Pride Month

Is Pride on the decline?
Not so very long-ago Pride month saw events held in nearly every town and city across the United States and much of Europe, with rainbow colored flags visible in most streets and pride themed adverts on every television channel.

No Matter the Result: Pinky Promise
⋆｡ﾟ☁︎ ✧ ⚢ ☾ ﾟ｡⋆ "Ouch!" Mara hissed, louder than she meant. People in the waiting room stared, mildly annoyed. But Mara was more bothered. Her thumb throbbed. She’d bitten through another nail. A fresh crescent of red peeked out from under the polish Doreen had painted just an hour ago.

I Am Angry At My World, Today.
"How can you be bisexual if you are married to a man, and you have children?" "Are you sleeping around?" These are questions I get asked, usually by people who work with children.

Happy Pride Month!
In the middle of Maplewood Park stood an old wooden bench painted in bright rainbow colors. Weathered by sun, rain, and time, the colors had faded slightly, the wood creaked when someone sat — but the bench still stood proud. It wasn’t fancy, but it had a story.

Baseball is For Everyone: Part 4
Greetings, Vocal readers and Happy Pride Month! I've addressed the many reasons why America's pastime is for everyone in previous stories, which I'll have down below. I know I said that the previous story of me discussing this topic was the last time addressing opponents of LGBTQ+ people and anything that's related to it. Now, I have even more things to discuss and helpful advice for them. Once you have read this story, please give it a like and subscribe to my page on here. Also, follow me on my socials. Finally, please send me a one-off tip at the end of this story to support my work as I continue to write and publish more stories.

I Didn’t Disappear. I Refused.
They outlawed my name first. Not the one on my ID — that one they kept, with its masculine “Matthew” and that stiff, false “M” stamped next to sex, like a scar carved into paperwork.

Unapologetically Me...Now
Happy Pride, Vocal readers! I love this time of year, because it's a reminder to conservatives and anyone who heavily dislike us that we aren't going back in the closet. At least, not in the foreseeable future. Our voices will grow even louder, and we refuse to shut up.

The Half-Elf. Top Story - June 2025.
1. It starts in a club, as so many crucifixions do. - Seven years ago, today. Neon spills on my chest like fake blood. My wife—full lesbian, full moon—orders something tart, something red.
