Mental health within the LGBTQ+IA community is shaped not just by personal experiences, but by years of systemic stigma, societal rejection. So this Pride Month, it is important that we go beyond the rainbow and acknowledge the emotional weight many individuals silently carry. By raising awareness, encouraging more allies, and creating safe spaces, we take a step toward healing and equality. Let’s use this month as a reminder that visibility must be paired with empathy, action.
