When you think about Pride, what’s the first thought that comes to mind?
Do you think about rainbows?Unicorns? Or perhaps huge parades? While you wouldn’t be wrong for thinking this way, the truth is that Pride is so much more than colorful parties and wild festivals decked out in every color under the sun.
You see, the entire month of June is Pride Month — a full 30 days spent celebrating andrecognizing the LGBTQ+ community and promoting their civil equality in a colorless society that has long denied it to them.
Why June, you ask?
Well, June was designated as Pride Month to commemorate theStonewall Riots, when in the wee hours of the morning on June 28th, 1969, police raided the beloved West Village gay bar, the Stonewall Inn, prompting a massive riot that lasted for several days. This rioting is what sparked the start of the modern LGBTQ+ liberation movement.
The following year, the Big Apple held the first-everGay Pride Parade, and over the last five decades, similar parades have been held all over the globe in celebration of LGBTQ+ pride.
Pretty amazing, don’t you think? While we’re still fighting for equality to this day, it goes without saying that we’ve come a long way since the dark ages when folks were forced to love in the shadows, constantly in fear.
Today, we live in a country wherelove sees no color, gender norms aredead, and onlyfragile egos fear equality. And if you ask us, that’s a really beautiful thing.

Look, no shade on designer wardrobes, but life is like, SO much freakin’ better out of thecloset.
If you haven’t left the comfort of your closet yet, just know that you have an entire community supporting you when you are ready, and most importantly—you areloved.
How cool is it that we live in a world where everyone has the ability to spread love to themoon and back? It doesn’t matter if you're transgender, straight, gay, bisexual, or lesbian. We can all love without limitation. Because love is love—it’s universal. And it’s as simple as that.
Some people don’tidentify with a gender, and that’s perfectly okay! Besides, binary is for robots, and robots are not cute. And seeing as we’re freaking adorable, we’ll just steer clear of gender identity, mmkay?
