78 Instagram Captions for Showing Your Support During Pride Month

Sooo we all know Pride looked a whole lot different last year because of a literal global pandemic. And while it wasn’t the normal IRL festivities with in-person parades and gorgeous rainbow outfits touted in the clubs, the month was still filled with plenty of virtual events.

We had virtual live shows that featured celebs like Adam Lambert, Katy Perry, and Billy Porter. We had drag queen performances via Zoom. We even had online queer art exhibits. (Honestly, we love to see it.)

TBD what June will look like with COVID-19 cases this year, but regardless of whether celebrations will be outside or stay indoors, there are still some things you can do to celebrate and show your support.
