Today marks the beginning of Pride Month. The first parade on June 28th 1970 was held one year after the Stonewall Riots. Now, more than ever, it’s important we remember the history and origins of Pride. Marsha P. Johnson summarizes the meaning perfectly, “No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us.”
Take some time this month to learn more and support the queer community🏳️‍🌈
Be brave and unwavering.
