Get ready for all the rainbows because June is officially Gay Pride Month and each year it fills us with excitement!
June was chosen to be Gay Pride Month to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which happened in June 1969 and were considered to spark the beginning of the gay rights movement in the US.
The Stonewall riots are a very significant point in LGBT history and one we must not forget. As a result, June is the month where the majority of pride events happen all around the world.
We would like to consider ourselves pros when it comes to attending gay pride. We’ve been to our fair share and had the most incredible time at every single one.
We have particularly loved Sitges Pride, Barcelona Pride, Madrid Pride and Gran Canaria Pride: yes we love Spain. We have also been to some lesser known prides including Rome, Cape Town Pride and Leeds for those from the UK!
We’ve put together the ultimate Gay Pride Month checklist for you to make sure you are ready for each and every pride you attend. Find out what to take, what to wear and how to prepare!
We love seeing rainbow flags when we travel somewhere new – it just gives you a little ‘nod’ to say that you are welcome here.
When it comes to gay pride month, get involved and bring along your own gay pride flag to add to the all the colour. Wave it, wear it as a cape or just cover yourself in rainbow face-paint and you are one step closer to being ready.
We love these rainbow socks if you need some inspiration!
