Happy Pride Month to you too! 🏳️‍🌈

new sapphic music alert! listen to zolita’s new album ♥️

I want to highly recommend this documentary series (available on Hulu) on the history of the lgbtq+ movement and the struggles faced throughout the decades. Each episode chronicles a certain decade, starting with the 1950s. The people who came before us were fearless and relentless in their fight for equality and we honor them by keeping up the good fight 🏳️‍🌈

First things first, happy Pride Month, everyone! On this tour, I get to look out into the most stunningly beautiful, brilliant crowds of people who are living their authentic lives. They are loving who they want to love, they are identifying how they identify, and allies who get to support them in and celebrate them in that. It’s the most beautiful experience for me to look out into the crowds on this tour, I’m looking out tonight, I’m seeing so many incredible individuals who are living authentically and beautifully and this is a safe space for you. This is a celebratory space for you and one of the things that makes me feel so prideful is getting to be with you and watching you interact with each other, being so loving and so thoughtful and so caring and so being with you during pride month, getting to sing the words to ‘You Need To Calm Down’ where there are lyrics like “can you just not step on his gown?” or “shade never made anybody less gay”, and you guys are screaming those lyrics in such solidarity, in such support of one another, in such encouraging, beautiful acceptance and peace and safety and I wish that every place was safe and beautiful for people in the lgbtq community, I really wish that. Cause we can’t talk about pride month without talking about pain. Right now, and recently and in the recent years there have been so many harmful pieces of legislation that have put people in the lgbtq community at risk. It’s painful for everyone, every ally, every loved one, every person in these communities and thats why I’m always posting this is when the midterms are, this is when these important key primaries are, cause we can support as much as we want during pride month, but if we’re not doing our research on these elected officials, are they advocates? are they allies? are they protectors of equality? Do I want to vote for them? I love you guys so much. Happy Pride month, I just adore you. I really do.

“It’s wonderful to be spending this particular evening with you because today is the first day of pride month! And you know, a lot of my songs are about love and I just feel like who you love, how you identify, you should be able to live your life the way you want to live your life and you should have the same exact rights as everybody else. So I started this petition and you can find the link on my Instagram, its for the Equality Act which basically just says that we want to send a message to our government that we believe that everybody should be treated fairly in this country. So if you sign it, it would really mean a lot to me because I think we need to stick up for each other and we need to stand together. Don’t you?”

“I’ve been writing songs since I was 12 and my songwriting has a lot of the time been called confessional songwriting, which I think is really accurate and the reason that my songwriting has stayed confessional and stayed about my real life and my real feelings even when my life has gotten bigger in a sense, more written about, more speculated upon, I still kept writing songs about my actual life and that’s because you guys seem to care about my actual life. And I appreciate that so much. And in my opinion, I happen to feel that being vulnerable and being honest about how you feel and saying how you feel is really brave and uh, you guys June is pride month and I think a lot about how it’s very brave to be vulnerable about you feelings in any sense, in any situation, but it’s even more brave to be honest about your feelings and who you love when you know that that might be met with adversity from society. And so, this month and every month I want to send out my love and respect to everybody who has been brave enough to be honest about how they feel, to live their lives as they are, as they feel they should be, as they identify… and this is a month where I think we need to celebrate how far we’ve come, I think we also need to acknowledge how far we still have left to go and I want to send my love and respect out to everyone who in their journey in their life hasn’t yet felt comfortable enough to come out and may you do that in your own time. And may we end up in a world where everyone can live and love equally and no has to be afraid to be vulnerable and say how they feel. Because when it comes to feelings and it comes to love and searching for someone to spend your whole life with its all just really really delicate.”

Like a rainbow with all of the colors!
