Vezvenhau vezvemagariro vakacherechedza uye iko zvino kune mashoma anotyisa (asi akanaka) memes akatenderera, achitidana kuti tiyeuke Kudada hakusi kwerutsigiro rwekambani, glitter, uye brunch. Sekureva kweColorado Hofisi yeEconomic Development uye International Trade, kune "220,000 LGBTQ+ vatengi muColorado vane simba rekutenga rinofungidzirwa remadhora zviuru gumi nemazana matanhatu." Imwe nhamba yakakosha yekurasa kunze ndeye 10.6% yehuwandu hwevanhu vakagadzirira kushandura kune mhando dzinosimudzira yakanaka LGBTQ chinzvimbo.

Pakaita mhirizhonga pakati pemapurisa nevashandi vepabhawa iri nekuti husiku uhwu nekuti vatengi havana kutevedzera. Mapurisa akarova zvakaipisisa ndokusunga vatsigiri vacho. Kuratidzira kwemazuva akati wandei kwakatevera. Varatidziri vakaungana kubva kumativi ese kuti varwire kodzero yekugara vakasununguka mukuda kwavo pabonde uye kwete kusungwa nekuda kwekungoita ngochani paruzhinji.

Nemafambiro ose ezvemagariro evanhu, zvakakosha kuti tipe rukudzo kuhwaro hwakatibvumira kumira patiri nhasi. Kodzero idzi hadzina kuvimbiswa remangwana redu asi tinogona kupa simba vechidiki vedu kuti varambe vachizvitaura nekuvatsigira kuburikidza nematambudziko akaomarara atiri kusangana nawo tese. Tine mukana wakanaka wekufambira mberi pedyo nenyika yatakavimbiswa. Ndichishanda semaneja wekuchengeta takabatana nedhipatimendi revarwere vepfungwa dzechimbichimbi, ndinoyeuchidzwa zuva rega rega kuti vana vedu vanoomerwa nedzvinyiriro dzemagariro uye zvinhu izvo isu, vezera rekare hatinyatsonzwisisa.
