This fortnight, I’m bringing you an article highlighting the events happening throughout the month for Pride Month!
What is Pride Month?
Pride Month is held every June to celebrate the diversity of our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQIA+) community. It is a time we can celebrate and recognise the history, resilience and achievements of this community
Pride Month is open to all individuals, so why not get your friends together and choose a few things to check out throughout the month?! I’ll feature some cool events below, but definitely check out the Sydney Pride site and City of Sydney to see all the events being hosted!
