Pride Month

The month of June is often called Pride Month, or the month of LGBT+ pride. The celebrations include parades and rallies, among other things. This month is a time to celebrate your sexuality, gender identity, and everything else that makes you a part of our amazing community. Many corporations will help us celebrate by creating pride themed products, such as shoes and clothes. During this month, many cites are filled with rainbows, pride flags, and people showing their pride. This is also a time where members of the community, and our straight allies, learn about our culture, history and community.

Events
As stated above, it is very common to see rainbows and other pride themed products during Pride Month, but you will also see pride flags specific to a certain gender or sexuality. These include a lesbian pride flag, a bisexual pride flag, a transgender pride flag, and many, many more.

Sadly, during this month of happiness and celebration, there will inevitably be rallies and protests against the LGBT+ community. These people are known as homophobic/homophobes, queerphobes, LGBT+phobes and many more.

History
Pride Month was first introduced in 1969, but it wasn't really big until around 2000
