Not only this but schools are going through young people social media and reporting any LGBT+ symbols to the authorities.

Whilst in most places in the world it's easy to stand down and view pride as the party it looks to be. But do remember that around the world, LGBT+ communities are still being killed, harassed and is being silenced. Rights are being taken away from them.

We should apply pressure to foreign countries that go against human rights. We can do this by staying up to date on current affairs, lend aid to organisations in those specific countries which are a part of our values and even e-mail public figure people to keep them in the loop.

For example, the punishment of the LGBT+ free zones in Polen had the consequence of funding taken away from them by EU.

It might sound minimal but I hear this as Europe is hearing the violation of human rights and doing something about it.

Don't forget about the people who can't celebrate Pride or be themselves.

Hope you all have a great Sunday.
