Pride Text and Rainbow

Gay pride or LGBT pride is the promotion of the self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and increased visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people as a social group. Pride, as opposed to shame and social stigma, is the predominant outlook that bolsters most LGBT rights movements. Pride has lent its name to LGBT-themed organisations, institutes, foundations, book titles, periodicals, a cable TV station, etc. Some pride events include LGBT pride parades and marches, rallies, commemorations, community days, dance parties, and festivals.
