As Pride Month begins, our favorite celebs are showing their support for the LGBTQ community by raising awareness andย joining in on Pride events.
Itโs been 50 years since the Stonewall Riots of 1969 in New York City, which soon inspired the month of June to be Pride Month. With such a momentous anniversary taking place this year, itโs no surprise several notable celebrities are taking a stand for the LGBTQ community.
Taylor Swift kicked off Pride Month by writing a letter to Tennesseeโs Republican senator Lamar Alexander, asking for his support in passing the pro-LGBTQ Equality Act. She wrote in her letter, โLetโs show our pride by demanding that, on a national level, our laws truly treat all of our citizens equally.โ
At the start of Pride, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shared a message that during June, theirย @sussexroyalย account on Instagram will follow pro-LGBTQ organizations.
Modern Familyโs Jesse Tyler Ferguson had a message for that one guy hanging out at the White Houseโฆ
You canโt celebrate us during pride & reject us the rest of the year; stripping rights from our trans family in military service, our adoption rights & allowing for religious entities to refuse us basic rights. We reject you. Bai ๐๐ป https://t.co/H7UN1yGPZ7

Dua Lipa gave a loving shout out to the LGBTQ community on Twitter, saying โwave that flag every damn day of the year.โ
Yes, Dua, YES.
Indya Moore had a big message for brands who are going all in on Pride merch and marketing this month.
Katy Perry posted a colorful, loving photo on her Instagram, telling her fandom โLet us never stop lifting each other up. I see you, and I love you.โ
Of course, what would Pride Month be without a message from our amazingย Queer Eyeย boys?
Below are a few more posts from celebs who are showing the LGBTQ community all the love this June.
Happy Pride Month!!!! ๐ณโ๐๐ณโ๐ Love always to all my friends in the LGBTQ+ community!
