A Reminder To The LGBT+ Community: How to Stay Safe During Pride Month
As Pride Month celebrations kick off worldwide, addressing the potential presence of protesters at festivals, parades, and events is essential.
A recent video garnered around 643.3K views stands as a reminder of how queer and supporters of LGBTQ+ can ensure their safety in the face of opposition.
The video started by emphasizing the importance of not engaging with protesters and instead advocated for staying in groups and looking out for one another.
