I am about to post photos of this past weekend’s Capital Pride (@CapitalPrideDC) events in Washington, DC. Before I do that, I wanted to write about some things I’ve been experiencing personally and professionally in the last year that I suggest people work to address.

It’s great that we’re joined in parades and celebrations, however, we need to reconcile that activity with activities that are needed year round. A few suggestions are below, based on actual situations. If you don’t understand what’s being asked or know what the right answer is to these questions, post in the comments or contact me, I’m happy to educate.
