These LGBT Pride month quotes, captions, and sayings will make you fall in love with yourself and be proud of your part of the community.
Each year we celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. Even though Pride month is to celebrate the progress made by the LGBTQ+ community, it also serves to commemorate the community’s tragic losses and far too many hate crimes.
Since the first Pride celebration which is more than five decades ago, the LGBTQIA+ community has so much evolved into many other areas including politics and culture that fights for the rights of the community people.
Pride month is for everyone to embrace their uniqueness and share with the world in total style. The LGBT flag which is in rainbow color signifies the colorful activities and flavors you get to explore during this whole month’s celebration. There are many forms of celebrations in the Pride month including massive rallies, parades, parties, and many more LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual, and everyone else) events to attract people all over the world.
The Pride community takes huge pride and put a lot of effort into their movements like celebrating festivities with many different styles of costumes, makeup, and sparkle for the world to see and enjoy.
People who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community wait for the whole year to celebrate pride month in the US. Even this year, the LGBTQ+ community is celebrating Pride Month even louder and prouder than ever. So dust off your rainbow flag and put on some glitter, fancy costumes, and get ready to celebrate Pride Month with all you have got.
Pride month in June serves as a reminder out there that we all are equal no matter what our gender and sexuality are. This month is to celebrate all the strong and proud men, women, trans men, trans women, and non-binary people of the LGBTQIA community and how they all are inspiring us to fight for our rights and freedom to be ourselves.
Here we are sharing a collection of LGBT Pride Month quotes, wishes, sayings, messages, and phrases for the world to be proud of what you are.
