Pride Month is all about making space and showing support. Members of the LGBTQ+ community, along with their allies, have been showing up for each other for decades, and this June will be no different.


About 9 percent of U.S. adults identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning, according to a 2025 Gallup poll. Younger generations of Americans more commonly identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community, but the same poll found that 3 percent or less of adults age 50 and older identify as LGBTQ+. Pride Month offers a special chance to make those older LGBTQ+ adults feel seen.
