I've literally been called a fag or a fairy or queer by so many patients over my career simply because I have a higher voice and wear a pride flag. And despite this, I'm somehow able to overlook this and still take care of them.

@GChristiemd @WilliamMoore175 @parden04 @GuyLambertUK And, again, any perceived negative political affiliation is placed there externally by that person and is rooted in misinformation. The actual pride movement is about radical acceptance of people despite their identity or orientation, but people like you are too biased to care.

I had a young patient come in for psych issues, and when I was interviewing her, she noticed the pride flag on my ID badge. "Are you gay?" she asked, eyes widening. I said yes. "Cool, I'm lesbian!" And then we high fived 👏 These are the patients I wear the badge for 🏳️‍🌈

@GChristiemd @parden04 @WilliamMoore175 @GuyLambertUK It's viewed that way by YOU. Maybe instead of making assumptions, YOU should talk to that person with the pride flag and ask them about it. Its sole purpose is to maximize inclusion and if you don't understand that, you're part of the problem.

@GChristiemd @WilliamMoore175 @parden04 @GuyLambertUK The pride flag itself represents "I accept you for who you are." Any political movement associated with it is a byproduct of human rights campaigning. The flag was not developed as a political symbol and any political weight is put on it externally.

Because at the end of the day, their words don't hurt me or offend me. I'm proud to be gay and their words can't take that away from me no matter how mean they say them. That is the point of embracing the term Queer.

All of these "LGB without the T" are completely missing the point. People are going to call you a queer/fag behind your back or even to your face! But it's just words. You have the power in the moment to rise above and not stoop to their level, so take the high road.

@GChristiemd The pride flag, to me, symbolizes the freedom to be oneself and love oneself despite what society says. It's my way of supporting my queer patients without needing to say a word. If the pride flag offends someone, it is because they are misinformed about the queer community.

A city in Tennessee has banned being gay in public. Murfreesboro, Tennessee passed an ordinance claiming that “acts of” being “homosexual” is considered “sexual conduct” and may no longer be seen in public. The law is also now being used to ban books.
