📅 All Month Long: Pride, Community & Celebration

This June, every single blog we publish is dedicated to Pride Month and our beautifully diverse LGBTQ+ community. Let’s learn together. Let’s grow together. Let’s celebrate each other—in all the messy, magical, and radiant ways we show up.

🧐 A Quick History: Pride Began with Protest

Before there were rainbow floats and sponsored parades, there was rage and resilience.In 1969, the Stonewall uprising ignited a movement—led by queer and trans folks of color like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. They weren’t just fighting for themselves. They were building a future for all of us.

Let’s be clear:🏳️‍🌈 Pride started as a riot.🏳️‍⚧️ It wasn’t cute.✊🏽 It was necessary.

Their legacy reminds us that Pride is more than parties. It’s resistance, remembrance, and rebirth.

💔 Pride in 2025: Joy and Justice

Here’s the truth:🏛️ Anti-trans laws are still being introduced at alarming rates.📜 Queer books are being banned from classrooms.🏥 LGBTQ+ folks still struggle for equitable healthcare.⚖️ Our basic existence is still debated like it’s a controversy.

So yes—Pride is joy, but it’s also protest.It’s glitter and grief.It’s dancing in the street and calling your reps.It’s being loud about love in a world that profits from our silence.

💆‍♀️ Where Massage Meets Liberation

Touch is not just physical—it’s emotional, energetic, and ancestral.As a queer, blind woman and massage therapist, I’ve made it my mission to create a space where you can come exactly as you are and leave feeling even more you.

At Jaqu & Cait, we welcome every identity, every body, and every story.

Whether you’re queer, questioning, transitioning, neurodivergent, exhausted, or carrying invisible trauma—this space was made for your healing.

Because your body deserves:

• To feel safe being held.

• To be seen without judgment.

• To receive care that honors your wholeness—not just your muscles.

This is trauma-informed, queer-affirming, soulful work. And babe, you deserve to feel good in your body, not just survive in it.
