Pride Month, or LGBTQ+ pride month, is celebrated in June around the world as a time to celebrate diversity and inclusion. The date marks the month in which the Stonewall Rebellion took place in 1969, a milestone in the fight for the rights and equality of the LGBTQ+ community.
Despite the advances made over the years, we still see situations of discrimination, prejudice and violence against LGBTQ+ people and other minorities. The fight for equal rights, whether gender, sexuality, ethnicity or any other form of diversity, is fundamental and cannot be forgotten.
It is important that we continue to debate and raise awareness of these issues, so that society can move forward and become more inclusive and respectful of all people. Although we are still shocked by issues such as bodily exposure or the fight for basic rights, it is a sign that there is still much to be done to achieve a truly equal and fair society.
We know that individual freedom ends where the freedom of others begins, we know how far we can go, we know the limits and barriers that we must respect. However, we know that democracies are sick and we do not know for how long we can continue to use our current freedom. The uncertainty about the duration of our current freedom is worrying... so let's move forward. Let's keep waving flags and fighting for a world where everyone can live with dignity and respect!
So this blog is about paper dolls and during this month we will share some paper doll art on this topic... and who knows, maybe I'll show you something new!
