Pride Month is not just about the rainbows and glitters โ it is a protest.

Until today, the LGBTQIA+ community still faces a lot of injustices, unfair prejudices, and discrimination in the society. With this, it is important that we know how to speak against these, how to act accordingly, or how to be a better ally. As we read the ways below, may we all be reminded that the term ally is not just a label โ we follow processes and take actions for being one.
Let us not stop at Pride Month, because the fight for equality, justice, and freedom does not end as the calendar turns.
