Every June, members of the LGBT+ community, along with their allies, bravely raise the rainbow flag to show their true colors, celebrate their vibrant community, and most importantly, raise awareness about their rights and challenges, and fight for inclusion.
Over the years, Pride Month has expanded from pride parades to several initiatives centered on the LGBT+ community, including festivals, concerts, and movie nights, among others.
If you’re looking for events to participate in this year’s Pride Month in the Philippines, here are 10 upcoming affairs:
