It’s June again in America and you know what that means! Pride month! June is the month where we celebrate the strides and remember the struggles (and the folks who have sacrificed their lives) to gain equality for the LGBTQ+ community. The first weekend of the month was Pride in Buffalo<\/a> and we didn’t get to attend any of the events this year, so when we visit Toronto next month we will be making a special effort to attend at least one event during Pride Toronto<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I wanted to share a couple cool pride inspired things that I have come across online while searching today. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
