Celebrating Pride Month on the SANE Forums
The month of June is Pride Month, and we will be celebrating with a discussion here on the forums.
Pride Month is a time to celebrate our LGBTQIA+ Community, and on the Forums we will continue to elevate the discussions that we started during the 🏳️🌈 IDAHOBIT: Week long discussion 🏳️🌈 in May 2021.
Pride Month was born from a social justice movement, and continues to be a time for advocacy and empowerment of the LGBTQIA+ Community. We celebrate those that have come before, and to strive for social change to address the key issues that are still faced by the community. All across the world, there are community events celebrating Pride!
How will we be celebrating on the SANE Forums?
This discussion will be open for the month of June, with a new question every week. We will be building on some of the key themes and messages that were shared in the 🏳️🌈 IDAHOBIT: Week long discussion 🏳️🌈 and below you can see some of the key quotes fellow forumites shared.
To get involved, check back in each Monday for the new question. There will be questions about your experience, how you are celebrating pride month, the role models you look up to and an opportunity to share resources, books, artworks, events and activities.
You can get involved by:
- Making a post in repsonse to each question
- Supporting posts made by other members
- Reading along
- Sharing how you will be celebrating pride month this year
There are lots of organisations in Australia who have events, resources and activities for Pride Month, so feel free to share them here too!
Here is an overview of some of the key messages from the SANE Forums from our IDAHOBIT discussion last month:
