    When I hear the word PRIDE, I immediately think of fearlessness, bravery, selflessness,

    and honor. Pride month is about promoting the equality, self-affirmation and visibility of
    the LGBTQIA+ people, by creating a safe space and community for people to be who
    they are; and as we celebrate PRIDE MONTH every June, we should not forget the
    brave souls who fought for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community at the Stonewall
    Inn, or the members of the community who were gravely discriminated, worse, even
    killed just because of their sexuality, or even those people who continuously fight for
    their place every day; because these are the reasons why we celebrate PRIDE MONTH.
    To remember, to resist, and to never forget.

    As an aspiring lawyer, it is one of my duty to continue the fight for equality: in the law,
    to amplify the voices of the oppressed, and to change the oppressive and discriminatory
    system which denies the existence of the marginalized sector. There is no equality if we
    do not recognize gay rights as human rights. It is not enough to be silent nor neutral in
    situations of injustice, we should be proactive, we should stand up and fight against
    discrimination.

    To conclude, I would like to quote the famous black transgender activist, Marsha P.
    Johnson: NO PRIDE FOR SOME OF US WITHOUT LIBERATION FOR ALL OF US.
