People Share What LGBTQ Pride Means To Them
I had the pleasure to attend Outloud Music Festival at WeHo Pride as a complimentary guest, and it was a beautiful weekend celebrating LGBTQ+ people and amplifying queer artists and allies. Over the weekend, we witnessed performances by Lizzo, Remi Wolf, Kim Petras, Honey Dijon, Paris Hilton, and many other music artists and performers. With everyone in great spirits, it was the perfect opportunity to ask the Ouloud Music Festival guests, "What Pride means to them?" and their responses were inspiring, heartfelt, and necessary. Here's what people had to say: "Having the comfortability to be yourself. Unfortunately, a lot of families and people are not able to express themselves. It's being able to express yourself, and hopefully build lifelong friendships and to break out the shell and stigmas that currently exist about the queer community." —Reggie "Pride is a protest. It means liberating our rights, and that includes trans rights. It means having as much sex as we can have, and liberating our rights preferably at the same time." "Pride means being whoever you need to be in this lifetime to make it, and I do feel like most people don't do that. Be exactly who you are. Don't fit into a mold. Find people who accept you for who you are." —Adam "Pride is not only a celebration of love and joy and life, but also a promise we are making to the people that came before us. Queer people have always been here, but there are so many ugly parts of our past where queer identities were systematically erased. For example, the way that the AIDS crisis was handled in the '80s. When I celebrate Pride, I am not only using it as a time to be out and open in my identity, but to honor those who weren't able to do so in the past, and those who fought for our rights to exist and be visible in the world." "A celebration of acceptance and just living your authentic life. There are lot of people who don't live their authentic lives and we do." —Grace "Pride is a remembrance of the Stonewall riots; it's a celebration of our community where we can present a safe space and remind everyone they are loved and matter; it's a message that the LGBTQ+ community has always been here and will always be here." "Pride means to be fully free in whatever identity and orientation you are and to celebrate queer culture with the community and others." —Linda "Pride means celebrating the anniversary of the strong and fearless pioneers in the community who stood up for what's right in 1969, plus honoring the fight that has continued ever since." "Pride means community, and it's a reminder that no matter what the world throws at us, we are still here and will continue to be here no matter what." —Paola Pride, to me, is a time when it's good to reflect on those who came before [us] to give [us] the advantages and opportunities [we have today]. It's also a time for me personally when I like to check in on my development and my journey as a gay person, who I have become, and whether I am proud of that person. As the years go on, the answer has become yes more and more." "Being an ally." —Zack "Taking ownership of who I am without shame or guilt of the heteronormative!" "To me Pride means allowing yourself to love and be loved no matter what. It's not a season, it's a feeling." —K "Pride means never being ashamed of who you are and always being true to yourself (I guess, LOL)" "A celebration of how far we've come and how far we have to go." —Gabriel "Pride is being able to feel enthusiastic and accepted all at the same time without having to worry if I fit in." "Being proud of who you are no matter what." —Tina Lastly, "My existence is validated." Now, it's your turn. I want to hear from the BuzzFeed Community: "What Pride means to you?" Don't be afraid to be honest, thoughtful, or just have fun. It's your time to express yourself. If you need, use the anonymous form below. The best responses will be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post!

Miley Cyrus Regrets 80% Of Her Tattoos
Miley Cyrus isn't the biggest fan of all the ink she's gotten over the years. The singer, now 32, got her first tattoo at the age of 17 — the words "just breathe" tattooed on her ribs, in honor of a friend who died of cystic fibrosis and her grandfathers, who both died of lung cancer. She now has over 50 tattoos. When asked in a new interview by the New York Times about any mistakes she's made, Miley replied, "A mistake that I made that I still think about is, like, 80% of my tattoos." As for which ones specifically she's no longer too keen on, she continued, "I love my cat, but, like, I didn't need that." In a similar vein, she added, "I love my dog, but, I don't know, just having a pitbull in every picture for the rest of my life is kind of intense." "I don't regret them enough to laser them," she added. "There's just a few I could do without." Still, Miley was photographed getting the word "muse" tattooed on her in cursive earlier this week, so she's not over tattoos themselves. You can watch the full interview here.

Bark Box CEO apologizes for employee's internal message comparing PRIDE collection to MAGA toys
The CEO of BarkBox, Matt Meeker, has apologized after an internal message leaked. The message compared Pride products to hypothetical MAGA items, calling both "politically charged." Meeker called it "disrespectful and hurtful" and said the company has no plans to remove its Pride offerings. The CEO of BarkBox, the company that offers a monthly subscription service for boxes of dog toys and treats, has issued a public apology for a "disrespectful and hurtful" internal message that leaked on social media. A screenshot of the message that circulated on Reddit described the decision to immediately pause paid ads and lifecycle marketing pushes for the company's Pride kit. "While celebrating Pride is something we may value, we need to acknowledge that the current climate makes this promotion feel more like a political statement than a universally joyful moment for all dog people," the message reads in part. "If we wouldn't feel comfortable running a promotion centered around another politically charged symbol (like a MAGA-themed product), it's worth asking whether this is the right moment to run this particular campaign." "Right now, pushing this promo risks unintentionally sending the message that 'we're not for you' to a large portion of our audience," the message concludes. BarkBox confirmed to Business Insider the authenticity of the screenshot. The author of the message is unclear. Founder and CEO Matt Meeker apologized for the "disrespectful and hurtful" message in an Instagram post on Wednesday. "I do not agree with the content of the message. It wasn't good, it doesn't reflect our values, and I'm deeply sorry that it happened," he said. "We stand by the products," he wrote about the Pride kits, noting that the company had no plans to remove them. While the company has donated a portion of profits from its Pride collection to an organization supporting LGBTQ people in past years, it'll donate 100% of the revenue from the collection this year, he added. The company's Pride collection is available as an optional add-on for BarkBox and Super Chewer subscribers, and has been offered for the past four years. The initial pullback on Pride isn't unique to BarkBox. Some of the biggest retailers in the US have walked back their support for diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, with some taking cues from the Trump administration's stance on the matter. Target last year scaled back its Pride Month collection after receiving backlash from conservatives over the merchandise in prior years. In late November, Walmart announced it was ending some of its DEI initiatives and taking down some LGBTQ-related merchandise from its website. Read the original article on Business Insider
