So this June has been ever so &#8216;slightly&#8217; better than the last one.

Pride matters for many reasons beyond this, is much more than a few events in summer. Pride is so important because just like what we aim to achieve with <a href=\"https:\/\/test.humansofcode.org\/join-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">humains du code<\/a> by providing a safe and supportive place for IT professionals pride also helps LGBTQIA+ people with a community, safe space, and a chance to celebrate who they are and who they love without shame. There is a lot of progress to be made, and Pride is one of the ways we can draw attention to LGBTQIA+ issues and injustices all over the world.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What&#8217;s the best thing I can do to celebrate Pride?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although so much has been achieved through legislative change and, don&#8217;t get me wrong, that&#8217;s great! The biggest change is in attitude, and that is something that every one of us has to contribute towards. Pride is a celebration of love and acceptance. The biggest thing we can all do is shrug off the closed-minded crappy views and options of old and embrace each other for who we really are. So much has changed for the better and there really is no reason why we can&#8217;t keep on this great path we have started!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Be there for everyone, be supportive, be open and, most importantly, be kind.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to know more?
