Human Rights Campaign: Celebrate Pride With a Protest

Views expressed in The Advocate's opinion articles are those of the writers and do not necessarily represent the views of The Advocate or our parent company, Equal Pride.

June may be behind us, but Pride isn't something to celebrate for one month. From gender-affirming care for trans youth to abortion access to queer people, LGBTQ+ rights are under attack.

Because the month is over, that doesn't mean Pride is. One of the best ways to honor LGBTQ+ Pride is through protest, according to the Human Rights Campaign.

"We need Pride to fucking fight back," one participant in a recent Pride event told HRC.

Another told the organization, "I don't want our fear to have us hiding. I want our fear to drive us and empower us."
