LGBTQI+ Pride Month celebrates the variety, value and splendor of LGBTQI+ experiences. It is needed especially now, as rising threats face LGBTQI+ people including discriminatory laws, the normalization of intolerance and anti-LGBTQI+ rhetoric, and even attacks on Pride events themselves. Celebrate, and advocate: visit the Human Rights Campaign for more resources and opportunities for action.
