Recognizing and uplifting LGBTQIA voices is important year-round, but Pride Month gives the LGBTQIA community a much bigger spotlight.
LGBTQIA Pride is the positive stance against discrimination and violence toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people to promote their self-affirmation, dignity, equality rights, increase their visibility as a social group, build community, and celebrate diversity and gender variance.
During Pride Month, the LGBTQIA community and its allies get together at parades, marches and other organized events in the U.S. and around the world. While it’s certainly a cause for celebration, Pride Month is also a time to reflect on the history of the movement; remember the lives lost to violence and HIV/AIDs; and pay tribute to activists like Harvey Milk and Marsha P. Johnson who helped get us to where we are today.
