Every year, June is celebrated as Pride Month to celebrate and commemorate the different members of the LGBTQIA+ community. With every year that passes by, more people are becoming aware and understanding how important it is to be an ally to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and other members of the community, who are discriminated every day of their life for being different.
While some of them have the support of their loved ones, there are others who are yet to come out to their family and friends, and it may take a while, but till then, they can celebrate their sexuality with the community, and the easiest way we can help them is by being an ally in more ways than one.
While the Covid-19 pandemic may have spoiled physical events and gatherings, everybody is back to interacting in person in open spaces now, and just like that, there are many interesting events happening in the city. If you have been looking to celebrate and engage more with the LGBTQIA+ community, head to the following events because they not only include engaging sessions, arts, and culture but also food and music.
