Pride.
One word. Five letters. Yet, it carries an entire cultural moment with meanings far beyond a dictionary definition. Perhaps this is never more apparent than at the transition of June into July. As the clock strikes midnight after a month of LGBTQ+ pride, we find ourselves transitioning into another “Pride Month.”
You didn’t realize that? Neither do most people. The type of pride we celebrate in July is more commonly, or maybe more comfortably, avoided or forgotten entirely. And yet, since 1990, we have celebrated July as Disability Pride Month.
