JUNE is the month of pride. I still remember when I was in Europe. I always have time to attend this event almost every year during my stayed. I freshly remembered all those beautiful colours,parades ,drag queens with all those sexy costumes and more. The atmosphere was very happy and being respected. Everyone has the chance to express themselves in many ways. Everyone loves it. Well, I loved it. Coz I've got free colored flavored condoms.🤓😂 Just kidding, but yeah! I was bit more collecting it before and shared it to my girlfriends. It's free you know! 🥳 Aside from that, I just really loved everything about it.I had my first Pride parade in Copenhagen last 2012 and from that time. I've been devoted to it.

I have few gay friends being married in Europe. One of my closest friend in Sweden married a Danish guy. My "MAMANG" was one of a kind. He's totally the funniest one among my friends and we spent more time riding buses and train together.He can actually cooked my favorite "pancit" (noddles) everytime I came over for a visit. I have so much respect for these people. Aside, from their ccreativeness and lively personas. They're just totally light up a dark corner of a room into a sunshine beautiful atmosphere.
Three years ago when I'm back in the Philippines. I was invited to took some photos of these beautiful people in my village. At first, I was hesitant! Coz I'm not really a good photographer. But still, as they insist and asked me in a nice way. So, I agreed.
Here are some of the photos I took from that time. (UNEDITED PHOTOS 😽)
They're GORGEOUS right? BEING DIFFERENT is NOT a DISEASE and probably NOT CONTAGIOUS. YOU JUST HAVE TO EMBRACE YOURSELF. WE JUST NEED MORE PEOPLE WHO HAS A HEART OF Accepting other people's choices. More importantly, Those people who knows their boundaries and know how to respect others. As we live in a society where almost every move and choices is being questioned. A society who sometimes we felt more pressured. And in a very competitive world.Be someone who's taking the lead to be more YOU.
Happy Pride Month! 🌈🥳🦄
