Though many Pride parades and celebrations have been canceled due to the pandemic, there is no stopping the spirit of Pride month. We have compiled several unique ways you can celebrate Pride while staying at safe at home.
Learn About LGBTQ+ History
It is very important to learn and memorize the history of the LGBTQ+ community if you haven’t already. Visit Stonewall from home and learn more about our shared history. In addition, take a moment to contribute to arguably the most iconic locale in all queer history which is struggling right now because of Covid-19. Contribute to Stonewall here.
Host a Virtual Happy Hour
Host it with your friends, family, or even with your company and coworkers to spread Pride awareness. Decorate your virtual background or profile picture with rainbows. Hop on Zoom and celebrate your friendships!
Donate to local LGBTQ organizations
Find LGBTQ+ owned local businesses or organizations in your area and donate to them in order to show support for the community, especially in this challenging time of Covid-19.

Keep your health in check and GET TESTED
Your health is important, too. Try to use this time as an opportunity to take care of yourself. Here is a list of LGBTQ+ friendly clinics.
Remember that the first Pride was a riot
This year more than ever, it’s important to remember Pride started as a fight for basic human rights and right now, the black community needs our support in the aftermath of the George Floyd murder. The idea that Black Lives Matter is not negotiable here at WERRRK.com, it is a fact. Please look into how you can support Black Lives Matter in your local community. There is simply no more important issue this Pride month.
Pride month is here! Talk to your friends today about how to get the celebration started, whether it means watching a LGBTQ+ themed movie, a drag show, baking rainbow treats together or marching in the streets together in solidarity. Last but not least, remember to register to vote. It is quick, easy and more important together. Support your community during Pride AND at the ballot box. Stay safe and Happy Pride everyone!
