Every year when June arrives, when Pride Month is celebrated, the streets are filled with gay flags, companies change their logos to colorful ones and launch various campaigns that supposedly show their support for the community and its struggle. The familiar move, long known as "pinkwashing," sparks debates and discussions every year and raises quite a few questions about what these companies do for the community in the rest of the months.

The one who chose to write boldly on the subject was the young actor and singerShahar Tabuch (24), who posted a poignant post on his Instagram page on Tuesday, writing: "Every year the month begins and suddenly like fairy dust everyone is there for you, everyone is nice, everyone accepts, everyone fights your daily struggle, everyone gives the community you are part of light! The light she deserves! Whether it's social events, songs (which is a controversial topic of its own) or loving and reinforcing lyrics, but now June passes lightly, July begins and that's it. Over. The struggle returns, the ignoring returns, the lack of acceptance returns. Fear returns. Suddenly the magic doesn't work anymore and like a spell that screwed up the people disappeared, the memory is erased and the rights we dreamed of and expected from a month before lol were never planned."

Tabruch continued: "June is a stunning month but still, I would love to have a stunning time in July and January and even December, because I'm gay all year round, we're a community that struggles all year round! There are amazing people who struggle with us all year round and it's so exciting, take an example. Don't just support when it's convenient or when a company advertises a product with a flag in June, you'll also be there when we fight for our rights in January or experience verbal or physical violence in May. Or when we talk gay love in November. We are proud all year round! I will sing gay songs all year round because this is my life. Me, you, you, we've been struggling all year!!! So be there. Come to the parade, give your voice, sing with us and shout our shouts and remember to be there next month and the one after because there is always somewhere to raise the flag."
