equitable world. When combined with the timeless symbolism of the butterfly, this powerful emblem takes on a profound and multifaceted meaning.

The butterfly, with its remarkable transformation from caterpillar to winged beauty, has long been regarded as a metaphor for personal growth, self-acceptance, and the ability to emerge from societal constraints to embrace one's authentic self. In the context of the LGBTQ+ movement, the butterfly's metamorphosis resonates deeply, representing the journey of individuals who have fought to shed the chrysalis of societal norms and prejudices to embrace their true identity and lived experience.

The muted gray tones of the butterfly, juxtaposed against the vibrant hues of the 1970 pride flag, create a visually striking and emotionally evocative representation. This powerful imagery serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles, resilience, and hard-won victories of the LGBTQ+ community, while also celebrating the inherent beauty and dignity in embracing one's authentic self.

Through this captivating design, the butterfly becomes a universal symbol of the LGBTQ+ movement's enduring spirit, serving as a beacon of hope, empowerment, and the unwavering pursuit of equality and acceptance for all.

"Celebrating the Vibrant Colors of Unity: Embracing the Spirit of Gay Pride Month"

Each year, the arrival of June ushers in a joyous and profound celebration of the LGBTQ+ community: Gay Pride Month. This month-long observance is a vibrant testament to the resilience, diversity, and unwavering spirit of individuals who have fought for equality, visibility, and the right to live authentically.

The rainbow-hued pride flag, with its vivid spectrum of colors, serves as the quintessential symbol of this celebration. Much like the butterfly, whose own transformation represents personal growth and self-acceptance, the pride flag embraces the full range of human identity and experience, honoring the kaleidoscope of identities that make up the LGBTQ+ community.

During Gay Pride Month, cities, organizations, and individuals come together to commemorate the progress made, honor the sacrifices of those who came before, and reaffirm the ongoing commitment to creating a world where everyone can thrive, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. It is a time to celebrate love, diversity, and the inherent dignity in embracing one's authentic self.

*trigger warning: self-harm and depression*

I say stories are important and I encourage people to share theirs, if they are comfortable. I was sixteen when I began to understand the difference between "want to stay" and "don't want to leave." Some of that was driven by childhood bullying/abuse/neglect, the details of which won't be shared now. Most of it was driven by seeing what was happening within the lgbtq community while I was exploring who I was as a person. It was only two years prior, when I was 14, that Matthew Shepard lost his life to bigotry and hate, and being in the conservative mid-to-northwest made me no stranger to learning what it was like to be hated.

But, I also came to learn over the years that TIME is a friend. Survivors are often quoted as not really wanting to go through with it, but feeling so stuck in their situations, with no hope of betterment, that it seemed their only way out. Situations will always change with time. So, no matter how bad things ever got, I learned to hold to a mentality of one more day, one day at a time, no matter what. Make my life the longest god-dang run on sentence I could. And I learned that the greatest revenge I could have on those that would shun me away, was to take up as much as room and presence as I wanted, and tell them to shove it.

While I didn't have anyone in my life at the time to talk about it, like millions of others, I did find a sense of connection and feeling not alone through my favorite band at the time, Linkin Park. It was the early 2000's. I was later deeply affected by the passing of Chester. I was also deeply affected by the passing of Robin Williams, one of my favorite actors. And by a co-worker, who was the life of the party but had no family and took his own life one year on Christmas eve. And my sister-in-law's twin sister. Recently, I had heard of Nex Benedict in Tulsa. And another old, close friend of mine, who was a grandmother. And more than I can list out here. Whether I knew them or simply loved them as if I knew them, I carry them, gently, like jars of butterflies that should have flown, but were too weighed down and lost their battles.

All of the proceeds that I make from these designs will be donated to the Crisis Lifeline. If you need help, get help. Call 988 or visit 988lifeline.org

🔞 for Kerry because I desperately need to know what that man considers sexy attire

Lmao thanks for asking!! 💛 I didn't know either until I looked up "slutty man shirts" on pinterest and found out that me and the internet have very different opinions when it comes to sexy attire 😂😂😂

Actually I was very torn between doing something legit serious or fun so I went for both options (thanks @greypetrel for reminding me that both. both. both. both is good)

🔞 OC in something sexy

He's a farmboy, of course he doesn't need much else << I think the outfit came with a hat but somehow he managed to lose it - or maybe is an excuse for having someone to give it back?? 👀

Also the pride month official apparel because nothing screams gay more than a pair of crocs worn in the correct manner

Ah Men Christmas is a humorous take on the traditional Christmas celebration, infusing the sacred with the silly. It's a lighthearted approach to the holiday season, filled with laughter, irreverence, and good cheer. This festive concept can be expressed in a variety of ways, from decorating with kitschy nativity scenes and punny ornaments to hosting a "Hallelujah Happy Hour."

Buy now:19.95$

The beauty of Ah Men Christmas lies in its ability to bring people together for a good laugh. Whether it's sharing funny Christmas memes, watching comedic holiday movies, or simply cracking jokes about the season's traditions, this lighthearted approach can create a memorable and enjoyable experience.

From ugly Christmas sweaters adorned with biblical puns to office parties featuring a "white elephant" gift exchange of religious-themed gags, Ah Men Christmas offers endless possibilities for fun. It's a chance to embrace the absurdity of the holiday season and find joy in the unexpected. So, gather your friends and family, raise a glass of eggnog, and let the Ah Men Christmas festivities begin!

This term encapsulates a growing movement that seeks to reconcile LGBTQ+ identity with Christian faith. It represents a celebration of diversity, inclusivity, and love within the context of religious belief. This intersectional identity challenges traditional norms and fosters a sense of community among individuals who often feel marginalized or misunderstood.

Buy now

The combination of LGBTQ+ Pride and Christmas symbols reflects a desire to create a more welcoming and affirming holiday experience for all. It's a statement of resistance against homophobia and transphobia, while simultaneously embracing the core values of compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance often associated with Christianity. This movement is about reclaiming religious spaces as places of belonging for LGBTQ+ individuals and fostering a deeper understanding of faith and identity.

Imagine for a moment, tumblr actually liking the people who support them. Instead of plagiarizing memes for merch, they collaborate with credible tumblr artists and designers to create actually interesting and cute tshirts/apparel, posters, collectible postcards, stationery. Imagine a tumblr tarot deck or playing cards. Why aren’t there already tumblr playing cards? But best of all, these items would be limited runs and would change out. The artists would be our friends and neighbors and their work wouldn’t be the same plastic looking Canva-grade designs every month (or bi-monthly). Tumblr could kill it with Pride merch! Why are y’all so afraid of gays and artistic effort?

Happy Pride Month!! Remember, you are enough, just the way you are. And if you're struggling to feel proud of who you are and need help, get help.

Get Woke, Gain Earned Media Coverage

Get woke go broke, rhymes. It is, however, a stupid criticism nearly every time I've heard it applied to a company's advertising. The exceptions are when the criticism of wokeness is a criticism of the messaging and placement. Or when a company is truly ideologically motivated, but the latter is rare.

In almost every example of ad people call "woke," the business has no company-wide ideology. People at companies have ideologies and may push a firm toward their morality. But Disney or Procter & Gamble are too large and complex as organizations, having too many moving parts to be truly ideological.

When a publicly traded company, with a board of directors and many layers of executives, does something, it's generally smoothed into whatever the decision-makers believe benefits them. Their incentives are aligned with the company making money to pay out shareholder dividends. Charitably this is an imperfect system, but it also means any perceived ideology, woke or otherwise, is a hollow commitment.

Target

Pride Month is June. For the last few years that means each June, Target will greet everyone with a display for cardboard rainbows holding forth gay apparel, fa la la la, la la, la la.

Target has LGBTQ+ employees and allies up and down the org chart. But the pride displays are because the items sell at a profit. It's a sign of cultural acceptance that the LGBTQ+ market segments are so far out of the closet they can be openly catered to by a company that wants money.

The hand full of people flipping out on social media over the rainbow vomit wokeness are, generally speaking, free advertising. Were Target a single location store in rural Texas it may not work. But Target is a top 10 retailer by size, and at scale, the lunatic's freaking out help the bottom line.

Bud Light

Bud Light hired Dylan Mulvaney for a promotion. Mulvaney is trans, and while famous, not Beyoncé famous. Also, Mulvaney is not the kind of person normally associated with Bud Light, causing some uproar. The buzz has probably been incredible for Bud Light directly, but certainly for AB InBev.

Bud Light is a joke among many; It's the water of beers. It's cat piss in a glass. It's also the top-selling beer in the US for 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, and I stopped looking. Bud Light can handle people posting social media videos of them shooting the blue cans.

All the social media attention is giving a mid-tier influencer's brand partnership, Beyoncé levels of awareness. The rants and media coverage will make some thirsty for beer. Some may even want to support bud light. Others won't buy a Bud Light or a Budweiser; they know better get woke go broke after all!

But the people, now thirsty for beer, may pick up some similarly priced beer from Michelob Ultra, Stella Artois, Busch Beer, Natural Light, Landshark, Shock Top, Hoegaarden, or one of the other brands owned by AB InBev. AB InBev doesn't hold all the beer, but they own a lot. Carlsberg Group, Molson Coors, and Heineken will benefit from the Bud Light outrage.

The biggest threat to beer right now, is perceived as hard seltzer. If Mulvaney has gotten people talking about beer, AB InBev will make money. And that's the goal, profit.

True Ideology

Few to none of the woke companies people point to are ideologically motivated. They deserve neither praise nor rage for wokeness. Some companies are truly moving due to ideology.

Look at B&H Photo, they aren't a woke example, but you'll understand what I mean. The company is owned and operated by Hasidic or Orthodox Jews who keep Shabbos. So bhphotovideo.com does not process orders from sundown on Friday to sunset on Saturday.

What about Chick-fil-A? Despite an apparent 2019 PR push saying Chick-fil-A loses 14% in revenue from closing on Sunday, the math was stupid. The churchy chicken chain earns more per restaurant than any other fast food joint.

Closed on Sunday drives a volume of sales on Saturday and Monday. The spike (from limited data) for Chick-fil-A's sales is well above the expected baseline set by comparing competing restaurants. Consider shoutouts from the evangelical pulpits Chick-fil-A gets, and closing on Sunday is a marketing strategy, not a moral stance.

Bad Ads

So why do some woke ads fail if every large company, including privately owned Chick-fil-A, is just in it for money? Because some ads are ineffective.

The first time I heard "get woke, go broke," it was over a Gillette ad. The ad's messaging missed any reasonable mark. It spoke neither to the primary buyers of the products nor the primary consumers.

As I've written before, the "look at your man" Old Spice ads were brilliant because they addressed women with a male significant other. At that time, at least, that demographic was the primary buyer of men's toiletries.

The Gillette toxic masculinity ad started by pivoting the established company slogan, asking, "Is this the best a man can get?" Saying "the best a man can get" is a statement about product quality. The other is asking, "can't men be better?"

It reminded me of the Globo Gym ad from the film Dodgeball. "Tired of being overweight and under attractive?" Come out to the gym, you useless waste of human flesh. Generally speaking, shaming people doesn't drive sales.

If the Gillette ad used the same opener about toxic masculinity, switching to a montage of clips of Fred Rogers, Jim Henson, Steve Irwin, and LeVar Burton, ending with "the best a man can get" tagline, the ad would have been more effective. The ad was just bad.

Disclosures: Via agencies and production companies, Mason Pelt worked with Bud Light (Graphics for Bud Light Bands) in 2012 and Gillette (YouTube Channel Management) in 2013-14.
