But they must not disappear.
Our disruptive rainbow is here to stay.

Pride
Every year June is celebrated as #Pride month around the world, an opportunity for the International LGBTIQA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender diverse, intersex and queer) community to celebrate the achievements of the movement born out of the Stonewall Riots in Greenwich Village.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the riots that erupted in New York, protesting police brutality and systemic discrimination against members of the LGBTIQA+ community. Worldwide Pride events are planned around the world to promote gender diversity, tolerance, acceptance, and inclusion. It is an opportunity to commemorate the struggles, sacrifice and resilience of every generation of LGBTIQA+ activists who fought discrimination and paved the way for social change, including the legislation for marriage equality, which is now in power in 26 countries around the world.
Pride month is an opportunity to celebrate all that; an opportunity to reaffirm a stance against discrimination and violence; an opportunity to raise awareness for LGBTIQA+ issues; to spread a message of self worth, dignity and safety; an opportunity to celebrate achievements, to see how far we have gone as inclusive communities, but also how much further we can go.
