Amplify LGBTQ+ Pride
June is Pride Month and, while bringing more awareness during this month is important, it’s also important to amplify LGBTQ+ pride all year long. As caring adults, there are many ways to offer support to the young people in your lives:
- Take action: amplify LGBTQ+ pride by advocating for inclusive legislation.
- Model inclusion: include your pronouns when introducing yourself to others.
- Speak up: say something when you hear anti-LGBTQ comments.
- Listen: show interest in hearing about youth’s experiences.
- Stay informed: take time to educate yourself about the LGBTQ+ community.
