This month we are celebrating Pride month. Pride is an annual event that celebrates LGBTQ+ lives, history and culture. It also reminds us of the work that is still to be done to achieve equality.

After a long history of mistreatment of LGBTQ+ people around the world, the Stonewall Riots in New York , in 1969, started conversations about how to make positive change for the LGBTQ+ community. The first Pride event was organised in New York on 28 June 1970 – it had an element of celebration and protest. Since then Pride events have taken place all over the world. LGBTQ+ supporters continue to fight for LGBTQ+ rights today.

Pride is usually celebrated with lots of parades and marches, however the coronavirus pandemic means that Pride will be celebrated a little differently this year. with Zoom and other social media activities keeping people connected and celebrating.

Take time to reflect, support and celebrate.

Happy Pride from #TeamRAD!
