Pride is often associated with parades, festivals, and celebration, but its roots are deeply connected to protest and advocacy. In this video, we explore why many LGBTQ+ advocates believe Pride remains both a celebration of progress and a reminder that the fight for equality, inclusion, and legal protections is far from over.

Understanding Pride's history and ongoing purpose can help us better appreciate the role advocacy, community, and collective action continue to play in shaping a more inclusive future.
