Pride has been celebrated in the United States and North Carolina for decades now, but it’s meeting new resistance. Nationally, anti-LGBTQ demonstrations and violence are dramatically rising.
In June, we celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month. We find ourselves at a time in our nation when the rights and freedoms of the queer community are at risk. Pride is not just a time for parties and parades, it’s a time for activism. Pride is the reminder of what we are fighting for and the visibility that comes around in June can save lives.
