Throughout the month of June, people have celebrated Pride Month with Pride events around the United States. By expressing our love for the LGBTQ community, we are able to spread awareness as well as teach youth that being LGBTQ is beautiful. As we head into the final weekend of Pride Month, we wanted to highlight some of the amazing Pride celebrations that have already taken place so far. Here are some of the inspiring and powerful tweets from all across the nation:

I was proud to march in today’s #BuffaloPride parade. We are all stronger when we are ALL included. Today, we stand up & celebrate our diversity, & tomorrow we continue fighting for equal rights across the City of Buffalo, all of Erie Cty, NYS, & this entire country. pic.twitter.com/J02gldam9B

Well, #ClevelandPride was amazing. So many people were there! When I watched the parade walking, it all just hit me and I cried. Just…being in such a welcoming space and free to be me. It was humbling and wonderful.

#AlbanyPride had all these little children with their moms and dads. Teaching kids early on to not hate other humans seems like a good parenting strategy.

This weekend was my first experience at #minneapolispride I truly don’t understand how anyone could hate such a loving event. Everyone is welcome and love is everywhere. Thank you Minneapolis for welcoming everyone and being such an amazing love filled city .

Today the Pride Flag was raised at Cincinnati City Hall for the first time. Thank you to all the leaders who made this happen. As @GregLandsman said, “this is your city. You belong here. You are loved here. This is your home” #CincinnatiPride pic.twitter.com/QZW9rYQtDk

I’m at City Hall today, celebrating love and being an ally to my brothers and sisters. We’re a small town, but a mighty one. #AlbanyPride pic.twitter.com/bGga9SfiND
