Pride Month is so important because it marks the start of huge change within the LGBT+
community, as well as the wider societal implications. Although attitudes and injustice still
remain, we have come a long way since the riots of 1969 and by continuing in this long standing
tradition we continue to raise awareness, improve the attitudes of society and encourage
inclusiveness.

LGBTQ is a time to come together, to self-identify, with pride in who we are.

Let us celebrate LGBTQ, as one, to unite and indulge, learn
and accept each other diversity, race, colour, creed, ethnicity and sexuality.

Let us stand up, speak out against homophobic actions and embrace each other
in peace, love and harmony.

Teach Love !!! Not Hate
Show togetherness !! Not separation
Teach Openness !!! Not Closure
