Wild Lion*esses Pride by Jay's avatar

Clint — I loved this story, truly. You brought it alive with such heart and clarity.

Reading about Jack and Michael, I felt both deep gratitude and quiet awe. The courage of loving openly—without hashtags, campaigns, or guarantees—is what built the ground we walk on today. And stories like this remind us how much was carried in silence, in stubborn joy, in fierce everyday commitment.

Thank you for giving this couple their rightful place in our collective memory—and in our Pride celebrations. I’ll be carrying their story with me this month and beyond.

Thank you, Jay, for the kind, heartfelt comment. So many queer pioneers, so little time…but I’m spotlighting a few of the ones I know about. And love that you’re helping people find the queer pioneers inside themselves. Cheers!

I really enjoyed reading and learning about all those queer pioneers — and especially these days, keeping their memories alive feels more vital than ever. And still, each of us is, in our own way, a pioneer too. Carving paths, holding space, creating stories that one day will be remembered as well.
