June is Pride month to the TLGBTIAPQQ2S+ (Trans, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Intersex, Asexual, Pansexual, Queer, Questioning, 2-Spirited) community and their allies.
Pride is a reaffirmation that discrimination based on one’s sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression will not be tolerated.
A cornerstone in gay rights social movements, Pride also calls for an end to violence against the TLGBTIAPQQ2S+ community.
It is about preserving one’s dignity and ensuring that access to the same rights and services is fair and just. In addition, it is a celebration of the diversity of sex, sexuality, attraction, gender and family diversity.
