Uganda's pride

There is always something that makes me stop and go "wow!". This year, and pretty much every year for the last few years, it has been the pride parades in Uganda. A country that now has a death penalty for homosexuals. A country where the President headed a "kill the gays" parade. Yet, these brave people still march, displaying their pride for who they are and what they believe.

I am shocked and amazed by them every year. So while today's post is short, sweet, and to the point, I highly recommend you take a moment and read about the pride parades in Uganda. How these people know that they are risking their very lives, and yet they get out there and let everyone know they are not ashamed of who they are! Take a moment and google them, you will thank me. You will be a better person to read about them.

Remember that June is the month for you to scream your pride at who you are from the tops of the roofs. Are you scared to let other people know? Take that leap of faith. You will feel so much better.
