Hey all!
As some of you will know, it's currently Pride Month! There's lots of Pride Events going on both this month and later months. Are you planning to attend any of the events this year? If you've been to Pride events before, what's your experience of them? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Im hoping I can go as its means I don't have to travel into my local city to go to pride as I know one in the city near me is massive and I struggle with big crowds so having it more local is nicer too and it's great that my community is fully accepting it this year too
only 4 days to go amy
Ikr I'm sooo excited for it. I really wanna wear some makeup for the event and I know there might be some craft stalls too and I'm hoping if I can I want to get a progress pride flag ally pin badge. I already got a gay pride badge but I also want to get the ally one as someone who supports the gay community
I'm going to pride on saturday witj my friends and her other scary friends who i didn't previosuly want to go with but i ended up getting tipsy w most of them and cuddling them yesterday lmao so i'm not worried abt them now. I hope I have a good time
That sounds awesome, I hope you have a great time going to pride
I have heard of autistic pride and it sounds very cool too. I like how it is both celebrating neurodiversity alongside pride as there are neurodiverse people in the lgbt community as well. I wish my area had something like this too. Well there is a local hub I go to which supports autistic adults and they do a variety of activites there now and then.
I'm will have to travel to attend its like just under an hour and half by train
I learnt recently that autistic people are more likely to be LGBTQ+ compared to non autistics approximately eight times more likely
I also learnt that autistic people are less likely to have a STI (although the evidence I found does do a U turn on that statement)
OMG that's amazing that you got to see Rita Ora and Idina Menzel I bet that was such an amazing experience. Pride is such a great event as everyone was happy even though we did have one protester in my area who actually left in the end. I like how pride was so inclusive and for me I felt very involved in it too
I went to London pride this year, it was insane how many people there were, and I had goosebumps the whole day, being surrounded by people in my community being their true selves!
Pride is such a brilliant event and I think it should be all day personally because of how amazing it was. Yeah it can be a bit busy too which I did find as there are lots of crowds and people. I went with my mum so it kind of helped with that side of the event. Going to pride with friends is always fun too. I'm hoping to do that next year and go with some friends of mine.
Love it I'm in essex
Ikr I went this year and loved it so much but I'm not sure if my local area will actually do it again cause our council in my area can be slightly fishy with things sometimes. The other plan is to go the city and go to the big one eventhough big events can be too much for me :Lol: cause of crowds and stuff.
