Today, July 14th, is International Non-Binary People’s Day.
Often, non-binary people are misunderstood. They exist outside the gender binary of male or female.
It is always a good idea to ask which pronouns they use, as each person may have a different answer.

Today is the start of Pride Month
1/ Pride is both a protest and a celebration.
First, it is a protest. A protest against inequality. A protest against the hate. A protest against those who wish to deny our existence.
