So, you’ve had a great day, a drag queen dropped a pot of glitter on your head and you drank enough cans of G&T to sedate a small grizzly bear - but what next? Make it your aim to challenge transphobia, homophobia and general discrimination wherever you see it in your day-to-day life.
Taking on the burden of emotional labour for your queer pals so that they can enjoy their day is a great way to acknowledge your straight privilege.
It’s unlikely that anyone will cause trouble at a Pride event, but if you see anyone being abusive towards participants, it’s your chance to step in (provided, of course, that you feel safe). 10 of all pride product sales will be donated to The Trevor Project. Gear up and get your gay pride apparel to show where you stand. Be respectful of the people who Pride is actually for, take a backseat and enjoy the atmosphere. Shop for a new wardrobe with customizable Gay Pride clothing on Zazzle From tank tops to t-shirts to hoodies, we have amazing clothes for men, women, & children. Our wide assortment of pride apparel is flattering, durable and stretchy - it's built to keep you comfortable in your own skin and your own clothes from the parade to the after-party. And because basically every other space that’s ever existed has been designed for, and occupied by, straight people. Sure, this sounds harsh, but Pride events are safe spaces for LGBTQ people because the world has been (and often still is) a hostile place.
