Rainbow Capitalism: Does it harm or help
Rainbow Capitalism, which is the use of LGBTQIA+ issues as a means to further a corporate goal such as increasing revenue, or simply as a marketing ploy has been around for a surprisingly long time. With Early movers being Levi & Strauss, IBM, Absolut Vodka and Subaru starting their campaigns in the 60s, 70s and 80s respectively. These companies did something that was undoubtedly unpopular, this wasn’t a populist move or simply “moving with the tide” they were genuinely going out of their way to target a demographic who was taboo and demonised especially during the AIDS Crisis. Most of these companies have retained an ironclad commitment to the LGBTQIA+ Community and have, with all things considered, remained a firm Ally to the cause.

Validation Is Not An Outside Thing. Top Story - June 2024.
Hey Baby, Can we start by taking a second to celebrate the fact that you are here today? Yes! For some of us, it’s a small victory on life that we get to claim every time we wake up. You and I both know we haven’t always wanted to be here. Choosing to stay is a victory. So, congratulations but also thank you! If you are anything like me at your age, I know you are rolling your eyes, right now. But give me a second. It’s a little sappy—I’m aware—but I believe that at every point in life, we all have something to contribute. It doesn’t have to be huge. It can be a simple word to a person who needs to hear it at that very moment. So there you go.

Whether you are hiding who you love, who you really are, or any other aspect of yourself that for now you fear others knowing, this letter is for you … and for the younger me that never had this letter.

Small Town, Big Pride
Since a young age I sought to be what I needed. Was it an act of survival? Revival? Or just a spark in me that refused to be extinguished?

The Courage Journey
Once upon a time, in a small town nestled between rolling hills and whispering trees, there lived a little girl named Lily. She had rosy cheeks, bright eyes, and a smile that could light up the darkest of nights. But one fateful day, tragedy struck. A terrible storm swept through the town, taking away everything Lily held dear—her family, her home, her sense of belonging.
