As you may be aware pride events for pride month are cancelled but i've decided to put together a lot of things we could do together and you guys can give me any suggestions too!
From June 1st i will start making fun threads a few ideas i have so far is
- Pride themed word searches and crosswords
- DIY tutorials on how to make rainbow things such as bracelets, hair ties, ect and we can share creations!
- Gender and Sexuality 101(i'll probably pick a sexuality or gender identity and make a thread about it! what it is, facts, myths ect)
- LGBT hugs thread? this could be a place where you share any struggles regarding lockdown and pride but also a place for support when dealing with sexuality or gender issues, relationship struggles and questioning and confusion.
- History time! (take a lesson in LGBT history, i'll talk about famous lgbt people in history)
-Quiz/general knowledge! (i'll make lil quizzes where the answers are in a spoiler you can see how you do!
- Lots of places will be doing online livestream celebrations i'll keep you updated on what and where
If you guys have any other ideas, suggestions on mine or want to get involved let me know!

It will include songs written by LGBT+ artists or LGBT+ songs
- A thread of all the ways to celebrate Pride virtually (I have a few ideas!)
- Photo competition: sharing your favourite rainbow photos, taken by yourself or by others. This could be a literal rainbow, flags, rainbow roads/walls etc
- A positive thread for coming out stories. I think your idea of a hug thread is so super important, but I also think if anybody has any positive stories to share of coming out, that could be a good way to recognise that sexuality truly is something to be celebrated and that it can all work out well
Any other ways that I could get involved/help you out please do let me know, I would love to help!
I was thinking about a photo thread that's a good idea people could share their favourites!
I really like the positive thread it's a great way to bring the community together
I love them I have no set plans on posting so it's just whenever and whatever you feel like ☺️
I'm also happy for you to get involved in any of the suggestions I've made!
