As you've probably already heard, June is Pride Month. It's a time to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community, and it's also a time to stand up and fight for equality. Of course, we should be doing both of these things all year long, but still, this month in particular is incredibly important in terms of showing up as an ally or standing up for what you deserve. Pride Month is typically packed with parades and marches all over the country, and it's the perfect time to allow your voice to be heard.
