This is a response to Never Hide Your Pride: Here's How You Can Celebrate.

Happy Pride! The month of June is not only a time of celebration of LGBTQ+ voices and experiences, but recognition of the history behind the continuous movement for equality and issues the LGBTQ+ community is facing today. Although being an ally of the LGBTQ+ community and showing support is important, it’s crucial that we make space for their authentic voices and diverse perspectives - this month and all year round. As an ally, I recognize that there is always room to learn and grow in allyship, whether that’s taking a class that discusses gender and sexuality or being intentional about pronouns and language. Here are some ways you can support the LGBTQ+ community as an ally during Pride and throughout the rest of the year!
