Pride Month is here! Members of the LGBTQ+ community will be celebrating Pride throughout the month of June, and as the celebration comes, tons of stars have celebrated with posts to honor the LGBTQ+ community. So many stars kicked off the month with posts celebrating that Pride is here, whether they’re members of the LGBTQ+ community or allies!
The celebrations come during a year when many politicians and right-wing figures have attacked the LGBTQ+ community and have passed laws banning drag shows and attempting to stop parents of transgender children from getting necessary medical care. While the LGBTQ+ community and allies have fought back, this has proven to be an important time to continue to show support, especially during Pride. Check out some of the posts from celebrities celebrating pride here!
