Every June, the world comes alive with vibrance and celebration as we observe Pride Month — a time to honor the LGBTQ+ community and advocate for equality and inclusion.

Whether you’re queer, or an ally, it may feel tricky deciding on the perfect gift to show your support. That’s why we have listed thoughtful gift ideas to offer your loved ones who are celebrating. Read below as we explore the roots of Pride, how to get involved, and how our international gift delivery service can help you send Pride Month gifts across the globe!
What is Pride Month?
Pride Month occurs annually in June, worldwide. It is a time to commemorate the progress made in the fight for equality, raise awareness, and celebrate the unique culture of the LGBTQ+ community. Throughout the month, individuals and organizations across the globe take part in parades, awareness campaigns, community events, and acts of visibility — all reinforcing the message that love is love, and everyone deserves to live freely and authentically.
The History of Pride Month
Pride Month has its roots in the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, which occurred in New York City in the month of June. It served as a significant turning point for the LGBTQ+ movement as it sparked a series of protests against police harassment and discrimination. In 1970, the first Pride march took place to commemorate these uprisings.
By 1972, the first Pride March in the UK took place in London. Since then, Pride Month has grown in significance, with cities across the globe hosting colorful parades and educationals throughout June. Pride Month now encompasses a wide range of activities, including art exhibitions, panel discussions, film screenings, and concerts. These events provide creative and engaging spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals to express themselves freely, share their stories, and create visibility for their experiences.
How to Celebrate Pride Month
If you are new to celebrating this exciting occasion, here are some fun (and non-performative) ways to show your support during Pride Month:
Educate Yourself and Others
Understanding the current issues that affect the LGBTQ+ community is one of the most impactful ways to be an ally. Read books, listen to podcasts, and attend panel discussions, to gain more insight. Educating yourself will make you more open to conversations and informing others.
Participate in Parades and Pride Events
Have some fun! Pride parades are exciting and joyful displays of the community. They usually include performances, art displays, and tributes to those who have fought for equality. Whether you’re marching or cheering from the sidelines, your presence will be deeply appreciated by the queer people in your life!
Support LGBTQ Organizations
Donating to or volunteering with LGBTQ+ organizations is a direct way to make a difference. Look for local or international nonprofits focused on mental health, youth support, legal aid, housing, or advocacy. Many organizations also host Pride Month events you can join.
Show Support on Your Socials
Visibility is a powerful tool. Use your platforms to amplify LGBTQ+ voices, highlight stories, and share educational resources. Whether you’re posting about events, changing your profile frame, or spotlighting LGBTQ+ creators and businesses — it all contributes to a more inclusive online world.
