What Pride means to you
Pride means exactly what it means. I love that I have built and am a part of a community that is wide and deep and different. We all have different perspectives and ways of navigating this life and it has given me a strength I didn’t know I had before coming out. I have so much pride in belonging to this community.
Supporting the LGBTQ+ community
Listen to the LGBTQ+ community and directly help people within that community in whatever way you have the capacity to do so.
