The annual Pride Month is not just about partying on the streets.

Origin of Pride Month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To know what pride month is<\/strong> exactly, you first must know its origin. Although movements fighting for gay rights have been apparent in as early as the 50\u2019s (stonewall riots), the birth of the annual pride month which is held every June<\/strong>, began in 1970 (Christopher Street Liberation Day<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key people who are also considered as founders of the pride month<\/strong> are bisexual activists Brenda Howard also known as the \u201cMother of Pride<\/strong>\u201d and Robert A. Martin also known as Donny the Punk along with gay activist L. Craig Schoonmaker who were all instrumental in propagating the week-long activities and annual celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pride Month Recognition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first President to officially proclaim June as the \u201cGay & Lesbian Pride Month\u201d was Bill Clinton (1999) followed by Barrack Obama (2009, LGBT Pride Month). Donald Trump also recognized the pride month<\/strong> and is the first republican president to do so, but he only did it through a tweet rather than an official proclamation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Pride Month ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LGBT pride or Gay Pride promotes the self-affirmation, equality, dignity, and increased visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people<\/strong>. Pride, the opposite of shame and social stigma, is what most LGBT right movements are all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"LGBT<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pride is also used in other LGBT-themed organizations, foundations, institutes, periodicals, book titles, cable TV station, and library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is Pride Month Celebrated ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pride Month events happen every June in commemoration to the end of stonewall riots in June 1969. Although in other countries, Pride is celebrated on different dates<\/strong>, the official month that it\u2019s always celebrated in the United States in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the birth of Pride month<\/strong> is in the US, Brazil recorded the biggest pride march with an estimated 3.5 million attendees in Sao Paolo back in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happens in Pride Month?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pride month is celebrated in many different ways<\/strong>. June is jampacked with different days of Pride events all over the world. In the US, pride month is celebrated on different dates in different cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"oly<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

These events may involve street parties, public speaking, festivals, educational sessions, poetry reading, art exhibits, and more. The New York Pride Parade is recognized as one of the most well-known and largest pride parades<\/strong> in the US in which it also included a number of major celebrity attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notable Celebrities who Celebrate Pride March<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mindy Kaling, Miranda Lambert, Laura Linney, Lauren Morelli, Andy Cohen, Real Housewives cast members, Victoria Justice, Sir Richard Branson, Deborah Cox, Billy Porter, Ginger Minj, Margaret Cho, Kesha, Wendy Williams, Donatella Versace, Rockettes, POSE cast members, Neil Patrick Harris, Mel C. (Spice Girls), Madonna, Gigi Gorgeous, Lady Gaga, Lil\u2019 Kim, Rupaul\u2019s Drag Race cast members, Charli XCX, Anderson Cooper, Lizzo, Prince William, Ciara, Cara Delevigne, Nicky Hilton, Victoria Beckham, Dwayne Wade, Lisa Vanderpump, Demi Lovato, Meghan Trainor, Charlize Theron, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Lance Bass, Katy Perry, James Franco, Melissa Etheridge, Taylor Swift, Marlon Wayans, Senator Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Mariah Carey, Lilly Singh, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anti-Pride Marches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although pride marches are held without negative intentions, there are still religious groups that celebrate their anti-pride and anti-gay parades<\/strong>. Just recently in the Philippines (2019), a group of religious people in Marikina city has disrupted the ongoing pride celebrations in an attempt to \u201cconvert\u201d the people to \u201cLove God and be Transformed<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Straight<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In other countries such as Canada, Brazil, Hungary, United States, and Finland, \u201cstraight pride<\/strong>\u201d marches occurred in order to deliver a message opposing the original pride parades\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pride Month Safety Precautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pride celebrations are usually peaceful and fun<\/strong>. However, in Poland, a group of anti-pride people blocked the first pride march on the street in 2019 and hurled insulting words<\/strong> and threw water bottles on the police officers which forced the latter to use tear gas on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The march continued after the police\u2019s dispersal but if you\u2019re living in a country wherein LGBTQ marches are still grassroots, it\u2019s best to take safety precautions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • do not bring children with you ;<\/li>
  • follow the police\u2019s orders ;<\/li>
  • stay in a place wherein you can escape in an instance such as a riot occurs ;<\/li>
  • bring lots of water to avoid dehydration ;<\/li>
  • don\u2019t take your pets with you ;<\/li>
  • don\u2019t drink alcohol ;<\/li>
  • stand near an establishment wherein you can enter to rest from time to time ;<\/li>
  • don\u2019t force yourself into a crowd if you have breathing problems ;<\/li>
  • don\u2019t stay too long if you\u2019re not healthy enough to stay in a big crowd.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    How to Celebrate Pride Month at Home or Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If for some reason, you can\u2019t join the marches and festivities, you can always show your solidarity, allegiance, or support by celebrating Pride Month<\/strong> at the comfort of your own home or office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"pride<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    • Organize a pride party<\/strong>. Just like how you host some of your parties, you can choose to go for a Pride theme. Ask the visitors to come in their Pride attires and give away handbooks or send out e-mails informing them of the current LGTBQ issues.<\/li>
    • Establish yourself as an ally<\/strong>. If you\u2019re not a part of the LGBTQ community but you have full support, you can do so by posting something Pride-related in your social media accounts.<\/li>
    • Fundraising<\/strong>. If you have great connections, one of the biggest things that you can do to support LGBTQ+ is to donate to the organizations that are dedicated to their causes.<\/li>
    • Book Club reading<\/strong>. If you are already a member of a book club, you can suggest reading something that spreads awareness in relation to LGBTQ+ causes and issues.<\/li>
    • Suggest work policy revision<\/strong>s. Should your company still isn\u2019t recognizing the rights of LGBTQ+ people, you can organize a company policy evaluation.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      There are many reasons why an individual should be proud but there are no valid reasons to deny a group of people the equality that they deserve. If you want to witness a major change when it comes to your society\u2019s treatment towards people of the LGBTQ+ community, you have to be part of the annual pride month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
