Pride Month Blog: Spread the Love

Written by Brion Baylor

“United” States of America. We see it but don’t really live it.

With so much hate and uncertainty in an ever evolving world, it’s
free (and needed) to lead with love.

A much needed jumpstart with that would be accepting and
respecting all people. Everyday people struggle to view and love
their self for acceptance in this world and it’s not any easier on
anybody when we’re quick to judge something we don’t
understand or agree with.

It makes no sense to judge when no one is above anyone else. I
welcome all those I interact with to be their most authentic self.
With the world continuing to diversely grow, we have to come
together and take action and progressively evolve. For me I
always try to have respect and empathy for for the LGBTQ+
community.

Everyday we see that society is evolving and becoming more
expressive whether that be through film, sports, politics or even
those close to us. I have friends, neighbors, coworkers all apart of
the LGBTQ+ community and how they choose to accept love has
nothing to do with their character.

So to me being an ally really means being accepting to all for who
you are authentically and to continue to being open to learning
more modern ideologies among those around me. The saying
goes you can’t judge a book by its cover well the same can be
said for you can’t judge or really know a person from their
appearance. Everyday is a new day to learn and grow in this
world and I choose to do it with love and understanding with and
for those around me regardless of sexual orientation or gender
identity.

Spread the love.
