More LGBTQ+ History:
💔The AIDS epidemic of the 1980s hit the LGBTQ+ community hard - and governments looked away.
🔥Enter: ACT UP. A fearless movement demanding action, medication access, and justice. Their motto: “Silence = Death.”
Their activism saved lives and changed public health forever.

One year after Stonewall, the first Pride March took over NYC streets in 1970.
It wasn’t a celebration yet - it was a bold statement: We exist, and we demand rights.

What started in NYC grew into global Pride celebrations and protests.

🎨Did you know the original Pride flag had 8 colors—each with meaning?
🔴Red – Life
🟠Orange – Healing
🟡Yellow – Sunlight
🟢Green – Nature
🔵Turquoise – Magic/Art
🟣Indigo – Serenity
🟤Violet – Spirit
🩷Pink – Sex
Designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978, it was meant to be a symbol of unity & beauty in diversity

Let's do this: Some LGBTQ+ History
🏳️‍🌈 It all began with resistance.
On June 28, 1969, LGBTQ+ people - led by trans women of color -stood up to police harassment at NYC’s Stonewall Inn. This uprising became the spark for the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.
🔥 Pride began as protest.
