Importance of Pride Month in Contemporary Society

There is an increasing concern by people on whether Pride Month should exist or not.

The controversies raised to support or oppose Pride Month depend on the people’s perception of

Pride Month. The groups supporting the need for Pride Month understand the rights of members

of the LGBTQ+ community while the ones opposing it find the activities of members of the

group to be a violation of morality (Vance, 2020). It is essential to explore all groups to ensure

that the pride month plays a crucial role in society. This paper argues against the people opposing

the pride month concerning the benefits that members of the LGBTQ+ community will get from

having the pride month in the calendar. Pride month is important in contemporary society since

it will assist in promoting equal rights among individuals, creating an inclusive society, raising

awareness of the rights of members of the LGBTQ+ community, and raising awareness of the

issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community.

Pride month assists in promoting equal rights among individuals. Pride Month is often

discussed within the context of LGBTQ+ activism and social movements. A good example,

according to research by Ryan Thoreson (2018), Pride Month serves as a pivotal moment for the

LGBTQ+ community to assert visibility and demand equality, drawing on historical struggles

and contemporary challenges (Thoreson, 2018). Similarly, studies by Shepherd (2019) highlight

how events like Pride Month contribute to community empowerment and public awareness,

playing a crucial role in advancing social acceptance and legal protections for LGBTQ+

individuals (Shepherd, 2019). These sources underscore the significance of Pride Month not only

as a celebration of identity but also as a catalyst for societal change, equality, and inclusivity.

Pride month helps in creating an inclusive society. There are various discriminatory

activities against members of the LGBTQ+ community. Many people find this community

contravening the moral obligations of society and exposing them to discrimination. Pride month

will create an inclusive society since people will understand the existence of the LGBTQ+

community and include them in other operations in society (Ciszek & Pounders, 2020). An

inclusive society will allow all individuals to explore their potential and thrive despite their

sexuality. Therefore, Pride Month is essential in ensuring an inclusive society that will appreciate

members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Pride Month facilitates communication about the rights of members of the LGBTQ+

community. Having the pride month gives them a platform to raise issues affecting them and the

best ways of addressing them. Pride Month also offers a platform where people from diverse

backgrounds will meet and acknowledge the rights of members of the LGBTQ+ community. It is

also an opportunity to connect with various stakeholders and activists who champion the rights

of members of the community (Goodman & Garcia, 2021). Communicating the rights of

members of the community will prevent them from discriminatory practices in society that might

have an impact on their mental well-being. Therefore, Pride Month should be a period to

communicate the rights of members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Pride month offers a platform for members of the LGBTQ+ community to raise issues

affecting them. Members of the community should have a chance to address any matters

affecting them since they form part of minority groups. Pride month will be essential in uniting

members of the LGBTQ+ community and getting their voices heard (Seering et al., 2022).

Stakeholders should increase awareness about the pride month and ensure that all people

understand it and utilize it to raise the issues affecting the community. Getting a platform to raise

to embrace pride month which will be beneficial to them in channeling their issues to concerned

parties during the pride month.

month, there are various importance that it will have on members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Pride month will assist in it will assist in promoting equal rights among individuals, creating an

inclusive society, raising awareness of the rights of members of the LGBTQ+ community, and

raising awareness of the issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community. Therefore, people in

contemporary society should understand the importance of Pride Month and be ready to embrace
