Why June as PRIDE month?

…..

It isn’t just the people who are not heterosexual who are affected by society’s narrow views of sexuality and gender. It’s also their families and friends. Who want the world and society to open their minds, hearts and laws to be more inclusive. We worry about the safety of our loved ones when society is so hostile. And we want to support and understand the struggle those we love face. And educate each other.
And we want to know…

how can we help?

how do we be that person you share your struggle with?
How do we feel safe enough to you that we are your safety number when dealing with cops and hospitals?
How would we be the one you tell when you’re ready to share your identity with someone?
How do we support you?
