<h5>What does Pride mean?</h5>  <p>Pride is a celebration of the LGBTQ community. LGBTQ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer. These words describe who a person is attracted to. </p>
<p>
Pride is all about celebrating the rights of queer people, especially their right to love and live freely.
</p> <h5>How has the world treated LGBTQ people?</h5>  <p>LGBTQ people have been discriminated against throughout history. No one should be judged on who they choose to love, but queer people have had to face just that.
</p> <h5>Why is June celebrated as the Pride month?</h5>  <p>On 28th June 1969, the world’s first protest for LGBTQ rights, called the Stonewall Riots, took place in New York in the USA. It started a movement which led to the better treatment of LGBTQ people around the world. </p>
<p>
June is celebrated as Pride Month in memory of the Stonewall Riots. Joyful parades and marches are held in countries all around the world to celebrate Pride Month.

      </figure> <p>Marches are held in many countries all around the world. These parades are full of people wearing flashy and colourful clothes, carrying inspiring slogans, dancing, singing and enjoying themselves. 
</p> <h5>What are some big Pride wins around the world?</h5>  <p>Many countries have given important rights to LGBTQ people like getting married, adopting children and joining the army.</p>
<p>In India, same-sex relationships were not allowed for the longest time. But, they’re allowed now. That’s a huge Pride win for India. Even now, queer people cannot get married or adopt children. </p>
<p>So, there’s a long way for us to go. But we’ll get there. And until we do, let’s celebrate Pride!
