11 Pride Quotes To Share On Facebook

Showing your love for the LGBT community is as important as ever in today's world of ever-changing policies and political turmoil. While there are many ways to demonstrate your support, these Pride quotes to share on Facebook are certainly not a weak start. (And neither is adding that lovely rainbow filter to your profile picture.)

The authors of these quotes are beyond insightful, and their words are filled with beautiful wisdom and thoughtful ideas. After the tragedy in Orlando, it has only become that much more evident how much more love we need to shine on the LGBT community. The hate needs to stop. We should all stand as one in this country, and hopefully most of us already do. If there is an attack on a gay club, it's an attack on everyone — at least that is how I view it.

Demonstrate your pride in the coming weeks by attending festivals, walks, and whatever other events are happening in your area. Making your views known in the world of social media can also make a huge difference in dissolving the hate and spreading the love. We can change the world, and it's important to make sure we never forget that.
