Happy Pride Month!
This June, we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community’s resilience, resistance, and the ongoing fight for equality. ✊
Why Pride? ️
Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall Riots of 1969, a pivotal moment when LGBTQIA+ patrons at a New York City bar fought back against a police raid. This act of courage ignited a movement for LGBTQIA+ rights.
It’s more than rainbows and glitter. ✨
Pride is a protest. It’s a celebration of diversity. It’s a reminder that the fight for social justice continues. Many LGBTQIA+ individuals still face discrimination, bullying, and violence.
How can therapy help?
A therapist who is affirming of LGBTQIA+ identities can provide a safe space to explore your journey, navigate challenges, and celebrate your authentic self.
Here are some resources: ️
* The Trevor Project: 1-866-488-7386 (Provides crisis intervention and su***de prevention services to LGBTQ+ youth.)

Pride & Palestine: Intersectional Solidarity ️🇵🇸
The fight for LGBTQIA+ rights is intrinsically linked to the fight for liberation for all. This Pride Month, let’s stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people who are also struggling for freedom and self-determination.
Let’s celebrate Pride with joy and purpose. Be an ally, speak up, and support LGBTQIA+ rights everywhere!
