Celebrating Pride Month at Malco Modes
June is the time of year when companies nationwide display rainbow themes and tweet their support for the LGBTQIA+ community. First, we believe witnessing that flash of rainbow everywhere is fantastic. However, it is easy to become pessimistic when this support seems to vanish at the end of the month. At Malco Modes, we maintain these beliefs all year long.
The Power of the Pride Flag
The rainbow flag is very bright. It cannot be ignored. We pay attention to it wherever it appears—in a hashtag, a logo, or a photograph. It never stays in the shadows. The flag and the celebration of queer joy are intertwined. The flag remains vivid, brilliant, and unapologetic in the face of ongoing challenges to trans rights.
The narrative often presented about being gay is contradicted by the Pride flag. The mainstream media frequently emphasizes pain and coming out, intertwining the two concepts. However, the Pride flag rejects these stereotypes. As a company, we believe in equity, diversity, and inclusion. This aligns perfectly with the ideology of Pride Month.
Honoring Our Past
We know coming-out stories are still needed. Stories about grief and trauma are also necessary. We all experience loss and make regrettable decisions. Most importantly, stories that respect our past are essential. We must honor the individuals who sacrificed to create today's world. For example, the Stonewall Uprising of 1969 reminds us that the first Pride was a riot. According to the Library of Congress, "The first Pride march was held on June 28, 1970, on the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising." This history grounds our ongoing commitment.
