While I'm still contemplating and researching my Pride post ideas for this year, I figured I could start with a few important resources (and my first ever book rainbow--taken two years ago):
The Trevor Project
GLAAD
It Gets Better
PFLAG
The National Center for Trans Equality
GLSEN
and so, so much more (I know I missed some--a lot--so please, please feel free to drop more in the comments below).
Whether you want to inform yourself in effort to become a better ally or to support a friend/family member or whether you're questioning things about yourself and want reliable sources, any of the above communities are excellent places to start.
They have built inclusive and diverse safe places were education, awareness, and support are their most important goals. There are endless lists of glossaries, guides and handbooks, webinars and workshops, facts and statistics, access to counseling and chat rooms, and so much more.
Some easy ways to celebrate Pride: march (after all, Pride started as a protest, as a demand for liberation and freedom); get involved (make your voice known, join in on the discussions); donate (time, money, or resources); research (from informing yourself online about the basics to getting up to date on current bills going through).
