Faces of Pride

June 2010

To commemorate LGBT Pride Month, we asked you, our readers, to make homemade signs expressing what Pride means to you. You guys broke out your crayons, markers and Photoshop skills -- along with a ton of creativity -- to reflect on how being an LGBT or a straight ally is pretty awesome.

Is LGBT Pride Still Significant Nowadays? If So, How?

Pride celebrations remain as necessary today as they have ever been. The meager progress on issues vital to the GLBT community from our Democratic president and Democratic Congress shows that it's critically important that we remain not only proud, but out and loud. So let's all resolve to make enough noise this June that even Washington, D.C., will hear us.
