Celebrating LGBTQIA+ Pride Month Virtually During COVID-19

Celebrating LGBTQIA+ Pride Month Virtually During COVID-19

2020 has been like no other year, that's for sure. The Pride Month arrived and there will be no big parades on the streets - this on the year that we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first pride parade, held one year after the Stonewall riot in New York. Pride Month has a unique opportunity this year to show how the fight for equality is intersectional and lend its support to the BLM Movement.

Pride is more than a Parade. So, although it will feel different, let us celebrate love as it deserves, respecting social distance, but coming together and showing the diversity, acceptance, and that human rights will not be limited to one group at a time.

We have selected a few events for you to connect and celebrate with the LGBTQIA+ community this month.
