Pride to me is surviving molestation,
image, after our likeness.” In my
trauma, church rejection, family
will be no PRIDE in self. But once this
rape, physical abuse, childhood
rejection, etc., well that’s the story of my life regarding my sexual
orientation and PRIDE. Many people think PRIDE is this huge party, with a parade going down the street,
shows with drag queens and drag kings performing but in actuality it’s more to the story than being Gay. I know the history of PRIDE is correlated to Stonewall but
trust and believe there were many
unreported Stonewall’s before this reported incident. No shade!!
PRIDE is respect for yourself and
not letting others define you solely
based off of your sexual orientation. Listen to me! You are more than your sexual orientation! You are
somebody special with gifts, talents, anointings and the world is awaiting
your arrival, so please stop listening to the naysayers. Now is the time

,etc.
Because you are a God made in the image of BIG GOD! Message!!!!
PRIDE is also standing up for what’s right and doing what’s right in this

is the game changer and the power move that is needed in America in order to make power brokers respect our PRIDE! PERIODT! So, join the movement of
attention from the universe.

In this current movement of PRIDE in America and this era of our lives
it’s more important than ever to join the campaign of self affirmation.
Life is beautiful but life will screw
you up and spit you out without any apology. So, this self affirmation journey will be rewarding and
fulfilling which will help make you in the image of your creator. For
discovering the greatest love of all great Whitney Houston, “Because
the greatest love of all Is happening to me / I found the greatest love of all Inside of me / The greatest love
of all Is easy to achieve / Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love
of all / And if, by chance, that special place / That you've been dreaming

the Bible declares in 1 Samuel 16:7 – “For the Lord sees not as man
