Pride 'showed me that I could have a happy future,' writes Jamie Jewkes.
. I’m not going to deny the huge importance of such stories, particularly in fights for access to healthcare, but joy must be displayed, too.As a closeted trans teenager, I needed someone to tell me that I could grow up and be happy. I could grow up and find a community, a community that could foster joy.
Pride is a protest. Not just in marching for our rights, but in encouraging people to become involved in their local queer community. Encouraging people to befriend one another, and share the joy of pride together.
