5 Ways To Celebrate Pride This Month

Pride month is here and it’s time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community! It’s so important to recognise, appreciate and celebrate the fights and achievements the LGBTQ+ community have experienced and overcome over the years. Whether you attend pride events or donate your time and money, there are so many great ways to celebrate pride month.

Attend a Pride Event

From parades to festivals, there are loads of fun events in place to celebrate pride. Most major cities (like Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney) host their own huge pride events. They’re filled with music, food, performances, and, most importantly, joy. Whether you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community or not, find your nearest pride event, turn up, and show your love and support!

With big floats, dancers and drag queens, pride events are fun and inclusive places to be. There’s also an important educational element to these events which shouldn’t be forgotten.

Embrace the Rainbow

A fun and creative way to celebrate Pride Month is to embrace the beautiful rainbow colours that go with it. Why not try a pride themed makeup look?

Get in the pride spirit and use our Forever Flawless Pride We Are Love Eyeshadow Palette for the perfect pride look. With 18 bold and bright mattes, shimmering pressed metallics and neutral shadows to choose from, you can easily express yourself. Whether you paint a rainbow on your eyelid or not, make sure you go all out this pride! It’s such a fun way to show your support.

Another great way to express yourself is through face paint. Perfect for pride festivals, use face paint to unleash your creativity. Go for a classic rainbow look or mix shades to create custom colours – you could even paint mini LGBTQ+ flags on your cheeks!

Volunteer or Donate

Support the LGBTQ+ community by donating your money or time. Volunteering at local LGBTQ+ youth and community centres is a great way to show your support if you don’t have the money to donate. You can work towards improving rights, protecting the community and providing much-needed resources.

You can help make a difference by donating money too. Non-profit LGBTQ+ organisations are always in need of donations. These charities work hard to make a difference for the LGBTQ+ community. From pioneering HIV and AIDS research, preventing homelessness in LGBTQ+ members and working towards equality for everyone, these charities need real support.

Support LGBT Businesses

The LGBTQ+ community is so creative, vibrant and influential – but they don’t always get enough credit for it. You can easily show your support by acknowledging, sharing and buying from LGBTQ+ businesses.

Purchasing art, music and clothes from LGBTQ+ members can make all the difference. It not only supports the person financially, but also helps them to achieve their dreams while living their truth!

Etsy, Instagram and Depop are all great places to find LGBTQ+ businesses. It’s also a good idea to do your research and find local shops, cafes and restaurants that you can go and support.

Educate Yourself and Become an Advocate

LGBTQ+ history is a crucial part of pride month that is often left out of history books. Doing your own research helps you become a better and more supportive advocate.

Gay rights protests, Stonewall riots and same-sex marriage laws are only some of the life-changing, important events that have shaped the LGBTQ+ community today.
The 1969 Stonewall riots are the exact reason pride takes place, making it so important to understand and appreciate the history that’s got us to where we are today.

With more education, you can become a better advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. Be prepared to listen, learn and share your support this pride.
