But that’s still not the case for LGBTQ communities in every country, and even in countries where it is safe to march, there is still a long way to go before true equality is achieved.
In many countries today, people are free to join these marches, marry whomever they choose, and openly show their love.
Throughout June, cities around the world have been hosting marches in honor of LGBTQ pride. It’s LGBTQ Pride Month - a time to celebrate love, but also to champion equality and LGBTQ rights.
