Pride Month is a time for celebration, reflection and empowerment for members of the LGBTQIA+ community, supporters and allies — and here at TPG, we honor that wholeheartedly.
Throughout June (and the rest of the year, considering many cities around the world celebrate at different times), there are plenty of incredible Pride events to attend. Events range from over-the-top parades and concerts to insightful panels and lectures about the history of the community and the challenges facing it.
