“We shouldn't need Pride but the sad reality is we do, now more than ever.”
That is the headline I used for an article I wrote this time last year ahead of Pride in Liverpool week. Unfortunately, now just shy of 12 months later, the message remains the same and that alone speaks volumes.
June acts as Pride Month where for 30 days straight - pun intended - members of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies celebrate everything from their identities, friendships, relationships and accomplishments. Unapologetically might I add.
