Pride Month: Never be ashamed of who you are
June 30, 2023
Throughout Pride Month, we celebrate with the LGBTQIA+ community, and the ongoing campaign for acceptance and equality.
Being LGBTQIA+ doesn’t cause mental health problems, and yet those of us that are LGBTQIA+ are known to be more likely to suffer with mental health issues for reasons because of:
- Discrimination
- Homophobia
- Transphobia
- Social isolation
- Rejection
- Difficult experiences coming out
The sad thing is that many of these are avoidable.
No one’s mental health should suffer simply because of their sexual orientation or gender identity – never be ashamed of who you are.
