Peoples.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-66867 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/393d75c6-c_users_kbouarrouj_appdata_local_packages_microsoft.skypeapp_kzf8qxf38zg5c_localstate_4cd8e5c3-7bc4-4a70-ba39-6f8c6c43c31f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"666\" height=\"411\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes sponsors aren\u2019t even one degree removed from the polluters.

Of course not!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>A Plastic Free Pride?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, there are the plastic polluters. Coca-Cola will be sponsoring Chicago Pride; ditto for PepsiCo in NYC, San Diego, and Delaware; and Starbucks in Seattle, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. While the parades are always tons of fun, what isn\u2019t fun is thinking about the discarded water bottles and other plastics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m certainly not trying to rain on anyone\u2019s parade&#8230; excuse the pun. I\u2019m opposed to many of the sponsors of D.C. Pride, where I\u2019m based, but I\u2019m still going to have a good time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So let us all enjoy Pride, but we also owe it to ourselves <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and the legacy we have inherited <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to think about how we can celebrate a Pride that betters our environment and respects the rights of all individuals. This year, for example, I\u2019ll be bringing my own reusable water bottle. But it\u2019s not enough for Pride attendees to reduce our plastic consumption, or even recycle. We also need to start imagining a plastic-free Pride and ask that sponsors and vendors end single-use plastics and provide us with sustainable packaging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year I\u2019m going to take the time to call on <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gaypridecalendar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pride organizers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to start creating partnership opportunities with companies committed to sustainable and equitable business practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>We Can Change the World! <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might be saying, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OK, but don\u2019t LGBTQ+ people have enough on our plate, a company\u2019s policies on LGBTQ+ equality are the only relevant measure of whether to accept the putatively necessary corporate dollars to pull off the ever-grander Pride festivities.

Let us remember that Pride commemorates the June 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City when a handful of LGBTQ+ people \u2013 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mic.com\/articles\/121256\/meet-marsha-p-johnson-and-sylvia-rivera-transgender-stonewall-veterans#.7RNXUYPsS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">led by trans women of color<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 galvanized the then-nascent movement and changed the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, as recently as 2004, nearly a dozen states overwhelmingly approved by popular vote constitutional amendments to ban same-sex marriage. We lost every battle that year and plenty more in the years that followed, including in liberal California. But we persisted, and by 2015 we had popular opinion, the president, and the Supreme Court on the side of marriage equality<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A world free of single-use plastic and pipelines may sound extraordinary, <\/span><b>but this month we\u2019re celebrating a movement and a people who prove every day that extraordinary things do, indeed, come to
