5 Ways to Celebrate Pride Month with Kids

by Amber Bowie May 31, 2023

Celebrating Pride and LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning) Month is a wonderful opportunity for moms to engage their children in discussions about diversity, acceptance, and equality. Here are five ways moms can celebrate LGBTQ+ Month with kids:

Education and Awareness:
- Read LGBTQ+-themed books with your children that promote understanding and inclusivity. Some recommendations include "And Tango Makes Three" by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell or "Heather Has Two Mommies" by Lesléa Newman.
- Watch age-appropriate documentaries or movies that highlight LGBTQ+ stories and history. Discuss the importance of acceptance and respect for all individuals.
Attend LGBTQ+ Events:
- Participate in local pride parades or community events. These events often have a family-friendly atmosphere and provide an opportunity to celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community together.
Support LGBTQ+-Owned Businesses:
- Encourage your children to shop at LGBTQ+-owned businesses or support LGBTQ+ artists and creators. This can include purchasing books, art, or other products that promote LGBTQ+ visibility and representation.
Volunteer and Advocate:
- Engage in volunteer activities that support LGBTQ+ causes. This can involve working with organizations that provide support to LGBTQ+ youth, homeless LGBTQ+ individuals, or advocacy groups that promote LGBTQ+ rights and equality.
Have Open Conversations:
- Create a safe and open environment for your children to ask questions and express their thoughts about LGBTQ+ topics. Encourage open dialogue, listen attentively, and provide age-appropriate explanations. Promote empathy and respect for different identities and orientations.

Remember, celebrating LGBTQ+ Month is not just limited to a single month. It's important to foster an inclusive and accepting environment throughout the year.
