Every year, the world marks June as "Pride Month" - to pay respect to the LGBTQIA+ community and its struggle for equal recognition and rights across the world. This year, however, is peculiar! The coronavirus pandemic has crippled all celebrations globally. Regardless, pride never dies, not even during a killer pandemic. From protests to parties, this is how the LGBTQIA+ community is observing its most sacred month!
