This last week of #PrideMonth 2025, #LGBTQ parties and protests roll on around the world, undeterred by backlash. As the New York Times centers an op-ed today insisting the #gay movement has lost its way by supporting #transgender people, Prism & Pen features a stirring poem of trans support and tons of REAL, affirming #queer stories. 👇

Every time a queer person embraces their authentic self, they pave the way for others to do the same. Here are ten regrets I choose to no longer carry. Each is an invitation to move forward, uplift others, and live unapologetically as my true self.
