Pride Month is a time to celebrate identity, inclusion, and the importance of being accepted for who you are. Pride Month is a time to celebrate being yourself and to show kindness and respect for others. It reminds us that everyone deserves to feel accepted and valued.
The first Pride marches took place in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City in 1970, after the Stonewall Uprising in 1969. These marches were an important moment and helped start the Pride movement we know. Today, Pride Month is celebrated with Parties, Parades, and Music Festivals where communities come together to celebrate LGBTQ+ identity, equality, and love.
A big part of Pride is Chosen Family. This means the people we care about and feel supported by, even if we are not related by blood. These are friends, mentors, partners, and community who show up for one another and create a sense of love and safety.
Pride Month is important to me because it celebrates diversity in identity, family, and community. It is a time to feel like you belong and feel welcome.
An example of representation in stories from American Girl. The character Kira Baliy has two great-aunts named Mamie and Lynette, who are a married couple, showing one of the first LGBTQ+ families.
We believe in a world where everyone can be proud of who they are and live in a world without judgement.
