Question

I'm pan, and going to a pride festival soon. I'm scared, as it is my first time. Help?

Community Answer

There's nothing to be scared of! Pride is supposed to be fun, and it will be. Just be yourself and have a good time. Hopefully you're going with some friends, and I'm sure they'll make you feel welcome and comfortable (as will everybody else). I was scared the first time I went to my school's gay-straight alliance club, but I did it, and now I'm not scared anymore!

Question

What can I do to celebrate LGBT+ Pride Month if I'm not out to my family?

Community Answer

You can celebrate by hanging out with supportive friends at school or work, even if they are not LGBT+. If you want to attend an LGBT+ event, you can tell your parents you're "going out with friends."

Question

How do I know if I identify as gay?

Community Answer

Only you can determine if you identify as gay, bisexual, queer, pansexual, or another label. Generally, if you are attracted exclusively to people of your own gender, you may identify as gay. However, you don't have to be gay to celebrate Pride Month; you can be somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum or a straight ally supporting your LGBTQ+ friends.

Question

My parents are strict and I can't leave the house for the pride parade. What can I do?

Community Answer

I've been having this same problem! I'm only out to some really close friends, and I came up with a list of things to do. I wore pink, blue, and white for pride colors, I painted my nails the trans flag colors, I dyed my hair (that might be risky with your parents), and I'm going to celebrate the day of silence because I missed it.

Question

I’m asexual and aromantic, would I be accepted into a parade, some people say I’m not queer enough?

Claire Compton

Community Answer

Yes! Pride isn't just about being gay, it's about any LGBTQIA+ identity. You will be welcomed into pride because you are valid and you still deserve to enjoy pride.

Coming out is a personal decision, and each person's journey is unique. While Pride Month can be an empowering time to come out, you should only do so when you feel safe and ready.
