Pride Month 2024 Food Ideas: From Rainbow Food Platter To ‘Love Wins’ Cupcakes, 5 Impressive Food Ideas for Celebrating the June Pride Month
Pride Month, celebrated annually in June, is a time for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies to commemorate the progress made in the fight for equality and to honour the history of activism that paved the way for greater acceptance and rights. This year too, we celebrate Pride Month 2024 in June 2024. Originating from the Stonewall Riots of 1969, Pride Month serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle against discrimination and prejudice faced by LGBTQ+ individuals worldwide.

Throughout Pride Month, various events, parades, and demonstrations take place globally, serving as platforms for LGBTQ+ voices to be heard and for issues affecting the community to be addressed. It’s a time for reflection, education, and empowerment, where individuals can express themselves authentically and proudly. Pride Month not only celebrates the progress made in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights but also highlights the work that still needs to be done to achieve full equality and acceptance for all.

4. LGBTQ+ Sandwiches
Create sandwiches using bread of various colours (such as white, whole wheat, multigrain, and pumpernickel) and fillings that represent different identities within the LGBTQ+ community. For example, you could make a ‘Bisexual BLT’ with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado on rainbow-coloured bread.
