Pride Month is a celebration of history—our moment to honor the resistance and persistence that gave rise to pivotal change. It’s also an acknowledgment of the present and an opportunity to uplift and encourage LGBTQ loved ones in your community. Most of all, Pride Month is an occasion to look and dream ahead—to envision the world we want to shape, one where LGBTQ people thrive in every way.

One way to kick off Pride Month is by sharing a good word. So we asked writers from Hallmark’s LGBTQ community to curate a unique collection of meaningful quotes. From statements on intersectionality to words that go beyond the binary, these pieces are rooted in support and celebration of LGBTQ identity, helping you say what’s on your heart.
We hope these messages reflect your authentic bonds and help you connect with your loved ones. If any of these quotes ring true to you, share them this month and beyond!

Pride Month
Pride Month is a celebration that takes place in June each year and is dedicated to honoring the resistance, persistence, and achievements of the LGBTQ community.

Pride Month is marked by various events, parades, and activities that aim to create a sense of community and raise awareness about LGBTQ issues.
LGBTQ Identity
LGBTQ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning. It is an inclusive term that encompasses a diverse range of sexual orientations and gender identities. Each letter represents a different aspect of the LGBTQ community. Lesbian refers to women who are attracted to other women, gay refers to men who are attracted to other men, bisexual refers to individuals who are attracted to both men and women, transgender refers to individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex assigned at birth, and queer/questioning refers to individuals who may not fit into traditional categories or who are exploring their sexual orientation or gender identity.
