Good Vibes at Northwest Arkansas Pride 2025
Greetings, Vocal readers and subscribers! This past weekend was eventful and filled with unity. As Pride Month comes to a close, the fight for our equal rights is far from over. Regardless of who's in the White House, we won't rest until everyone has access to the necessary accommodations, such as respectful and proper health care. We have to fight the good fight daily, not just during Pride Month. Also, we won't let a bigoted President and his cohorts devalue and dehumanizing us. We exist and here to stay. As I've stated in my previous stories, equality has always existed. No one is "forcing " it on you or anyone else. Being a decent human being and showing compassion who are different from you isn't optional. It's neither indoctrination, nor controversial. It's also neither a Democrat or Republican thing. It's both a common sense and humanity thing. No group of people should feel unsafe or be discriminated against, just because of who someone is or what they look like. Conservatives tend to call people like us who care about other causes and people's plights woke. Yes. Yes, we are. You know why? It's because I said before, no one deserves to be mistreated in any way, because of one's race, gender, or sexual orientation. We don't want people to lose their lives or suffer due to these Republican politicians and lawmakers having these oppressive laws that harms others. So yes, Republicans. We are woke and yes, we give a damn about those who can't stand up or defend themselves. We refuse to shut up or walk on eggshells in order for us to make you feel comfortable. Our voices will only grow louder and bigger. If we stay silent, then the bullies would win. When I say bullies, I'm referring to conservatives and conservative politicians.

The Fox and the Wolf
In a deep and ancient forest where the trees whispered old secrets and the wind carried tales across the valleys, lived a fox named Varyn. He was clever—so clever that he was both admired and mistrusted by the other animals. Varyn never hunted with force; instead, he outsmarted his prey or convinced someone else to do the work for him.

Celebrating 10 Years of Marriage Equality . Top Story - June 2025.
Where were you and what were you doing on June 26, 2015? For me, it was just another day at the office. So why did I bring up this date, you ask? Because today is the 10-year anniversary of marriage equality becoming the law of the land in all 50 states. The United States became the 21st country to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide. It was a huge victory for the us, the LGBTQ+ community, activists, and same-sex couples themselves. Two other groundbreaking rulings also happened on this day: Propositional 8 and the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Propositional 8, also known as Prop 8, was a California ballot proposition that passed in November 2008, which previously prohibited Californian same-sex couples from marrying. In 2010, it was ruled unconstitutional and didn't go into effect until 2013. The Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, was a law that was passed and signed by then President Bill Clinton in 1996. It previously prevented the government from recognizing gay and lesbian couples. However, it was later struck down, specifically Section 3 (1 U.S.C. § 7).

The Best Ways You Can Support Your Asexual Friends
When I first came out as asexual to my friends, it was...awkward to say the least. One said to me, "I've never met one of those before." Another looked at me in shock that someone out there could have no interest in sex. With each friend I told, I got bombarded with more and more questions, like I was a space alien waiting for the mothership to bring me back to my home planet. Believe me, times like that, I wish I were.

The Last Spell in the Margins
The house at the end of Holy Cross Road looked like it had let out its final breath. The rooftop sagged slightly, and the shutters leaned off-kilter toward the soil. Even the fence, once pristine white, was now yellowed and peeling. Inside, the family picked through the remains of Eliza Bankop’s estate with hazy, tired eyes. Piles began to take shape as her adult children divided what was left. The younger grandchildren dashed around the mess, their energy unleashed after sitting still through the two-hour funeral. In the kitchen, the spouses chatted with beers in hand, unfazed by the solemn occasion.

How An Ace Can Set Boundaries in a Relationship
Setting boundaries as an ace person isn't easy. Known as "the invisible orientation," not experiencing sexual attraction is not something widely talked about like being straight, gay, bisexual, or transgender. With the asexual spectrum being so wide, everyone's comfort levels are different, and boundaries must be set for a relationship to work. Here's a guide for every ace person on how to establish boundaries with your partner:

Revisiting Yuri!!! on Ice — 8 Years Later!. Top Story - June 2025.
That’s right, people—Yuri!!! on Ice came out over 8 years ago. Feel old yet? Yuri!!! on Ice is a lovely little show. It’s a half-figure skating, half-romance anime about a 23-year-old Japanese ice skater named Katsuki Yuri, and he’s having a rough go of it. After binge-eating before a competition due to stress and the depression of losing his childhood dog, Yuri loses terribly at Nationals. He heads back home to Japan, fearing and dreading that his exuberant figure skating career may be coming to a sad and rather lackluster end.
