June is a fine month on LBI.

It’s also Pride Month and the month we celebrate the nationally recognized holiday Juneteenth. All that makes June tough on certain straight, white people in a beach resort area who face such hardships as seeing a few rainbow flags and someone they know having this Wednesday off.

I often hear people ask why anyone needs to still fly pride flags and celebrate the emancipation of human slaves. They are very adamant that the only flag should be the stars and stripes.
