Me ke aloha ole, Me ka Haaheo
ʻO Iune ka Mahina Haʻaheo, inā ua hala ʻoe i nā mea a pau i uhi ʻia e ke ānuenue! I koʻu ʻōwili ʻana i kaʻu hānai Facebook, he nui nā hoʻolaha no nā hanana LGBTQ; nā mea a pau mai nā pāʻina pā hale i nā pō ʻohana e hoʻohiki ana i kahi wahi palekana no nā ʻōpio. Me he mea lā ua loaʻa koke i kēlā me kēia hale kūʻai kahi hōʻike nui o nā mea e kulu ana i ke anuenue. He mea nui ka ʻike (mai kuhi hewa iaʻu). Ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻoihana pūnaewele a i kēia manawa aia kekahi mau meme snarky (akā kūpono) e lana ana a puni, e kāhea ana iā mākou e hoʻomanaʻo ʻaʻole ʻo Pride e pili ana i ke kākoʻo ʻoihana, glitter, a me brunch. Wahi a ka Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, aia "220,000 LGBTQ + mea kūʻai ma Colorado me ka mana kūʻai kūʻai o $ 10.6 biliona." ʻO ka helu helu koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe e hoʻolei ʻia ʻo 87% o kēia demographic makemake e hoʻololi i nā hōʻailona e hāpai i kahi kūlana LGBTQ maikaʻi. ʻO ka haʻaheo e pili ana i ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i nā hana i kū ai mākou ma ke ʻano he kaiāulu i kēia manawa, ma hope o nā kenekulia o ka hoʻokaumaha. E pili ana i nā pono kanaka a me ka hiki iā mākou ke ola i kā mākou ʻoiaʻiʻo me ka makaʻu ʻole no ko mākou ola maoli a me ka palekana. ʻO ka haʻaheo kahi manawa kūpono e hoʻonohonoho ai i loko o ko mākou kaiāulu. He mea koʻikoʻi loa iaʻu e hoʻomaopopo mākou i ko mākou wahi i ka mōʻaukala, pehea ka lōʻihi o ko mākou hiki ʻana i ke kenekulia 20, a me ke koʻikoʻi o ka hoʻomau ʻana i kā mākou hakakā e hōʻoia i ka palekana o kā mākou kaiāulu LGBTQ.
ʻO ka mea mua, manaʻo wau he mea nui ka hoʻomaka ʻana ma ka ʻāina. Aia ʻo Denver ka ʻehiku-nui loa LGBTQ kaiaulu ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. He moʻolelo huikau ʻo Colorado e pili ana i ka pāpā ʻana i ka pilina kino ma waena o nā kāne like ʻole, ka like ʻana o ka male, ke kānāwai ʻauhau, nā kuleana transgender i ka mālama olakino, a me nā kuleana hoʻopono. Nui nā ʻatikala nani i kākau ʻia e pili ana i ka moʻolelo ʻino o Colorado, ʻaʻole au i manaʻo he kūpono iaʻu ke hoʻāʻo i kahi haʻawina mōʻaukala holoʻokoʻa. E hana ana ʻo Colorado i kahi hōʻike e hoʻomaka ana i ka lā 4 o Iune i kapa ʻia ʻo Rainbows and Revolutions, e hoʻohiki ana e ʻimi "pehea ka noho ʻana o ka poʻe LGBTQ + ma Colorado he hana kipi ma waho o ke ānuenue, mai nā ʻōlelo kū mālie o ka ʻike a hiki i nā hōʻike leo nui a haʻaheo no nā pono kīwila a kaulike.” He mea hoihoi ko mākou moʻolelo kūloko, mai nā lā o Wild West a hiki i nā makahiki he ʻumi i hala o ke kānāwai. Wahi a Phil Nash, ka noho ʻana o Denver a me ka luna mua o GLBT Center (ʻike ʻia ʻo The Center on Colfax) "ʻO ke ala maikaʻi loa e ʻike ai i ka holomua o kā mākou mōʻaukala ʻo ia ka noʻonoʻo ʻana iā ia i nā nalu." I loko o nā makahiki he 20 i hala iho nei ua hiki iā Colorado ke hōʻoia i nā kuleana e mare ai, loaʻa nā hoa pili i ka ʻinikua olakino, ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā keiki, a me ka hōʻoia ʻana i nā kuleana kumu ʻaʻole e hoʻowahāwahā ʻia, hoʻoweliweli, a pepehi ʻia paha ma muli o ka moe kolohe a i ʻole. hōʻike kāne kāne. I ka makahiki 2023, ke nānā nei mākou i ka uhi ʻia ʻana o ka mālama olakino e hōʻoiaʻiʻo i ke kāne ma lalo o ka ʻinikua olakino ma Colorado. ʻO ia ke ʻano o ka poʻe trans e loaʻa i nā hana mālama ola mālama ola i uhi ʻia e ka ʻinikua.
Ma ke ʻano o ka mōʻaukala ma ka pae aupuni, ʻaʻole wau e kala aku iaʻu iho inā ʻaʻole wau e haʻi iā Stonewall a me nā haunaele i hiki mai. ʻO kēia ka mea hoʻoikaika, hoʻoulu i nā kaiāulu LGBTQ e hoʻonohonoho i ka lehulehu ma hope o nā kenekulia o ka hoʻokaumaha. I kēlā manawa (mau makahiki 1950 a hiki i 1970s), he mau kapu a me nā kalapu no ke kaiāulu e ʻākoakoa ai no ka inu ʻana, ka hula a me ke kūkulu kaiāulu. Ma ka lā 28 o Iune, 1969, ma kahi pā liʻiliʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo Stonewall Inn, ma Greenwich Village, New York (no ka mafia e like me ka hapa nui o ia au), hele mai nā mākaʻi a hoʻouka i ka pā. He kaʻina hana maʻamau kēia e komo ai nā mākaʻi i loko o ka hui, e nānā i nā ID o nā mea kipa, e ʻimi ana i nā wahine i ʻaʻahu ʻia e like me nā kāne a me nā kāne e komo ana i nā lole wahine. Ma hope o ka nānā ʻia ʻana o nā ID, ua alakaʻi ʻia nā mea kūʻai aku i nā lumi ʻauʻau me nā mākaʻi e hōʻoia i ke kāne. Ua hoʻokō ʻia ka hana ʻino ma waena o nā mākaʻi a me nā poʻe mālama o ka pā no ka mea i kēlā pō no ka mea ʻaʻole i hoʻokō ka poʻe kipa. ʻO ka hopena, ua hahau a hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka poʻe mākaʻi. Ma hope o kekahi mau lā kūʻē. Ua hui pū ʻia nā mea kūʻē mai nā wahi a pau e hakakā no ka pono e noho ākea i kā lākou moe kolohe a ʻaʻole hoʻi e hoʻopaʻa ʻia no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka lehulehu. I ka makahiki 2019, ua kala aku ʻo NYPD no kā lākou hana e hoʻomanaʻo ai i ka makahiki 50th. Ke kū nei ʻo Stonewall Inn ma New York ma ke alanui Christopher. He ʻāina mōʻaukala ia me kahi hui aloha i kapa ʻia ʻo The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative, i hoʻolaʻa ʻia i ka hāʻawi ʻana i ke kākoʻo, ka hoʻonaʻauao, a me ke kākoʻo kālā i nā kaiāulu LGBTQ a me nā poʻe i loaʻa i ka pono ʻole o ka nohona ma US a puni ka honua.
He mau mahina ma hope o ka Stonewall Riots, ua kapa ʻia ʻo Brenda Howard, kahi mea hana bisexual, ʻo "The Mother of Pride." Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i kahi hoʻomanaʻo i hoʻokahi mahina ma hope (Iulai 1969) i nā hanana i hana ʻia ma Stonewall Inn a ma nā alanui. I ka makahiki 1970, ua komo ʻo Brenda i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i ka The Christopher Street Parade, e hele ana i waho o Greenwich Village a i Central Park, i kēia manawa i kapa ʻia ʻo ka Pride Parade mua. Ua loaʻa i YouTube kekahi mau wikiō i loaʻa nā moʻolelo pilikino o nā hanana e wehewehe ana i kēlā pō ma ke alanui ʻo Christopher a me nā hui āpau i alakaʻi i kahi neʻe aupuni, e hoʻomau nei i ke alakaʻi ʻana i nā hihia pono kanaka no ka mea ke hele nei i nā makahiki āpau, ke kāne, ke kūlana socioeconomic. ke kino kīnā, a me ka lāhui.
No laila…e kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i ko kākou ʻōpio no kekahi minuke. He mana ko kakou hanauna e hiki mai ana, maalea, a naauao ma na ano hiki ole ia'u ke hoomaopopo. Hoʻohana lākou i nā huaʻōlelo e hōʻike ana i ka ʻike kāne kāne, ke ʻano wahine, a me nā ʻano pilina, ʻaʻole like me nā hanauna i hala ma mua, e alakaʻi iā mākou i kēia manawa kūpono i ka manawa. Ke ʻike nei kā mākou ʻōpio i ka poʻe ma ke ʻano he lehulehu a ma luna a ma waho o ka noʻonoʻo binary. Me he mea lā ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia i nā hanauna i hala aku nei aia kahi kikoʻī kahi e loli ai mākou a pau, i nā ʻano he nui o ko mākou ola, a ʻaʻole hewa maoli ke komo ʻole i loko o nā pahu liʻiliʻi. Me nā neʻe ʻana o ka hoʻoponopono kaiapuni āpau, pono e hoʻomaikaʻi i ke kahua i hiki ai iā mākou ke kū i ko mākou wahi i kēia lā. ʻAʻole paʻa ʻia kēia mau kuleana no ka wā e hiki mai ana akā hiki iā mākou ke hoʻoikaika i kā mākou ʻōpio e hoʻomau i ka hōʻike ʻana iā lākou iho a kākoʻo iā lākou ma o nā pilikia paʻakikī a mākou e kū nei. Loaʻa iā mākou ka manawa kūpono e holomua kokoke aku ai i ka lāhui i ʻōlelo ʻia iā mākou. Ke hana nei au ma ke ʻano he luna mālama ma ka hui pū ʻana me ke keʻena pilikia psychiatric pediatric, hoʻomanaʻo ʻia au i kēlā me kēia lā he paʻakikī kā kā mākou mau keiki me nā pilikia pilikanaka a me nā mea ʻaʻole maopopo iā mākou nā hanauna kahiko. I ko kākou hāʻawi ʻana i ka ʻauamo i kēia hanauna hou, pono kākou e hoʻomanaʻo he ʻokoʻa ke ʻano o kā lākou hakakā ʻana mai ko kākou. ʻIke pū wau ua pili nui nā kuleana LGBTQ me ke kuleana kumu no ke komo ʻana i ka mālama olakino.
ʻO nā hanana Haʻaheo o New York no 2022 ke kumuhana, "Unapologetically, Us." Ua hoʻoholo ʻo Denver i kahi kumumanaʻo "Together with Pride" e hōʻailona i ka hoʻolauleʻa kanaka mua i loko o ʻelua mau makahiki ma muli o COVID-19. I ka hopena o kēia mahina (Iune 25th a hiki i 26th) e hoʻopaʻa wau iaʻu iho i nā mea āpau a kū i ka haʻaheo me he wahine polyamorous, bisexual. ʻO ka ʻike ʻana ʻaʻole pono wau e makaʻu i ka lilo ʻana o koʻu hale noho, ʻoihana, ʻohana a i ʻole ka hopu ʻia ʻana ma nā alanui ma muli o koʻu hōʻike ʻana i kēia ao, mahalo i nā hana nui a pau i hiki mai i mua oʻu. ʻO ka haʻaheo kahi manawa kūpono e hoʻolauleʻa ai i nā hana paʻakikī a pau i hoʻokō ʻia i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā kānāwai a me nā ʻano pilikanaka. E hula kākou ma ke alanui a e hauʻoli e like me ko kākou lanakila ʻana i ke kaua lōʻihi akā ʻaʻole e haʻalele iā mākou iho i ka maikaʻi me ke ʻano o kēia manawa. Mai huikau i ka hoʻolauleʻa me ka ʻoluʻolu. E aʻo kākou i ka poʻe ʻōpio i ikaika a palupalu, wiwo ʻole akā aloha. E paipai kekahi i kekahi e kamaʻilio i ko mākou mau pono a me ko mākou ʻike ma ke ʻano he kanaka e kaʻana like ana i kēia honua. E noʻonoʻo a makemake e hoʻokūkū i kāu mau manaʻoʻiʻo, ʻoiai inā ʻoe e manaʻo nei ua pili mua ʻoe i kēia neʻe! E noiʻi, noiʻi, nīnau i nā nīnau akā mai hilinaʻi i kāu mau hoaaloha LGBTQ e aʻo iā ʻoe i kēia mau pilikia. ʻO ka Pride Month ka manawa e hoʻomau ai i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana a me ke kono ʻana i nā kamaʻilio paʻakikī e pili ana i ke ʻano e hiki ai iā mākou ke hoʻomau i kā mākou misionari i ka hoʻoponopono pili kanaka a me nā pono kanaka no ka poʻe LGBTQ a me nā hui kaiaulu āpau ma waena.
