<![CDATA[Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance.]]>Pride was born as a riot, and has always been an act of defiance. During my life, I survived an internment camp. I came out at 68. I've watched rights get won and now watch them being rolled back. Yet I'm still here, still proud, and still holding Brad's hand. They have never been able to extinguish us or our joy. And they won't start now. Happy Pride, friends. Let's make this the loudest, proudest one yet. 🌈 ✨️

No friend it does , when you want to archive something, sometimes you have to let go of something good. And there it makes difficulties in your life but after then you archive after taking the difficulty part
