PRIDE month serves as a reminder that the fight for LGBTQ+ rights is far from over. Despite significant progress in recent years, discrimination, prejudice, and inequality persist in many parts of the world, including right here in the UK. While it’s heartening to see events like Pride taking place in small villages like mine, the reality is that LGBTQ+ individuals still face challenges on a daily basis.
Visibility and representation are crucial aspects of Pride month. When LGBTQ+ individuals are visible and proud of who they are, it sends a powerful message to society that diversity should be celebrated, not hidden or marginalized. But visibility goes beyond just showing up at Pride events—it’s about being seen and heard in all aspects of life, whether it’s in the workplace, in schools, or in public spaces.
