Starting June 1, rainbows will be seen all over the Internet in celebration of Pride Month. This event not only celebrates the achievements of the LGBTQIA+ community, but also recognizes the struggles they still face.

Today, Pride Month focuses on the bravery and achievements of the community, as well as the inequalities they still face.
