10 LGBTQIA+ Influencers Celebrating Pride Month
Another #PrideMonth for the books! 10 LGBTQIA+ Influencers brilliantly celebrating PRIDE Month
From providing education to highlighting LGTBQIA+ issues to curating the #PrideAnthems playlist, social media influencers have joined in the #PrideMonth2021 celebration, and there's a lot to see and learn!
Where it all started
Pride evolved into the celebration we know today, beginning with the Stonewall Riots in the '60s (lead mainly by the marginalized Black trans and gay men community). An early activist/supporter of the LGBTQIA+ movement, Brenda Howard, also significantly impacted the movement.
"You needed some kind of help organizing some type of protest or something in social justice?" recalls Howard's partner, Larry Nelson. "All you had to do was call her and she'll just say when and where" (Advocate).
What we know as PRIDE today was once an act of outrageous, rebellious protest. Further proof that continuing that good fight is well worth the effort.
