Pride is normally a time of celebration for the LGBTQ community. But this year, social distancing means parades and gatherings can’t happen in their usual form: Here’s what Pride means to LGBTQ people around the world – whether they’re together or apart.
Each year, in cities around the world, LGBTQ community members and their allies take to the streets to celebrate Pride -- uniting around the movement's message of self-acceptance and inclusion.
