IDK if every state is recognizing it still. But they should.

Just going to go with the Wikipedia link cause I’m not really qualified to have an opinion beyond it should be important

Often people recognize it even when the state government sniffs with disdain.

  This may sound unlikely at times but eventually it always proves to be true. (Unless the government kills all the people, which sadly has happened too.)
  Protest at your own risk but eventually it is “the way.”

Still generally a big deal in Texas. Was surprised though that most cities delayed the parades til Saturday.
