Show Your Support
- Support locally LGBTQ+ owned businesses - or LGBTQ+ affirming businesses.
- Make a donation to your favorite LGBTQ+ organization. Pro Tip: Local donations keep your dollars in the community. Consider a tax-deductible donation to a local non-profit such as Rocket City Pride. (Or a corporate sponsorship!)
- Share affirming content on social media. This could be a picture, an inspirational or educational blog or video, or simply comment your support on others’ posts.
- Hang a Pride flag or poster at your home or business to show your support for the community.
- Sport some Pride gear. Pride-themed clothing and accessories can be found almost anywhere. Official Rocket City Pride merch can be ordered at www.rocketcitypride.com
No matter how you choose to celebrate, remember the most important rules of Pride:
This is a celebration of a courageous uprising in pursuit of equality. Countless lives have been lost to allow the freedom to celebrate. Pride is an exercise in visibility and an opportunity to connect with kindred spirits.
Pride is about love and acceptance. Love is love. And love is the best thing we do. Let’s share it with all humanity.
Happy Pride, Huntsville!
