Get Ready for Pride Month 2021!

It’s almost that time of year again, queens. Dust off your rainbow flags, douse yourselves in glitter and let’s celebrate Pride* 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ 

Over the years, Pride parades have evolved so significantly, in a way that goes beyond just the sheer size of the crowd. Celebrated every June in tribute to those involved in the Stonewall Riots – where the LGBTQ community pushed back against police discrimination, the first day of June marks the beginning of LGBTQ Pride Month all around the world.

*Please ensure you are fully vaccinated before making plans to go all out this year :’)

We decided to put together a quick guide on a couple of small gatherings and virtual events that will be happening near you, plus the outfits you can wear for it.
