CSD 2023
The annual CSD (Christopher Street Day) Pride Month in June is a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community and a significant milestone in the history of the LGBTQ+ movement. The origins of Pride Month can be traced back to the events of the Stonewall uprising, which took place in June 1969 on Christopher Street in New York City.
The Stonewall uprising began as a response to repeated police raids on the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay and transgender bar. On that fateful night, the bar's patrons fought back against police harassment and discrimination, marking a turning point in the LGBTQ+ movement and serving as a catalyst for the modern fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
One year after the Stonewall uprising, the first Christopher Street Liberation Day Parade was held in New York City, which is considered a precursor to the CSD Pride Month. In the following years, similar parades and events were organized in various cities across the United States and around the world. These parades became a symbol of pride, visibility, and solidarity within the LGBTQ+ community.
Over time, the CSD Pride Month has evolved into a comprehensive program featuring various events such as parades, demonstrations, concerts, film festivals, exhibitions, and lectures. Its aims are to promote LGBTQ+ rights, combat discrimination, and celebrate the diversity of sexual orientation and gender identity.
The month of June holds symbolic significance as it commemorates the Stonewall uprising and celebrates the progress made in LGBTQ+ rights since then. It serves as a time for reflection, remembrance, and commitment to building a more inclusive and just society for all gender identities and sexual orientations.
Today, the CSD Pride Month is celebrated in many countries worldwide and has garnered broad support from LGBTQ+ organizations, associations, businesses, and individuals. It provides an opportunity to stand up for equality and acceptance and to support the LGBTQ+ community.
Neptunic: An identity often used (but not limited to) by nonbinary folks to describe the attraction to woman, demi-girls, other enbies that are feminine or and or androgynous. In short, it's the attraction to all genders that aren't male or masc aligned.
Demi-Romantic: An identity where someone won't experience romantic attraction to someone, until they've formed an emotional bond with them.
Aegosexual: A label under the ace umbrella, where there is a disconnection/lack of interest in the subject of arousal. (So able to be aroused. But the idea of doing it is an instant turn off.)
Lunarian: A gender identity that falls under the galactian system, in which the person is a feminine aligned nonbinary, they may also relate to aspects of womanhood without being a woman/demi-girl.
Ambiamorous: A label used for someone can be just as happy in a mono relationship as a poly one, and vis verse. Or, who has little to no preference for either monogamous/Polyamorous relationships. (I fall under the 'little' preference, as I lean more towards poly, but could be just as happy in mono!)
Qouiromantic: An identity that's used to describe the inability, confusion, or struggle to differentiate romantic and platonic feelings. (Reason I use this AND demi-ro, is I only start experiencing the feelings after I've formed that emotional bond with someone.)
Aroace and aromantic pride heart emotes. I wanted to use the old design of the aroace flag because I like it more. Both made by @TwitchSteel (Twitch, Twitter, Bluesky)

(that last one on the bottom right is cassflux my silly little identity that goes mostly unknown so i felt like pointing at it n.n)
