Watch This: Let’s Celebrate Pride!

Jun 13, 2024 | Easy A, LGBTQ+ Rights

It’s Pride Month, and now that we’ve read about the history and purpose of celebrating Pride, let’s watch this video to learn a little more.

This short video about Pride Month has some really cool historical footage and pictures from Pride marches and the LGBTQ+ rights movement over time. It’s hard not to get inspired by seeing those who fought before us.

But it’s also a great reminder that LGBTQ+ rights are still very much at risk and the movement isn’t over. As we’ve learned, Pride is about both celebrating AND advocating for the LGBTQ+ community, and we are always looking for ways to do both.

Next week, we’ll talk about simple actions we can all take during Pride Month — and all year long — to make sure our communities are welcoming and affirming of everyone.
