Pride Month is a celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community and everything it has done. It is a chance to show the world how we are proud of who we are. The LGBTQIA+ community has been fighting for its rights for decades now, and it has never been more important than it is now.
We have finally reached a point where people from all backgrounds can be themselves without fear of judgement or discrimination. It’s time to celebrate who we are and what we have accomplished as well as all that we still need to do.
This month, let’s come together and celebrate everything that makes us proud of who we are! This is a list of web series and movies that have been created in honour of Pride Month.
