From BosGuy:

Pride is much more than parties and parades. What I think some people fail to recognize is in the face of hostility, legislated discrimination and violence, focusing on love and celebrating that love can be a far more effective tonic than channeling negative emotions. That is why Pride is and always will be at its core a political message: We’re here and we’re not going anywhere. #KillTheCloset

When I was in graduate school, we had a great gym at the university and I used to love to go to the sauna and relax after a hard workout.
