🏳️🌈 💭 As we’re in Pride Month, I'm often asked what Pride means to me. This question always prompts deep reflection. 🗳️ ⚖️ Pride is not just a celebration; it’s a profound acknowledgement of our history and a bold statement about our future. This year, Pride Month coincided with the election of a new European Parliament, one of the largest democratic processes in the world. These elections are crucial as they shape policies and directions that affect millions, including the LGBTIQ+ community. 🇪🇺 🌍 Amidst this, we witness a concerning shift towards the extreme right, which fuels stress and anxiety among many of us in the LGBTIQ+ community. We know all too well how fragile our rights can be. The political landscape is changing, and the rise of extremist ideologies threatens the progress we've fought so hard to achieve. ✊🏻 📢 Yet, Pride Month is also a testament to our resilience. It reminds us of our strength and the importance of staying vigilant. We must continue to fight for our voices to be heard and claim our space, especially when visibility is crucial. 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 This year’s Pride also takes place against the backdrop of a Europe scarred by wars and invasions, crises that are heartbreakingly close to home. In these challenging times, it’s more important than ever to stand together, uphold our values, and support one another. 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ Pride is a time to honour our past, assert our presence, and fiercely protect our future. It is a reminder that, despite the adversity, we are unyielding in our quest for equality and justice. Let’s make our voices louder, our presence undeniable, and our resolve unbreakable. Happy Pride! #PrideMonth #LGBTIQ #Equality #HumanRights #StrengthInUnity #EuropeanElections
