PRIDE STICKER DROP #4 🌈💛⁠

Eleven years ago, Jim Obergefell just wanted his name on his husband's death certificate.⁠

He and John Arthur had been together for over 20 years. When John was diagnosed with ALS, they chartered a medical plane to Maryland, the nearest state where their marriage would be legal, so John could take Jim's hand and say the words they'd wanted to say for so long. John died three months later. Ohio refused to recognize Jim as his surviving spouse. ⁠

So Jim sued.⁠

The court ruled 5–4 that the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause requires all states to recognize same-s*x marriages. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority: "They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law." ⁠

That dignity is not guaranteed today.⁠

32 states still have constitutional or legislative bans on same-s*x marriage sitting on the books, dormant, but not gone. If Obergefell were overturned, they would become enforceable immediately. That means roughly 60% of LGBTQ+ adults in this country live in states where access to marriage equality would change overnight. Justice Clarence Thomas has already said the court should reconsider it.⁠

The cracks in the glass are not decorative. They are a warning. A reminder that this right is fragile and must be protected.⁠

We are still here. We are still fighting. And we will not go back. 🌈⁠

Radical Hospitality was used by our baristas on Friday! 🤗🙌

An elderly gentleman named Jerry came in confused and alone on a 105 degree day — and our team made sure he got home safely to his wife. Jerry, 83, didn’t have a phone or wallet and wasn’t quite sure where he was coming from or where he was headed.

Our team recognized something was wrong, got him back inside, called for help, and played Uno with him while they waited. Jerry went home safely to his wife Pamela — with a free cookie as a peace offering. Our baristas kept the line moving on a VERY busy Friday so our managers could focus entirely on Jerry and his needs to get back home safe.

This is how we care for our neighbors. Incredibly proud of our Brick Road team! 💛

We asked our team one simple question:
“What does Pride mean to you?”
The answers were funny, thoughtful, and emotional. Kind of like Pride itself 🌈

Now tell us what Pride means to you?👇️

PRIDE STICKER DROP #3 ⚖️✨

This week we had fun. But first, some history.

In August 1982, a police officer showed up at Michael Hardwick's Atlanta apartment to serve an already-invalid warrant for a drinking ticket Hardwick had already paid. A roommate let him in. The officer walked down the hall, passed a partially open bedroom door, and arrested Hardwick for having consensual s*x with another adult man in his own home.

The case went to the Supreme Court. In 1986, by a 5–4 vote, the Court ruled there was "no constitutional right to engage in homos*xual so**my." Justice Lewis Powell cast the deciding vote. Four years later, Powell told a group of law students he regretted it. After rereading the decision he said: "I thought the dissent had the better of the arguments." The ruling stood for seventeen more years anyway.

It wasn't overturned until Lawrence v. Texas in 2003. One bad vote, one man's private regret, seventeen years of our lives criminalized.

That's the institution in those robes.

So yeah… we put them in drag and called it a day. Because if this court is going to have opinions about what happens in our bedrooms, the least we can do is give them better shoes.

Are they serving up Charisma? Uniqueness? Nerve? Talent? You can be the judge here. Court is in session. 💋⚖️

PRIDE STICKER DROP #2 💙🩷🤍⁠

Words are being used as weapons by our Government right now.⁠

“Radically Pro-Transgender ideology.” ⁠

That's the phrase sitting inside a federal counter-terrorism strategy document. This is not fringe rhetoric. This is official U.S. Policy language.⁠

We've seen this before.⁠

On April 27, 1953, President Eisenhower signed Executive Order 10450, listing "s*xual perversion" as grounds for firing any federal employee. It covered every department, agency, and private contractor with a government contract, over six million workers. You didn't have to be caught doing anything. A neighbor could call a tip line. A coworker could write a letter. Investigators staked out bars. They followed people home. Suspicion alone could end your career. Between 5,000 and 10,000 people lost their jobs. Some died by su***de. The order stayed in force for over four decades. ⁠

In May 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a directive declaring that "gender dysphoria is not in the best interest of the Military Services and is not clearly consistent with the interests of national security." That phrase, not clearly consistent with the interests of national security, is lifted almost word for word from EO 10450's original language. Seventy years later and here we go again. ⁠

The pattern of attack is clear. Control the language, because when you control the language and define people as threats, strip context, and make existence a policy problem, you don't need to come for people directly. The system does it for you.⁠

We are still here. We have always been here.⁠

This sticker is a small, visible act of refusal. Wear it. Start the conversation. Because the language they're using right now depends on us staying quiet.⁠

We are radically pro-transgender. ⁠
Unapologetically. ⁠
Out loud. ⁠
