Finding Hope in the Fight: Why Our Pride and Resilience Will Always Win

Confession: We lost hope yesterday.

For a whole day. 

We woke up, read nasty hate comments, and let them affect us. For a full day, we felt hopeless. We couldn’t see a world where we could truly be ourselves. A world where we were protected. A world where we were equal.

We saw the world through a dark lens. With no light. An angry mob of people who hated us, wanted to erase us, and wished us d*ad. For a moment, we let them think they were right.

But today, we found our hope again.

We spent hours reflecting on what makes our community so powerful. We created a fun social carousel about Pride events around the globe, and it reminded us: there is so much joy, resilience, and strength in being who we are. There are countless celebrations of individuality, diversity, and resistance happening worldwide. They honor our history, commemorate our struggles, and remind us why we fight.

Being queer isn’t unique to the U.S. or its politics. Being queer is universal. Our love, our joy, our culture—they stretch across continents and languages. We belong to a global community of dreamers, fighters, and survivors who refuse to be silenced.

The world may seem dark at times, with vile people (and their supporters) spewing hate, trying to strip away our rights, and framing us as "other." But their power is temporary. Their hate cannot outshine our love. They might hold offices, but we hold each other.

We cannot let them win. Our queer ancestors didn’t give up when the Stonewall Inn was raided. They didn’t give up when governments ignored our existence. They didn’t give up in the face of hate, fear, and violence. Instead, they took to the streets. They marched. They protested for days, months, years. They fought back—and because of them, we stand here today.

Hope is our inheritance. Hope is our power. Hope is not silent.

We will be loud as hell. We will defend ourselves. We will love unapologetically. We will build each other up. And we will survive.

This is a call to action—for all of us. Let’s step into the shoes of our queer ancestors and carry their fight forward. Let’s celebrate who we are, not just during Pride but every single day. Let’s be the beacon of light for others who might feel hopeless.

We’re still here. We’re still fighting. And together, we are unstoppable.
