With stay-at-home orders still in effect in many countries, people are left wondering how they can celebrate Pride Month. Now, when it’s more important than ever to celebrate love and togetherness, there are plenty of ways to take part in this year’s pride – by partaking in virtual events, educating yourself, or donating to organizations that honor, advocate for, and benefit the LGBTQ+ community.
Many fashion brands are getting in on the celebration with Pride collections, and by giving back the part of the proceeds to the LGBTQ+ community.
LGBT Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969. As a result, many pride events are held during this month to recognize the impact LGBT people have had in the world.
