Pride Month is a celebration of history—our moment to honour the resistance and persistence that gave rise to pivotal change. It’s also an acknowledgement of the present and an opportunity to uplift and encourage LGBTQ loved ones in your community. Most of all, Pride Month is an occasion to look and dream ahead—to envision the world we want to shape, one where LGBTQ people thrive in every way.

One way to kick off Pride Month is by sharing a good word. So we asked writers from Hallmark’s LGBTQ community to curate a unique collection of meaningful quotes. From statements on intersectionality to words that go beyond the binary, these pieces are rooted in support and celebration of LGBTQ identity, helping you say what’s on your heart.

We hope these messages reflect your authentic bonds and help you connect with your loved ones. If any of these quotes ring true to you, share them this month and beyond!
