Hi there! I hope you know what is important about this month. If you don't, get to know here.

June is observed as Pride month" in order to honor and celebrate the LGBT. Pride gatherings come together in this month to pay homage to “the stonewall uprising” which happened in June 1969. It is the month when LGBT communities gather and celebrate them for being them. If you don't know what LGBT means, it is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender. Let me explain further. 

A lesbian is when a girl gets to love another girl and a gay goes the same, but a gay is when two boys love each other. A bisexual person is someone who is attracted to both the genders. A person is identified as transgender when his/her gender identity does not match their birth gender. Let all this be apart. Even when people are classified into different genders, we should understand that they are human beings. The right to choose what gender we are does not depend on us. But, the right to live with that totally depends on us, and that should not be a matter to be ashamed of.

We can't wholly blame on ourselves. The society and the surroundings we've grown upon is also a reason why “gender identity” is seen as an issue. Every one of us have noticed transgenders on buses, bus stops, or in the trains. What is the first thing that comes to our mind? Mine was fear. I was afraid on seeing the transgender people on buses and now I realize how much of a stupid I was. That is what the society has done to us. To the LGBT people reading this, what's there to be ashamed of? To the straight people reading this, what's there to look at them differently? We eat what we want, we wear what we want. Love is something to be accepted in that way I guess. The LGBT people are no different from us. 

The LGBT people experience all sorts of complications that an average woman experiences in the society. It does not feel good to see the fellow beings struggle to protect their gender identity in a century where so many things are being normalized. We don't treat a member of our family who's a lesbian or a gay, the way we treat the outside people who are from a LGBT community. Change begins with us. Normalize LGBT, gender issues and other such things that we are not responsible of happening. Try understanding them if you have one in your friends group or family. I end up sending love to each and everyone of them celebrating pride month out there. More love to you <3
