Nashville Black Pride is more important now than ever because the collective voice of queer people of color has never been more clear or more urgent.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe celebration this weekend! Say it loud! #BlackPride #QueerPride #OneLove 🏳️‍🌈 🖤

PRIDE 26th: 🏳️‍⚧️ Texas Trans Pride + 🏳️‍🌈 Queer Pride flags flying high! From slur to power word – we reclaimed queer 💪. Claiming our language, claiming our space. We’re here, we belong! 🎉🌈 #PrideMonth #QueerPride #TransPride

Two flags fly from the front stoop of my home. On the left, the Queer Pride Flag by Pastelmemer features nine horizontal stripes: black, light blue, blue, green, white, yellow-orange, pink, light pink, and black again. It represents a wide spectrum of queer identities, including asexual, aromantic, agender, nonbinary, and same-gender attraction. On the right, the Texas Trans Flag by FlagsForGood merges the Lone Star of Texas with the pink, blue, and white of the Transgender Pride Flag. This hybrid design queers a regional symbol, asserting that trans people are not outsiders to Texan identity, we're integral to its cultural fabric. The flags are the focal point, flying clearly in the breeze against a backdrop of trees, bushes, and neighboring homes. These flags are visible from the shared green space, where neighbors walk and community life unfolds. I fly them to make queer and trans presence part of the everyday landscape.

These flags don’t just coexist—they’re in conversation. The Queer Pride Flag resists fixed categories. The Texas Trans Flag reclaims regional identity. Together, they reflect the power of reclaiming labels, previously used to exclude, now they say: I am queer, I am trans, I am Texan, and I am home.

Two flags fly from the front stoop of my brick townhome in a Gulf Coast neighborhood. On the left, the Queer Pride Flag ripples in the breeze—nine horizontal stripes in black, light blue, blue, green, white, yellow-orange, pink, light pink, and black again. On the right, flying slightly higher, is the Texas Trans Pride Flag: a vertical blue field with a white five-pointed star at the hoist, followed by horizontal stripes in light blue, pink, white, pink, and light blue—merging the Lone Star of Texas with the colors of the Transgender Pride Flag.

The flags are mounted on angled poles attached to the porch columns. Behind them, the sky is partly cloudy, and the neighborhood trees and rooftops are visible. No people are in the frame—just the flags, standing tall.

The Queer Pride Flag reclaims a word once used to harm and turns it into a symbol of unity across diverse identities—gender, orientation, and experience. Its layered colors represent same-gender attraction, nonbinary genders, and asexual, aromantic, and agender spectrums. Flying it alongside the Texas Trans Pride Flag is a declaration: we are not just present—we belong. These flags queer the landscape, asserting that trans and queer people are part of the cultural and geographic fabric of Texas.

My heart is so full after a weekend of Pride. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Walking in the #PrideParade, celebrating at #PetiteQueerPride, and meeting folks at #Halicon reminded me why I do this work.

I’m so grateful to represent the South Shore – a community that lifts each other up. ❤️

happy july!

it's still pride month because we said so.
it's also disability pride month.

despite fascists wanting queer, disabled, and in particular queer disabled people d e a d, we're here, and they can (and do, often) cry about it.
